ZOMBIE LAND SAGA (ゾンビランドサガ)

To a place where we'll feel the excitement!

Fantastic!

Just fall in love!

Just fall in love!

I'm Sakura Minamoto!

I'm starting my second year of high school today!

Usually, I'm kind of a klutz, and there are times when I don't think I've got it together...

But it isn't gonna be like that anymore!

1-48-52 Haneda Southwest, Suginami, Tokyo ZLS Corporation Inc. New Member Audition Submissions C/O Audition Office

I'm gonna be the girl I want to be!

That way, I know...

There are gonna be days full of thrills and excitement waiting for me!

I'm going now—

What do I do? What do I do?!

I made it...

I think I made it out.

Machida River

Saga Prefecture

Saga...?

Am I in Saga?

Hey, sweetheart, you can't be out this late!

Saga Police

What's the matter?

You looking to get arrested?

'Cuz I'll arrest you!

Personally, I want to go home. I'm soaked down to my underwear!

Officer, please, help!

Wha... you...

Are you oka—

Stay back!

What the hell are you?!

Wha?

A zombie?

What just happened?

What the hell?

Why am I—

I can't remember!

Not a thing!

What am I?!

You're Sakura Minamoto.

The guy from before...

You died ten years ago.

Say what?

But you're back again now, as a zombie.

Dead?

Zombie?

And from now on, as Zombie 1, you will work with your team to save Saga!

Um... I'm sorry. I have no idea what you're saying.

You'll figure it out soon, whether you want to or not.

Listen to me.

From now on, you need to do what I tell you.

If you do, there'll be no problem.

Why?

My name is Kotaro Tatsumi.

It's the strangest thing... He's...

I'm the man who will make you into an idol!

Why does he...

...have squid in his pocket?

Zombie Land Saga

Saga Prefecture

Okay, ladies, good morning!

I said good morning!

Good... mor... ning?

You need to mind your manners.

You can't get any respect without them.

Look at the others.

No one's acknowledging you.

Hey there, Romero.

Good job wrangling the girls again today.

Let's not feed dried squid to dogs

And so, here we are...

Let's work hard to make you into the greatest idols, starting today!

E-Excuse me...

Go ahead!

And might I say, Sakura, you're looking pretty healthy today.

I just... want to confirm something...

Bring it on. Hit me.

I'm... dead, right?

Sure are. You're Zombie 1, that's you.

I'm wondering... how I became a zombie...

Come on.

Haven't you seen a zombie movie before?

I have, for the record.

Well, there you go then.

That's it?

Does there have to be more to it?!

A little bit of this, a little bit of that, and bang, you're out of the grave, right?!

Isn't that all you really need for zombies?!

Is that all you wanted to ask?

No, well, I also...

Why am I going to be an idol?

To save Saga.

By being an idol?

That's right.

In this day and age, regional idols are becoming a thing of the past.

But because of that, the competition has died out as well.

You're all going to capitalize on that and save Saga,

which is itself on the verge of becoming a thing of the past.

And boom.

Zombie Land Saga Project

We call it the Zombie Land Saga Project, baby!

But... I don't even remember anything from when I was alive.

So asking me to be an idol or save Saga...

No need to worry.

The others have even more baggage than you.

Uh, and they are...?

Curious?

Well, yes...

I mean, this girl's bitten me thirteen times since this morning.

They're legends.

Legends?

That's right.

They're the legendary girls I have chosen and revived to save Saga.

And with you, they will form the ultimate team!
