History Manga / HighSchoolOfTheDead

* BarbieDollAnatomy: Averted. See BleachedUnderpants.

* BleachedUnderpants: The artist draws {{hentai}}, to no surprise. And by the looks of it, it seems that the artist also placed a character from one of his H-Manga in the story here (The reporter with the lightning-bolt earrings).

* CoolGuns: Most of them belong to Shizuka's friend, a police officer, and get requisitioned by the protagonists.

It is currently available to stream on Creator/Disney+ in both Japanese and English in certain regions.

* UpdatedRerelease: When the series began with the erratic schedule for its releases, Kodansha decided to have Shouji rerelease the previous volumes in full color, it stopped at the 4th volume after a regular release between each new volume, it's unclear if the project will go further than that.

* DaylightHorror: The series as a whole, since that's when most of the deaths are shown. Takashi's group also makes it a point to travel during daylight hours, making "them" easier to spot, reducing the risk of being caught unawares.

* PowerWalk: As the group prepared to escape the school.

* BladeOnAStick: Rei was a member of the sojutsu (spear) club at school, so she's familiar with such weapons. Multiple survivors also use makeshift spears as weapons, typically a staff with a knife wrapped to the end. [[spoiler:Rei's mother Kiriko]] uses an actual spear that she took from her husband's antique collection at home.

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Takashi and Rei have been noted for their similarity to [[Creator/{{Aniplex}} Aniplex's]] [[LightNovel/SwordArtOnline Kirito and Asuna]], with anime fans considering the former pair to [[https://web.archive.org/web/20190803015953/http://img.ifcdn.com/images/f1cbccdce243ed2a1537948a86dacab32e3fbdf6c35b373be81913300e3d33f6_1.jpg look like older versions]] of the latter.

* TheThingThatGoesDoink: The Takagi mansion has one, naturally.

** During the bath scene in chapter 6, Rei gropes [[OldMaid Shizuka's]] boobs to see if they're real, due to their enormous [[GagBoobs their enormous size.]]. The very next panel shows Saya's reaction, while Shizuka's cries of "No more! ♥" and "Not '''THERE! ♥'''" are seen from just out of frame, along with various sound effect hiragana.

* FanPreferredCouple: Despite a few moments of Takashi and Rei rekindling their estranged romance throughout the story, his blossoming relationship with Saeko seems to be far more popular among fans, especially after the events of Episode 9.

* BulletTime: Happens a lot in the anime whenever guns are involved. [[RuleOfCool Taken to a ridiculous extreme in Episode 8]] when Takashi fires various rounds that manage to pass [[{{Gainaxing}} between Saeko's thighs and breasts]].

** {{Panty Shot}}s and huge [[{{Gainaxing}} bouncing breasts]] on a girl who's being {{eaten alive}} by zombies can seriously mess with your mind.

* {{Gainaxing}}: From the artist of the original manga: "The animation studio says they're making the characters' boobs jiggle with no mercy, so the fans should be able to rest easy." Combined with BulletTime in one scene!

** Scenes of zombie violence feature constant cuts to [[{{Pantyshot}} pantyshots]] and gratuitous {{Gainaxing}}. The effect swerves between jarring, sad, and hilarious.

* KnifeNut:
** Two of the mall survivors.
** In the OVA Hirano seems to be about as comfortable with knives as with guns.

* PantyShot: See the preceding entry.

* FromBadToWorse: Good luck finding many situations that don't start going to crap within 5 pages in the manga.
