''Living Dead!'' is a comedy/horror manga about Aoyama Keita, a boy who has a crush on fellow classmate Haida Monako but was too shy to tell her his feelings. Before he can ever work up the nerve to finally do so, she suddenly dies one day without warning much to his shock. Keita attends her funeral writing a letter and putting it in her coffin as a last respect. However as he arrives back at his home that night, Monako suddenly appears at his window very much alive...mostly.

* CuteMonsterGirl: Monake.
* DaydreamSurprise: Keita has one when Monake gets out of his sight.

* EyeScream: In chapter 5, Monake's left eye sticks out of her head, messing with her balance. As a joke at anime-style eyes, her eye looks realistic and she puts it back with a contact lens.

* GrotesqueCute: Monake. Just look at her.

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: FleshEatingZombie and possible VoodooZombie. There's some obvious magic involved here but hasn't been revealed yet. Monake still keeps her personality save for the usual bouts when she turns to a mindless monster. Also just eating regular meat will bring her back to normal.

* RobotGirl: A member of a robot club made a really silly-looking maid robot named Kanako. Believing Monake is an incredibly advanced robot, he kidnaps and chops her to pieces while examining her. He almost figures out she is a zombie, but feels that would be denying the value of somebody's work and accepts her as a robot.
* ShoutOut: In chapter 14, Monake holds a plush of mangaka Shinya Murata. [[AuthorAvatar His avatar]] is a doodle of a naked guy, so she finds it tasty.

* AnAxeToGrind: Believing Monake is an vengeful spirit, Anri attempts to exorcize her ''with an axe.''

* PullingThemselvesTogether

* BodyHorror: Monake can tear herself apart and then pull herself back together just as easily. It's meant to be comical, but her insides are [[{{Gorn}} depicted in gruesome detail.]]
* CuteMonsterGirl

* [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe Half The Girl She Used To Be]]: Chapter 3 via Axe. Chapter 5 via some sliding doors.

!! ''Living Dead'' contains the following tropes:

* AnArmAndALeg: Played for comedy as Monake's body is extremely fragile in her zombie state.

* [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe Half The Girl She Used To Be]]: Chapter 4 via Axe. Chapter 5 via some sliding doors.
* LosingYourHead: Used as a RunningGag
* OnlySaneMan / StraightMan: Keita

* RealMenEatMeat: Inverted, it's Monake that loves eating meat. In fact, if she doesn't eat enough eat, she starts to act like a mindless zombie until she gets some.

As Keita quickly finds out, Monako has been turned into a zombie though exactly how and why eludes her. As she can't return home since she's supposed to be, y'know, dead. Keita's is the only place she can turn to since she read the letter that was in her coffin. Matters get more complicated as Monako now has a sudden habit of going from her nice cheerful self to a mindless monster at the drop of a hat. Though luckily eating meat seems to appease her. Thus begins Keita's new life living with the girl he adores...and trying not to become lunch in the process.
