Let me put it this way, every single character in the series is designed to be compared and contrasted with their Nakama.

So, While I wait for the next Manga chapter (It should be out sometime today.)

What would any of you do in the situation with the zombies here?

I'd fashion some makeshift body armor out of any lightweight materials at hand, wrangle up some guns (I suck with meelee weapons) and head out in a truck or other large vehicle.

Well, I already have a large supply of dehydrated food... so barricade and wait it out.

Unless my mind snaps. Then I'd roll a paladin and get eaten as I scream, "FOUL UNDEAD, I SMITE THEE IN THE NAME OF THE LIGHT!!!".

I would make sure to find a tank of some sort and blow em all away if I got a chance to get to a tank.

I would lock myself in a gun store, using the roof access to pass the time by playing "Head Shot!" on the many prime targets milling about in the streets below. Sometimes I would make best with the people in the mall across the street from me.

This would last me a good couple weeks, until I realized that you can't eat bullets and I already ate my pet goldfish yesterday. I would send the mall survivors an SOS to let them know I was starving to death, and they would send supplies strapped to the golden retriever they had with them (since the Zombies don't like dog meat.)

The dog would make it safely across, but in the process of letting it in I would grow careless and get bitten in the arm. Then I would be forced to decide between shooting myself, or becoming the best armed Zombie in the neighborhood.

Guys, this is a Japanese high school. There ARE no guns.

Or. Well. There shouldn't be, anyway.

Okay in that case I would instead receive a head injury right before the crisis started, and would wake up in an abandoned hospital nearly a month after all the shit hit the fan. I would wander the streets of the city wondering where all the people had gone and why everything was so quiet, until I spied the nearest church. Figuring there would be people in there, I would walk inside. Oh, there would be people in there all right... for a very loose definition of "people".

On the run from the mass of zombies I just woke up, I would be rescued by a pair of survivors that use molotov cocktails and set gas stations on fire to escape. We would go visit my parents house to find out that they had committed suicide in the interim, and in the process of doing so the male survivor would get bitten by a zombie neighbor we attracted, and would get his head caved in by the super attractive female survivor, leaving the two of us alone.

We would then go on adventures through the countryside, scrounging for food, avoiding Zombies wherever we could, meeting more survivors, killing those survivors as they inevitably become infected, and over throwing a base full of military rapists who want to use the female survivor to repopulate the Earth by letting the Zombie hordes inside the gates.

In the process I would get knocked on the head again and wake up nearly a month after that, to find myself in a quaint farmhouse cottage where the female survivor has been tending to my health all that time. I will walk outside to talk to her as she's doing the laundry, just in time to see some military recon planes fly over our heads directly in sight of our SOS sign, giving us hope that rescue would soon be coming.

I would.... probably get killed pretty quickly.sad

But then I'd be the most terrifying zombie around...... I hope.sad

Just had some new thoughts. What do you think was going on in Hisashi's head in the time in-between when he was bitten, and when he finally started dying. Since the bite being deadly no matter how small is almost alway a universal rule of zombie movies it must have been a frightening time for him, waiting to see if he would be a threat to his friends or not.

Looked at the Romantic two girl Betrayal scene again, and while the manga killed off said betrayer quickly, the anime had a few short seconds of her either realizing what a horrible thing she did or alternatively being disgusted by the sight of her friend being devoured alive. It's likely both, but I'll always wonder about it.

Here's a thought. If your friend was being attacked by Zombies, would you try to save them, or ditch them. I'll let you guys decide the exact terms.

If I could save them without putting myself in serious danger, I would.

But unfortunately, being the coward that I am, I'd probably do exactly what the girl in the romantic two girl friendship did. I have to admit that if I want to be honest with myself.

Hey, she was already bitten, so it's too late to save her. Might as well have one person survive. You can apologize for your rudeness after you're safe.

I have to honestly say I don't really know what I'd do, and that I'd be lying to myself if I did say I knew. That's kind of scarier in a way. You can never be sure until your tested. Plus there are so many variables: Could I do it without being bitten? Is there still a chance to save said friend? Would they do the same for me? What do I have to fight with? Am I that brave? How many people can say they know themselves that well?

As for her being already bitten, I think it was less the kicking, and more the look on her face (which may have been more fear than anger, although they are connected). It would suck a-lot if the last thing you saw before you died was your so called 'best friend' with the most heartless look on his or her face imaginable before throwing you to the dogs.

@Jack: I'm glad someone did! ^_~

@Scenario: I would like to think that I would try to help them if at all possible, as I would at least want to save my friend from getting eaten alive so that they could die on their own terms. Disclaimer of not being able to say for sure not having been in that situation.

If I was on the opposite side of it, I would immediately let go of my friend and beg them to run while I still had the strength to do anything but scream in pain and horror.

Being perfectly honest with myself, I'd run around, curse my fate, fight a single zombie, run for it after realizing how much shit I suck at it, curse my fate again when finding out exactly how many of my loved ones have died to this zombie shenanigans, run around while crying like a bitch, and get screwed over by the "rules" which the zombies operate because there's no feasible way I'd even know that kind of thing before its too late. You just know that one guy prepared for World War C zombies with the smuggest look on his face will get his shit ruined by 28 days later fast zombies and shit.

So far, I love this series! Especially the fact that one of the characters is KOUTA. FREAKING. HIRANO. But it's also very wel-drawn and a refreshing change of pace from the usual manga things of "RARGH MY SWORD PWNZ YOURS!!!" Not that that isn't fun, I just think a new (old) story was long overdue.

I can't wait to see him kill zombies and do Alucard faces while doing it. Shit, they should just rip off every single camera angle from Hellsing's Alucard's fights and have Kouta do the same goddam things. He's Travis Touchdown-like in how much of a badass he is despite -maybe even inspite- of being a pathethic otaku.

You know, I'm actually disappointed by all the comments that "it gets better".

I hope it doesn't.

I was very much looking forward to putting this in the So Bad, It's Good category.

It's like all the cheesiest B-movie Zombie films have been condensed into one show that then adds an overlay of anime Fanservice cheesiness on top.

Those things never really go away, the plot just gets better despite of it rather than inspite of it.
