Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Imagine waking up one day, going to school, and going to the roof of said school to pine over your lost love. Then imagine looking down and seeing a teacher's fingers get bitten off by a trespasser. Then imagine seeing that teacher literally eat another teacher. Now imagine rushing back into school to get your ex-love and her boyfriend to save them, all while fighting "not zombies". You try to call for help, but the lines are busy because of emergencies all over town. When you finally get to a television to find out what is going on, you learn that this nightmare is happening everywhere.Imagine all that, and you would have the beginning of Highschool of the Dead. In a new world of surviving "them", Takashi Komuro and a group of unlikely allies must learn to adapt and change so they can survive, but will they like what they become? This manga, written by Daisuke Sato and drawn by Shouji Sato (no relation), is filled with monsters both living and nonliving, loads of guns, and big breasts on nearly every woman who is old enough to have them.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })An anime adaptation by Madhouse* with assistance from Asahi Production and Dogakobo aired during the summer of 2010 under the direction of Tetsurō Araki, who also directed Death Note for Madhouse, and would later direct Guilty Crown for Production I.G, and Attack on Titan and Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress for WIT Studio. The anime was licensed and dubbed by Sentai Filmworks in 2011, premiered on The Anime Network, and even streamed on VIZ Media's Neon Alley service for a while.In March 2011, the manga was put on hiatus; it had fallen into Schedule Slips before, but Chapter 29 was the final nail, as it concluded the number of chapters needed for Volume 7. Reasons for the hiatus are scarce: Daisuke Sato doesn't seem to have been writing any other manga series at the moment, but Shouji Sato was still seen working on Triage X, a series that he produces by himself. Shouji was supposedly also taking his time with research on weapons, vehicles, and so on for future HOTD chapters. He even colored all seven volumes of HOTD during the hiatus. In April 2013, the HOTD team released the manga's 30th chapter, then put the series back on hiatus. Almost four years later, on March 22 2017, Daisuke Satō tragically passed away from heart disease. Shouji Sato later confirmed they would not be continuing the series, leaving it understandably Cut Short.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })This series has a character sheet and a shout out page. Please list character tropes on the character sheet. | |

The "Drifters of the Dead" is a 15 min. exercise in seeing just how much skin they could reveal, how much they could get away with having the characters do, and how much of it they could get away with showing - without actually crossing 'the line'. And did it by saying most of it didn't really happen. | |

No Bikes in the Apocalypse: Averted. The group comes up with using bycicles while they were stationed in a mall along a group of survivors. For the most part it works, as they decide to have Alice (who was the fastest) to survey the road ahead to warn the others about herds ahead. Then they stop using the bycycles after Alice fell from her bike and almost got caught. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: In Chapter 9, while trying to drive through a zombie horde, Shizuka cries out "I'm not supposed to be this kind of character!"

Takashi lost out to his best friend, Hisashi, after Rei broke up with him, though she still harbored feelings for Takashi. The matter wound up being settled when Hisashi was bitten and became one of "them"; leaving Takashi no choice but to put him out of his misery, thus ending the triangle. | |

Not the Intended Use: Played for Laughs at Hirano's expense, when he impresses Saya and Shizuka by showing that condoms can be placed over gun barrels to help keep them dry in rain. Shizuka remarks that she hadn't known they could be used 'that way', which prompts Alice to ask Hirano what condoms are supposed to be used for... in front of Saya. Cue Hirano tearfully admitting he'd never used one before because they're "meant for adults". | |

Chekhov's Gun: Way, way back in the high school, Saya and Hirano snatched a toolbox from one of the workshops. When they finally reach the police station, Saya lends Hirano one of the tools from that toolbox, a hand-powered drill. He uses it to break into the armory. Mad the mechanic in the manga explained that the buggy was capable of water transportation but suggested sticking to the riverbanks or cutting into the nearby park. Takashi and Saeko ended up driving the buggy into the riverbank and ditched it in the park. | |

Blade on a Stick: 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. Rei's mother Kiriko uses an actual spear that she took from her husband's antique collection at home. | |

Apathetic Clerk: In episode 3 (Chapter 3 of the manga) there is a scene with a convenience store clerk standing behind the counter in an open-mouthed daze, somehow apparently oblivious to all the chaos currently happening while a zombie shuffles across the road towards him until it is hit by the bus the protagonists are driving. The clerk doesn't even bother to turn his head or even notice it all happening a few feet away from him. | |

