| Sankarea (Manga) | comment |
Sankarea is a manga by Mitsuru Hattori, the author of Kenko Zenrakei Suieibu Umisho. It ran in Bessatsu Shonen Magazine from 2009 to 2014.In the vast ocean of manga, there are those about girlfriends, there are those about Magical Girlfriends... and then there's Sankarea, a romantic comedy about... a zombie girlfriend.Chihiro Furuya is a high school student with a fascination for zombies; movies, books, games, plushies... To revive his cat, Babu, who died a few days ago in an accident, he's been trying to make a "resurrection" (read: zombification) potion in an abandoned building in the past few days. Incidentally, there's another person who's been visiting the area: Rea, a girl from a wealthy family and an idol to everybody in the neighborhood, who lives under the shadow of an oppressive father. After finding out what Chihiro's been trying to make, she helps him with the potion while slipping out a mention that she'd also like to die and be reborn.After Rea's father finds out what she's been doing, he attempts to confine her to their mansion for the rest of her life, and sends his personal guard to deal with Chihiro. In the middle of the scuffle, she falls off a cliff and dies impaled by a tree... after drinking the zombification potion the night before, in an attempt to poison herself out of despair.An anime adaptation aired as part of the spring 2012 season (licensed by Funimation). | |

Feel No Pain | |
| Sankarea (Manga) / int_19211122 | comment |
Feel No Pain: Zombies can't feel pain or temperature due to those sensory neurons being dead. This also occurs to any living person who ingests the zombification drug, although the effects only last while the poison remains in their system. | |

The Sociopath | |
| Sankarea (Manga) / int_19851b86 | comment |
The Sociopath: Derin's father Kuramiya. He doesn't care about his daughter at all, removes a chunk of Rea's brain For Science! specifically in order to find out how to bring zombies back to life, and tried to have Chihiro killed because he didn't need him anymore. For bonus points, he removed the "batteries" (read: hearts) from "toys" (read: animals) for fun as a child and is obsessed with zombies because he accidentally murdered his next-door neighbor Rosalie and fell in love with her corpse. Furthermore, when Darin finally turns on him, he shoots her and dismisses her as not worthy of being his daughter. | |

Nightmare Fetishist | |
| Sankarea (Manga) / int_2969dda7 | comment |
Nightmare Fetishist: Chihiro, Chihiro, Chihiro. His dream-girl whom he wants to share his first kiss with? — A zombie girl. He also mentioned his ideal girlfriend as early as Chapter 1: Zombies gain a nightmare fetish as they decay as they begin to connect love and hunger together, leading to Rea thinking the idea of eating Chihiro to be romantic and judging by the look on her face, erotic. Kuramiya is also just as equally obsessed with zombies for research, if not more than Chihiro. As of the most recent chapter it is clear that he is much worse as he makes out with the dead (as in not living-dead) body of a girl he accidentally shot and killed. | |

Skewed Priorities | |
| Sankarea (Manga) / int_3d2c6d30 | comment |
Skewed Priorities: Rea tends to take odd things away from important discussions. For instance, when Darin tells her about the next step in the zombie process, Rea is more hung up on the fact that Darin let slip that she was only 14 at the same time. Also, while at ZOMA, she's less fascinated in the fact that she's a completely unheard of type of zombie and more in the fact that they're on vacation in the Caribbean. | |

Her father's obsession with Rea and her "purity" gets really creepy when it's revealed right at the beginning that he takes nude photos of her every year "to measure her growth" (he's got a whole room full of them framed on the walls). His actions stem from the fact that her real mother died giving birth to her. | |

Not Distracted by the Sexy: Chihiro, clearly shown when Ranko tries to get his attention most of the time barely wearing anything. Also Rea's father, to the point where he would not even bat an eye to the maids who were there to be his potential wives. This lead most of the maids to believe that he did not have any interest in women, but really it's more like he has a very unhealthy case of Single-Target Sexuality. | |

Parental Incest | |
| Sankarea (Manga) / int_606244c2 | comment |
Parental Incest: Played with with Rea's father. He takes pictures of her naked on her birthday, collapses in the bathtub with countless images of his daughter around him, wanted to kill a boy for simply being near his daughter and neglects his wife (his current wife who he married after Rea's birth mother died) completely. You can pretty much list everything here besides any actual intercourse and expect him to have done it. Heavily motivated by the fact that she looks just like her dead mother who was the only person he was ever attracted to. Presumably if she was still alive he would be less obsessive about Rea. Though implications seem to be that he's done everything except actual intercourse. (Whether this is due to him wanting her to stay "pure", waiting for her to get older, or Even Evil Has Standards is up for debate.) | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Sankarea (Manga) / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: The zombification potion is made from poisonous plants. Rea steals some, and after her father bars her from ever leaving her house again, drinks it. Unfortunately, being made into the potion detoxifies it. Fortunately, the effect lingers enough to bring her back when she does die. Also, Ranko, in an emotional fit, takes zombification drugs in an effort to get Chihiro to like her. Fortunately, the drugs were harmless (they were actually sleeping pills being kept in the zombie-drug bottle), and Ranko realizes that Chihiro would have loved Rea regardless of whether Rea was a zombie or not. | |

Babies Ever After | |
| Sankarea (Manga) / int_6d9bc945 | comment |
Babies Ever After: Chapter 56.1 features Tama and Rai, a younger brother and older sister who are the grandchildren of one of the female main characters, delivering hydrangea leaves to a white-haired Rea, who's become an urban legend of sorts. It's deliberately not stated exactly who their grandparents are; the only hints being Tama's interest in zombies, the fact that they mention a grandmother who told them the legend related to Rea, and the fact that they look like both Chihiro and his sister, leaving it very likely that one of them is their grandparent. | |

