Is this a Zombie? (2011–2012)
A nice twisted series
1 March 2011
Warning: Spoilers
A young lad who is killed by a magical nymph, is revived by a necromancer named Yuu. He is then her guard to protect her at all costs. Yet in his adolescent mind, all he thinks about is how to fantasize about his Savior. But during his revival, he realizes that he is a zombie, and made to combat anything in his path such as Megalos. Spirits who dwell on earth and are drawn to his powers. In the background is a new member named Hanura, a megalomaniac genius who thinks only her power is the best above all others. Except during a fight, Yuu's zombie interferes with her fight and absorbs her power. Now when she tries to transform to her genius stage, all she can do is gaze at her nakedness when her clothes disappear. Seeing as Yuu's zombie now has her power, he also has to wear the uniform Hanura previously had to wear which makes him a cross dressing zombie. This holds all aspects of humour mixing with fight scenes and multiple deaths for the zombie, Aikawa. Seeing as he cannot die anyway, begins to understand his role on how to protect Yuu. But in the midst of this chaotic conundrums, is a vampire ninja who wants nothing more than to wipe out Aikawa, using her special secret sword skills. But Aikawa prevails and defeats her which then makes this new addition to the family even more complicated. Now Aikawa has a house full of girls who are beautiful, dangerous, and most of all rude to Aikawa at any point in each series. All except Yuu. The only thing wrong with this girl is her voice, anything she says would be catastrophic. No matter how trivial. If she says 'Die' you die. Which is why she remains silent at all costs. Her power is so raw and unbalanced, she has to wear Armour to keep it from escaping her body. Yet she still can have fun in her own silent way. Aikawa feels for her, but in a juvenile sense. Still to see this motley crew work together is something of a miracle. Nothing can stand in their way, all except the sun which Aikawa cannot stand. If he stays out too long, he dries like a prune. This is not a series for those under fourteen. It does have some graphic scenes of gore, but also vulgarity to a small point. Yet this adds to the comical sense of teen angst, even among those who are a genius, a necromancer, a vampire ninja, and a zombie. And also a Ramen girl who uses her special blends of Ramen soup to quell the Megalos. All in all, a really good series which can make you laugh and sometimes tug at your heart strings.