Kissing Under the Influence | |
Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_2fa60cdd | comment |
Kissing Under the Influence: In the OVA, most of the group hook up with each other after getting high on the fumes of burning hydrangeas. Rei and Saeko make out while thinking that the other is Takashi, and Saya and Shizuku get rather cozy while hallucinating that the other is Saya's mother and Rika, respectively. Meanwhile, Hirano hallucinates that he's at a Vietnam War protest and dry-humps a broom, and Takashi fends off four of them in his sleep while thinking that they are the four girls. | |

Apologetic Attacker: The household survivor who tearfully said sorry over and over as he stabbed Alice's father, leaving him for dead and abandoning Alice to the zombies. Laser-Guided Karma: ...and now they're stuck in a house with the horde right outside, while the team that "remembered they were human beings" escapes with a carful of supplies. | |

Teens Are Monsters | |
Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_38d12399 | comment |
Teens Are Monsters: Oh boy, where do we begin? Nearly all of the protagonists have their issues: Takashi admits that a part of him enjoys the lawlessness of the post-apocalyptic world. He also seems disturbed by the fact that he murdered his best friend - partially as a Mercy Kill, partially out of jealousy for Rei - and doesn't seem too bothered by it. He also has very little issue with wounding a living human (a violent nutjob who tried to kidnap Rei, sure, but still a living person nonetheless) and using him as bait. Saeko's extreme Blood Knight tendencies. Several times, when she fights, she revels in orgasmic pleasure. Kohta is so thoroughly traumatized through years of bullying that he has no qualms with murdering the living people who made his life hell. The instances where his darker side comes out are all prime Nightmare Fuel. Misuzu quickly turns on her BFF, Toshimi, when zombies attack her, and abandons her "friend" to a brutal end to save her own sorry ass. | |

First-Name Basis: Saeko starts calling Takashi by his first name, much to Rei's chagrin. Saya wants Takashi to call her by her first name, but he usually doesn't manage it. During the clinic raid, Asami asks Kohta to call her by her first name. Beginning in chapter 28, Saya and Hirano now address each other by their first names. Hirano even drops the "san" honorific and Saya's shown to be okay with it. | |

Honor Before Reason: Lampshaded when the team raids a hospital to acquire plasma for a dying old woman. They point out that since the woman needs regular blood transfusions and they can only bring back enough usable plasma for one, they are essentially risking all their lives to buy her an extra week or two at the most. One of them does in fact die during the raid. As if that weren't already messed up, the old couple commits suicide a short time later. Played triumphantly straight when our heroes brave a veritable horde of "them" to save one little girl... and win. | |

Adult Fear: The first couple episodes are particularly brutal. Scores of teenagers are simply massacred in some of the most horrific ways imaginable with no pathos whatsoever. Imagine you were an adult survivor of whatever zombie attack hit your office, you're able to get home and you learn that your 15-year-old daughters' high school was ravaged. Your worst fears are confirmed when you learn she died slowly in agonizing pain, and not only did she come back to murder others, she was killed AGAIN by friends who knew her since grade school; shedding not one tear or giving not even the slightest shit about killing her again. Yeah. Kids in the first couple episodes are livestock. | |

Not Using the "Z" Word: "Them" is the word used for the undead in the story. An early character specifically says that they can't call them "zombies" or "the undead" because then it would be too much like, well, a fictional story. Played straight in the dub but there are a few slips. | |

Black and Grey Morality: The kids are forced to drive without a license, use guns, act strongly as individuals, rely on themselves instead of authority figures or the government and steal things to survive. It doesn't seem that bad from an American point of view, until you remember that this story takes place in Japan. Takashi's narration actually makes reference to this several times, usually in the form of "It had been just half a day, and we had already changed this much." Takashi shoots a would-be mugger/rapist, but leaves him alive so he can be bait to draw off any zombies in the area. | |