But Not Too Foreign | |
| Sankarea (Manga) / int_6f66bef7 | comment |
But Not Too Foreign: Implied, since Chihiro's grandfather is named Boyle, which is definitely not a Japanese name. A flashback in chapter 47 shows that he's been living in Japan for his entire life going back to the Meiji era, which leaves the possibility that "Boyle" is an alias he used for his work. | |

Ranko is the character's actual name. Wanko is her nickname. Episode 1 has Chihiro call her Wanko, but then in narration introduce her as Ranko. | |

| Sankarea (Manga) / int_8ba9512b | comment |
Our Zombies Are Different: This one's cute. Aside from that, they keep their full original personalities and intelligence, and are exceptionally strong. Unfortunately, unless preserved, they rot. Unlike Return of the Living Dead, they don't seem to feel any pain from it. Although as of the chapter 13 it's been revealed this is just Rea's "fresh stage" and in about a week she's going to be turned into a "normal" zombie. She went into the Hunger State and couldn't separate her feelings from her hunger and tried to eat Chihiro, but she snapped out of it. In chapter 27 it's discovered that Rea is a new kind of zombie, as she is the first recorded zombie to have consumed the resurrection drug while still alive. | |

Kissing Cousins: Ranko has an obvious crush on Chihiro. Being the male lead in a romantic comedy series, he's totally oblivious to it. Chihiro's father, on the other hand, seems to support the idea of having them married. Did we mention that he's a priest? In #9, Ranko introduces herself to Rea as Chihiro's cousin and fiancée. They kiss. | |

Major Injury Under Reaction: After being stabbed through the chest by Rea's dad, Chihiro takes the time to closely examine Rea in the maid outfit, perving out and circling her like a shark... With the sword sticking out of his chest the whole time. A common result of being exposed to the zombification potion- in addition to super strength, it makes the person unable to feel pain. | |

| Sankarea (Manga) / int_a8c6a317 | comment |
Super Strength: Rea. According to Chihiro, it could be because the limiter in her brain is gone because she's dead. Kuramiya. Or at least, super jumping ability. She's human, but giving yourself zombie poison also removes that brain limiter, similar to what happened to Chihiro during his fight with Rea's father. Babu the cat has enough strength to kill a large fox with only a few hits. Chihiro also gets brief bouts of this whenever he's bitten by a zombie, since the injection of small amounts of the poison into his system turns him into a half-zombie. | |

Apparently, he was the one who developed the resurrection potion. Probably a zombie himself, as he's able to eat hydrangea leaves. Another theory for being able to eat hydrangea is that Chihiro's grandfather had been exposed to amounts of zombie potion that far exceed the lethal dosage. Darin says that it's what made him senile. | |

Came Back Wrong: The zombification process is nowhere near perfect, and much of the plot is focused around solving these problems. | |

Really Gets Around | |
| Sankarea (Manga) / int_bf1255fa | comment |
Really Gets Around: It is suggested by the maids that Aria often sleeps with men other than her husband. This cannot be confirmed, as she is heavily drunk and looks like sex deprived as she tries to seduces Chihiro but utterly fails and starts crying, this is because her husband ignores her and also never slept with her in 13 years of marriage. She admits to Chihiro that she has not been touched in a long time, but that does not mean that she has not slept with other men. | |

Irony | |
| Sankarea (Manga) / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: At the end of #6, Chihiro gets permission to let Rea live openly in their house. The catch? Their dad is a priest, so their house is technically a shrine. In Hattori's words, "enshrining a zombie". This is just one of many jokes about life and death. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| Sankarea (Manga) / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: Rea's father is so obsessed with her because she resembles her dead mother, who her father loved very much. The reason Chihiro loves zombies (and zombie girls in particular) is because his mother was a zombie, and he remembers her very fondly. | |

Horror Hunger | |
| Sankarea (Manga) / int_cf7b362 | comment |
Horror Hunger: Subverted. It initially looks like Rea wants human flesh. She actually eats hydrangea leaves. (Hydrangea is the poisonous plant used in the reanimation potion, and she needs the poison to stay undead.) It's back. As the zombie progresses to the next stage of zombie-hood, their ability to differentiate between affection, lust, and hunger disappears, and Rea states that the thought of eating someone she loves is romantic... It's back yet again. At the final page of Chapter 16 Rea tries to eat Chihiro and bites him on the neck. Taken to its final stages by the end of the story. Rea finally eats Chihiro's Heart. Really. Chapter 55. | |

Zombies gain a nightmare fetish as they decay as they begin to connect love and hunger together, leading to Rea thinking the idea of eating Chihiro to be romantic and judging by the look on her face, erotic. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Chihiro's sister is quite calm at the sight of their naked grandpa running around in the house. Then again, Grandpa's senile, so this has probably happened before. People get used to the idea of Rea being a zombie really fast. | |

Cat Smile: Chihiro has a cat face very often, since his hair itself is shaped like a cat's head. Which also ties into the "Cat & Dog" theme with his cousin Wanko note "Wan" is Japanese onomatopoeia for a dog's bark.. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending: Between getting stabbed, bitten, poisoned, and eventually having his heart eaten out of his chest, Chihiro certainly earns the right to be with Rea by the end of the story.

Brick Joke: Otoki, Jogorou's second wife from the Meiji era, uses Japanese comedian Dandy Sakano's catch phrase of "Gets" when she is first thawed out by Chihiro... which may seem odd since he's from the end of the 20th century, until Otoki's story reaches the point where she's briefly thawed out in the story's recent past and inquires what is popular. Jogorou responds by using said catchphrase and mannerisms. | |
