The story takes place in a world plagued by a virus that turns people into Guignols, zombies that resemble marionettes. Guignols can be restored to humanity when they hear certain kinds of music, and thus the queen's Grand Orchestra as well as the smaller, unofficial Grand Orchestra travels to infected towns to deal with them.
Lucille, the leader of the unofficial Grand Orchestra, searches for a way to save his younger sister Cordie. Unfortunately, Cordie has become the cold-hearted Queen Gemsilica, who despises her brother and is convinced that he tricked her into becoming queen.

!!This work provides examples of:
* BerserkButton: Don't hurt Gwindel's hedgehog. [[spoiler: This is a Yuki manga. So there's more to it.]]
* CrapsackWorld: You are in constant danger of being infected by a virus that will slowly turn you into a mindless monster. Once infected there's no escape. The only ray of light are a group of musicians who seem VERY doubious, but with their music they can destroy the zombies and even turn them into humans for a moment before they die - however, said group consists of wanted criminals. And even if YOU are not infected... chances are high one of your loved ones will be. You'll have to watch them turning into brainless, bloodthirsty monsters and are forced to either get bitten or to kill and burn them (unless of course said musicians happen to be around). Best part? Once someone in your town is infected all you have to do is sit back and wait for a lighting sent by your [[AxeCrazy not really emotionally stable]] [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen queen]] to nuke your town into oblivion. And this doesn't even include all the shit that's going on AROUND said queen. There's a reason she's crazy.
* CreepyDoll : The enire premise of the manga is this: A virus turns infected people into zombies that look eerily much like old dolls, complete with crack marks on the skin (resembling old, cracked paint) and prominent joints. [[spoiler: Since this is a Kaori Yuki manga things are a tad bit more complicated. The virus is a curse, it befell the queen once who released it onto her people, there are people trying to use the virus to obtain eternal youth... and this probably is just the beginning.]]
* DudeLooksLikeALady[=/=]GenderBlenderName: Lucille, who's often mistaken for a girl. Also, various other characters provide gender confusion.
* DysfunctionJunction: Dear lord. Celes under her usually cheery demeanor still feels awfully guilty for living while her twin brother died, grows increasingly confused and disturbed about her companions and their true motives... and of the whole group her set of problems seem the smallest in comparision... which tells you how messed up these guys actually are. Good old [[MagnificentBitch Kaori Yuki]]...
* MagicMusic: Duh. Music done by the right people can destroy and purify the Zombies. A certain collection of songs performed by people with said ability can end the ZombieApocalypse. And then there's still the thing with the song the queen occasionally will sing...
* MoralityPet: Several. For one, Celes is this for the whole group, especially to Lucille [[spoiler: and later, Gwin admits he very much feels about her that way too]]. Then there's Gwins hedgehog, the beloved pet of his dead daughter. [[spoiler: In a twist Gwin was involved in her death. As punishment he had to accompany Lucille who handed the hedgehog back to him. To watch his behaviour. If Gwin stopped treating his hedgehog properly Lucille would suspect him turning dark side again and kill him.]] And their back story revealed that Spinell was Lucilles MoralityPet too in their school days.
* Really700YearsOld: [[spoiler: Le senat; also implied with the Philomelas, including Lucille, Berthier and Spinell.]]
* SheCleansUpNicely: At the end we see Celes as a young woman. An ADORABLE young woman. [[spoiler: who still keeps Gwins hedgehog]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS : Is it Lucille or Rutil?
* {{Tsundere}}: Spinell to Rutil/Lucille. Very much type A.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: The girl Celestial who dresses as a boy and goes under the name of her deceased twin brother Eles. Lucille often is [[DudeLooksLikeALady confused for a woman]] and has absolutely ''no'' qualms about using this for his own end. Justified in that he is what they call a Philomela in his world. [[spoiler: An artifical human being, which biological sex only develops later as the person grows and develops an own Gender identity.]]
* {{Yandere}}:
** Doesn't even ''begin'' to describe how Cordie/Queen Gemsilika feels towards Lucille. [[spoiler: The First Queen "Grand Guiniol" also counts. Also her father was one for her.]]
** Berthier towards Lucille to insane amounts.