Zombie Apocalypse | |
Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_60414102 | comment |
Zombie Apocalypse: This story seems to by and large follow the Romero rules, but "they" have a very strong grip. Also the zombies start slow, but if they hear a sound nearby they can move quicker. The fact that it's played as realistically as possible is also notable. The protagonists test and figure out that "they" must find things through vibrations. No circulation also means that in Japan's humid weather, the dead will probably decompose to the point of uselessness in a little under a month. Nobody has a clue how the dead are still capable of moving, though. | |

The mall arc introduced the none-too-subtle triangle between Kohta, Saya, and Asami, though Saya had decided to step aside so Kohta and Asami could be together, and even suggested taking her with them. Until Asami got taken out of the picture. | |

Author Appeal | |
Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_6627695f | comment |
Author Appeal: The work of the manga artist make his preference for larger breasts pretty clear. The only difference with this work is just how blatant it is. Almost every female on the page past puberty sports at least a D-cup. The rerelease of the manga in full color can be seen as this too, Shouji Sato is known for making many of his works in full color, likewise the colored version of the series is also made by him. Daisuke Sato is a well-known military otaku, having even written a number of straight-out wargames, and this is plainly obvious here. There's also the overt favoritism displayed for the Japanese far right. See YMMV for more. | |

Dying as Yourself: A major theme in this series that has cost many characters their lives. A student named Kazu Ishii who is protecting Shizuka gets bitten from behind by zombies breaking through the windows, and Saeko offers to kill him before he turns. With a smile on his face, he replies "Please do it." Hiro Tamaru gets one by Asami's hands after getting caught in the hole at the clinic. Asami herself gets one with a little help from Hirano. | |

Driven to Suicide: The old couple in the mall, though it seems more like Better to Die than Be Killed. The situation did seem hopeless and with the old woman's sickness... It would have been nice if they had been so kind as to do it before Tamaru died getting plasma for her, though. There was also the gym teacher early on, who was actually doing a good job dispatching zombies with his hand-to-hand skills before jumping from the roof, convinced that there was no way it could be real and that all he needed to do was wake up. The police officer at the bridge placed his pistol to his head after the situation gets out of control and he gives the final order to exterminate everyone. Even came complete with a Fatal Family Photo. | |

"Shut Up" Kiss | |
Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_6eeba1f2 | comment |
Rei has just as much ship tease with Takashi, if not moreso. In chapter 6, she gives him a "Shut Up" Kiss when he loses his patience with her for always reminding him of Hisashi and tells her to accept the fact that Hisashi was dead. Which surprises Takashi and causes him to get an erection. And, later while they're at Saya's parents home, she admits to being in love with him and says she couldn't go on if he ever fell in love with another girl, before kissing him again. | |

No One Gets Left Behind | |
Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_7969f21e | comment |
No One Gets Left Behind: A major recurring theme. Some characters die trying to save others, while some kick them to the ground. Subverted with the Misuzu and Toshimi in the beginning. When Toshimi's leg gets caught by "them" on the stairs, Misuzu kicks her and abandons her to die, in a desperate attempt to save herself. But her screams attracted "them", so they both die anyway. Also subverted with Shidou kicking in one student's face, who'd been asking for help after twisting his ankle. Then he left him to die, believing him to be unfit for survival in their new world. Played Straight when Takashi told Shizuka to wait for Shidou and his group of students to get on the bus, despite Rei's insistence that they should leave them behind. She was right, they should've. In chapter 7, Hirano disregards the "no shooting" agreement in order to keep Alice safe, long enough for Takashi to get to her. During their escape from the mall (chapter 25), the group takes the time to escort one of the mall survivors to the rooftop where the others are. Shimadanote the mall survivor, who had tried to rape Shizuka and Asami split off from Takashi's group and dies while saving the kid responsible for letting "them" into the mall. The JSDF arrive in time to save the remaining mall survivors, after gunning down the advancing horde. After Kohta suffered a Heroic BSoD from having to kill Asami, he nearly breaks off from the group to suicidally take down as many zombies as he could until Shizuka talks him out of it. | |

I Reject Your Reality: With the world around them suddenly changing for the worse in less than a day, many people in Tokonosu City simply refuse to acknowledge the existence or consequences of a Zombie Apocalypse. Instead, these people see "them" as simply victims of an unknown epidemic and treat anyone who kill "them" as violent, bloodthirsty maniacs. Reasons for this selfish attitude include the desperate need to save infected loved ones and the desperate hope to restore social normalcy as soon as possible, at any cost. When their delusions are shattered, these people often go insane, usually while being devoured by "them". | |

