Manga/Gakkou Gurashi

And 25 is translated. I have no idea where they're going with this

Do remember that there's kind of a government coverup going on. Finding survivors are all good and well, but what if those survivors know? Things can turn nasty quite quick — see the Left 4 Dead "The Passing" set of comics for how fiction nominally treats the Military's reponse to these types of things.

Also: "Oh wow, your hand is so cold." Uh oh.

I don't think that's where this is going? It doesn't look like they're going to be making contact at all. And I guess you need to keep taking medicine once infected?

Back on the anime, I'll be annoyed if they don't get Taneda Risa for Kurumi

Yeah, that seems to be the implication, what with the soldier getting the shakes. Less Left 4 Dead, more Dead Rising, what with the need for regular treatments to keep the infection at bay.

Welp, the translator added some extra bits of information from the tankoubon extras (one of which was an actual "emergency response manual" which was hilariously blacked out everywhere) including, surprise, surprise, the involvement of a MegaCorp in this mess. Gentlemen and ladies, meet the Randall Corporation, a large pharmaceutical company whose contributions helped build most of the city the story is set in. They're the ones that printed out the emergency manual given to Megu-nee by the way when she was hired by the school.

If it wasn't already obvious, they're also the cause of this whole mess, via their bioweapon research. And it gets better, they actually created THREE deadly strains of virus — one that just kills you dead, the other an incurable and fast-acting version of the former, and one that doesn't kill you, but is highly infectious. Three guesses as to which strain eventually became the zombie virus.

Caught up with the chapters.

...Bioweapons? Great, they're basically that darn Umbrella Corp.

Kurumi's hand is cold. ...No. Well, the medicine wasn't perfect, anyway, but great, despair's gonna keep on stalking them...

And Ms. Megu was awesome. Makes me think of another great teacher trapped within despair's grip...

And now chapter 26 is translated, and I guess we're caught up

I'm guessing the anime will go up to Kurumi getting cured. Unless it turns out we're actually close to the end, in which case I can see the anime and manga ending at the same time

Well, damn. That end to the chapter. Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

What a Wham Chapter.

Is this a Knight of Cerebus chapter in a Zombie Apocalypse of all things? This chapter seems to be saying "fun" times are over and shit is about to get real. Even the zombies are fully drawn in Highschool of the Dead nudity.

Does this mean that 'Anyone can Die' and other Zombie Apocalypse tropes are on?

...I'm scared.

Plus that feeling when you remember that the writer is part of Nitro Plus.

We can also probably consider that the magical antidote trope is averted...

I'm just waiting for them to find the note. Which will probably be on fire.

I was tipped off by the word "horror" being in the genre list, and the fact that the School Life Club had taken over the student council room. Wasn't certain about the zombies until I saw them, but the fact that they never left the school tipped that a bit too.

Not planning on reading, but based on the illustrations, I already like the twintailed one with the shovel. A lot.

She's literally the third form of Ayaya. What's not to like?

Oh, and I actually had to do a reread to realize that the teacher had been dead since before the series started. On my first read I had taken it as her dying during the bathroom incident, but no, the only difference before and after that incident was whether or not she was drawn in - all the interactions were essentially the same.

Coloured zambees.

Also, it looks like these zombies are highly resistant to fire. So killing them with fire is not an option.

Peaceful days died(?). Now, let's survive for real...

Well, corpses don't burn that easily.

Chapters 27 and 28 are up in the usual places.

The Team Mom finally cracked under the pressure. And Yuki...was she perhaps faking insanity this whole time?

Yuki was always a case of Double Think

I don't think so. Her... disorder has had periods of lucidity in the past; almost any time it seems like Megu is helping, it's a lucid part of her telling her something useful for the real-world situation. (The first 5 chapters have many exceptions, but even the very first chapter has an example of it, where Megu tells her to go to the clubroom instead of home.)

I really couldn't figure out what was going on in 27. Did school catch on fire? That makes hiding in the cellar seem kinda dumb however. It may protect you, but how would you get out? And if it was just the smoke blowing into the building, there seemed to be an awful lot of it and the door was hot. That was kinda confusing, as I though the fire was just outside in the yard.

Yuuki has always avoided doing anything to stupid. I remember that came up a few times with Miichan

The character page is now open. Contributions welcome.

Chapter 29 is out. With a healthy dose of feels and what appears to be a ciffhanger.

A gun (likely loaded), three syringe doses, and a map. They could literally go ANYWHERE with that, up to and including the syringes being poison and the gun for the last person to blow their own brains out.