Reckless Gun Usage: This occurs somewhat often due to the main characters being perfectly normal high school students (in Japan) during a Zombie Apocalypse. However, since there's a resident gun otaku, their errors are quickly pointed out and Gun Safety is properly followed... eventually. Except in the anime's infamous "boob dodge" sequence where Takashi repeatedly narrowly avoids gunning down Saeko instead of the zombies. | |

Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_9c6ba43a | comment |
The kids are forced to drive without a license, use guns, act strongly as individuals, rely on themselves instead of authority figures or the government and steal things to survive. It doesn't seem that bad from an American point of view, until you remember that this story takes place in Japan. Takashi's narration actually makes reference to this several times, usually in the form of "It had been just half a day, and we had already changed this much." | |

Sexy Discretion Shot | |
Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_a3912d0e | comment |
Sexy Discretion Shot: Used once in the manga and anime respectively: During the bath scene in chapter 6, Rei gropes Shizuka's boobs to see if they're real, due to 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. Midway into the "Drifters of the Dead" OVA special, Saeko and Takashi flee to a secluded area of the island in an attempt to escape the effects of hallucinogenic fumes. While they're alone, they begin making out with Takashi lying on top of her. From there, the camera pans downward until only their lower legs remain in the frame, stopping just as Saeko spreads her legs for him, with her barefoot resting next to her discarded bikini bottom. The scene then Fades To Black. Sadly, it was all in Takashi's head, as the real Saeko and the others find him still hallucinating while surrounded by a group of bikini-clad zombies. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: The male Phys-ed teacher who saw and heard one of "them" shuffle up to and thrash against the locked and barred front gate then responded by reaching through the bars, and turned away to tell his female companion that he planned on "teaching him a lesson." Lots of students died needlessly thanks to his utter idiocy, and the unbelievably slow reaction of the rest of the staff. If Takashi hadn't been on the roof playing hooky, the entire school might have been lost. The people who were utterly convinced that the dead were just people with a disease looking for help and that everyone else was just bloodthirsty maniacs. At the international level, the US, China, and Russia decided that a Zombie Apocalypse would be a great backdrop for open nuclear combat. Against each other, that is, not the zombies. They probably killed a good deal of zombies too, but they ended up paralyzing parts of Japan with an EMP in the process. The small band of punks who attempted to cross the bridge knowing full well that it was heavily guarded by officers in full riot gear that would open fire on anyone who dared to defy them. They got washed out for their trouble. The Nietzsche Wannabe mall survivor who attempted to knife several zombies but did not even scratch one before getting swarmed and devoured. The dumbest part was that Shizuka pointed out that his knife wound was not even critical, making his actions senseless. Shizuka qualifies for this, by taking her time to gather supplies while there was a horde of zombies right outside, breaking through the windows. Which ends up costing Ishii his life, when he'd been urging her to leave. Then she stands idly by asking him his name while he's being Eaten Alive. A special mention to the would be mugger who tried to rape Rei, OUTSIDE, in the middle of a Zombie Apocalypse. You know where the zombies are going to most likely to hear and then eat you. This idea is not only despicable but beyond stupid. Even if Takashi had not been there, the mugger's actions would have gotten both, him and Rei killed. Good thing Takashi rescued her, shot the guy, and left him alive to be zombie bait. For this mugger, he was more like Too Crazy To Live. Both Takashi and the mugger agree that he's gone insane due to the zombie outbreak. | |

I Cannot Self-Terminate: Some survivors who have been bitten have to be mercy killed by others. Justified - if Hisashi's and Ishii's (nurse's office student) deaths were any indication, the zombie bites would have weakened them enough that they would not be able to kill themselves and would thus need outside help, and in some cases, the turn is so fast, they don't even get the chance to ask. | |

Love Triangle | |
Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_b7e0c5ff | comment |
Love Triangle: Takashi lost out to his best friend, Hisashi, after Rei broke up with him, though she still harbored feelings for Takashi. The matter wound up being settled when Hisashi was bitten and became one of "them"; leaving Takashi no choice but to put him out of his misery, thus ending the triangle. Takashi soon found himself in another triangle, this time, between Rei and Saeko. It's made more explicit in the anime, particularly in regards to the additional amounts of Ship Tease between him and Saeko, which isn't present in the manga. The mall arc introduced the none-too-subtle triangle between Kohta, Saya, and Asami, though Saya had decided to step aside so Kohta and Asami could be together, and even suggested taking her with them. Until Asami got taken out of the picture. | |

Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_b8d93317 | comment |
12-Episode Anime: The anime only goes up to the twelve count due to the series being released as a monthly manga (though it did have two OVAs). If it gets another season remains to be seen, though due to it's very extended hiatus it likely won't be for a long while... if ever. | |

Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_bda2a088 | comment |
Did They or Didn't They?: Invoked by Episode 9 of the anime. This and the ending of Episode 8 are where the anime deviated from the original manga (in the manga, these events happened after the group escaped from the Takagi compound, not before they got there). The "Shut Up" Kiss between Takashi and Saeko was not shown in the manga, if it had happened at all. | |

Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_c660bc15 | comment |
Fan Disservice: There are even several accounts where female zombies give a Full-Frontal Assault. Shidou turns the protagonist's original escape vehicle into a roving sex cult, by encouraging free love between high schoolers. Panty Shots and huge bouncing breasts on a girl who's being eaten alive by zombies can seriously mess with your mind. Any panty shots from zombies. In chapter 29, Saya unintentionally shoots a female zombie through the breasts. There's official art of Rei and Shizuka with their blouses torn, to where they're nearly topless... while covered in blood. In the "Drifters of the Dead" OVA, Kohta wears a girls' school swimsuit. | |

Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!: After Hirano suffers a Heroic BSoD from having to kill Asami, Shizuka steps up to break him out of it. Saya had also given him a bright slap immediately prior to that which also counts. Saya got a similar one from her mother right before both her parents went to hold off the horde. In the OVA, Takashi gave Saya a bright slap when she not-so-subtly came on to him, but being under the influence of the funky smoke, it only caused her to swoon over him even more. | |

Shizuka qualifies for this, by taking her time to gather supplies while there was a horde of zombies right outside, breaking through the windows. Which ends up costing Ishii his life, when he'd been urging her to leave. Then she stands idly by asking him his name while he's being Eaten Alive. | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: How brazen can a show get? It seemed that the animators decided to see for themselves: Starting with the bath scene in episode 6, during which, they made it seem like Rei was banging Shizuka doggy-style, while the other girls were present. Episode 8 had Saeko dodge two shots from a high-calibur sniper rifle. The first of which passes directly between her legs in Bullet Time (complete with a gratuitous zoom-in on her panty covered crotch), while her breasts dodge the second shot independently of each other! The "Drifters of the Dead" is a 15 min. exercise in seeing just how much skin they could reveal, how much they could get away with having the characters do, and how much of it they could get away with showing - without actually crossing 'the line'. And did it by saying most of it didn't really happen. | |

Harbinger of Impending Doom: Two notable examples in the franchise. In the anime, at least, at the start of the story, one of "them" is trapped just outside the school gate, trying to smash his way in, and of the two teachers that stumble upon the scene, one of them reaches through the bars, to predicable results. Then there's Shido. Every time he shows up, the audience can be sure things are soon going to go to hell in a hurry. | |

Ship Tease | |
Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_dcb9c541 | comment |
Ship Tease: Seeing as they're a group of highschool kids in the midst of a Zombie Apocalypse, it's only natural that they'd develop UST, since any of them could die at any moment. Which isn't to say their feelings for each other aren't genuine. Takashi and Saeko get a lot of screentime together, especially in the anime. They're even forced to separate from the rest of the group twice, during which, it's made obvious that there's an attraction. There's even an instance of Did They or Didn't They?, much later. Rei has just as much ship tease with Takashi, if not moreso. In chapter 6, she gives him a "Shut Up" Kiss when he loses his patience with her for always reminding him of Hisashi and tells her to accept the fact that Hisashi was dead. Which surprises Takashi and causes him to get an erection. And, later while they're at Saya's parents home, she admits to being in love with him and says she couldn't go on if he ever fell in love with another girl, before kissing him again. There's also ample amounts tease between Hirano and Saya. Such as the scene in chapter 7 where Saya was dreaming about Hirano. There was also the scene at her parents' house where she made it a point to cover Hirano's eyes to keep him (rather than Takashi) from ogling her mother. Hirano even won her father's approval, when he told Hirano that he was entrusting Saya to him. And chapter 28 lays it on thick, with Saya admitting to watching Hirano in order to become more like him. Which leads to a tender moment where they exchange guns; causing Alice to wave a pair of flags while the others smile knowingly. | |

Updated Re-release | |
Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_df1793de | comment |
Updated Re-release: 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. | |

Male Gaze | |
Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_dfb71617 | comment |
Male Gaze: Regardless whether it's the manga, or the anime, you'll be seeing so many close-ups of boobs, ass, panty shots, and camel toe, that if we noted even half the times it happens, it'd need its own page. If that wasn't clear enough, here it is condensed in amv fashion. | |

Obligatory Swearing | |
Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_e292f761 | comment |
Obligatory Swearing: The countries in which the manga received a mature rating, decided to "prove" the rating by having the main characters swear more often, and of course by spewing the strong ones. | |

Dub Name Change | |
Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: Alice's name in the dub is "Arisu", as in "Ar-Ri-Sue" even though her name is written and translated as "Alice" in the manga. Although in "Drifters Of The Dead" Dub. Her name is now said "Alice" which is actually how her name should be pronounce instead of "Arisu". | |

We Need a Distraction | |
Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_e43b42ea | comment |
We Need Some Zombie Bait: A morbid example with Takashi wounding a thug at the gas station and leaving him for dead. His screams of pain attracted the zombie horde, allowing Takashi and Rei to escape with little notice. On a less grotesque note, Takashi and Saeko used the prototype buggy to lure some zombies away from the rest of the group and into the river, eventually ditching it in the park's water fountain. In Episode 8 of the anime, Takashi and Saeko attempted this by making noise to draw attention away from the others. Unfortunately, they were too far away to distract any of the zombies. Then they get separated from the others and have to find an alternate route to Saya's house. Asami and Alice made excellent use of fireworks. Asami started yelling at Kohta to draw as many zombies to her position as possible, leaving Kohta to finish her off. | |

Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_e96e7845 | comment |
Ramp Jump: Done a couple times with Takashi on the bike. The first time occurred at the bridge where he and Rei reunited with the others. The second time occurred when he went off to save Alice. Both times involved use of improvised ramps and abuse of Slo-Mo Big Air. A similar instance happens in episode 3 when the minibus busts down the gates of the high school and catches some air as a result. | |

No Ending/And the Adventure Continues: The anime ends with the main characters escaping and continuing the search for their parents. And with the Mangaka's passing in 2017, the manga is put to an indefinite hold: Chapter 30 has the characters are about to meet a group of survivors at a nearby elementary school and Minami is redeployed into Japan's main land to stay with them. | |

Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: Everybody gets a turn, it seems. Outside of the main cast, the JSDF actually gets one rescuing a trio of side characters. The most purely heroic of which being in Chapter 7 of the manga and Episode 7 of the anime when they unhesitatingly rush out of a secure hideout to rescue a little girl at considerable personal risk, a turning point for the group. | |

Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_ece6f910 | comment |
Moment Killer: Usually done by Saya. She lampshades this in Chapter 28 where she promises not to ruin the hug between Takashi and Rei upon finding the possibility that Rei's father may still be alive. In the same chapter, Takashi is the one to kill off the moment between Kohta and Saya when Saya briefly lets her deredere side slip to him. | |

Mercy Kill | |
Highschool of the Dead (Manga) / int_f3626b09 | comment |
Takashi admits that a part of him enjoys the lawlessness of the post-apocalyptic world. He also seems disturbed by the fact that he murdered his best friend - partially as a Mercy Kill, partially out of jealousy for Rei - and doesn't seem too bothered by it. He also has very little issue with wounding a living human (a violent nutjob who tried to kidnap Rei, sure, but still a living person nonetheless) and using him as bait. | |

Shown Their Work: The guns are amazingly detailed, and are shown to have actual limitations. Kohta Hirano also makes sure that everyone who even touches one follows strict gun safety, as American gun enthusiasts are generally taught to do. The author shows a decent understanding of how the American government works, although that's a bit more subtle. | |
