Nuigulumar Z (ヌイグルマーZ)

Alright turn around

Ok!

Cute teddy bear!

Happy birthday

Thank you!

That's great.

Teddy bears are expensive. Luckily I found that one lying around outside.

Papa shhh!

What?

Nothing

Come on, blow out your candles

Ok?

Ready and...

Zombies! WHY!?

We've come to expose your fake happiness!

No matter how happy you are, you'll be one of us in seconds

That's just life!

Mama! Mama!

Someone save him!

Here

You were more worried about this little guy than yourself

That kindness is very beautiful

Cause he's my friend!

He's a very sincere bear

He looks cute and has the heart of a samurai

I'm sure he'll repay you for protecting him by protecting you

He's stretching!

He's yelling!

Little girl, I can talk too

And I will repay you as best I can!

Please save the teddy bear!

I was hoping you'd ask

Nuigulumar!

Nuigulumar Z

Thank you!

I've been searching for this little guy

He's my friend so I need to take him with me, sorry

That's ok

In exchange, I'll tell you how this world became full of zombies

It began 5 years ago in space

Far away, on the planet Domoho

A group of very small lifeforms escaped from the destruction of their planet

Searching for a new home, they arrived on Earth

Their cotton like forms descended upon the planet

Falling... like snow

Most of them fell into the ocean or onto the ground and disappeared

But their greatest warrior Dumava managed to survive

And drifted into a certain home

There he found the best place for him to live

Within a handmade teddy bear

A designer named Fuyuko Aiyukawa was making it for her daughter

Hey mama!

Don't surprise me like that!

Hey mama, what day is today?

Hm I don't know

It's my birthday!

Hey mama, what are you giving me?

You can't just directly ask like that

But

When we were still with dad with all the violence, there were never any presents

But since you got the divorce I've been wondering what kind of present you'd give me

What a selfish girl

Mama is that...?

So cute! A teddy bear!

Thank you mama!

You really do care about me

This is proof!

His face looks like it was punched, so I'll call him Punchy!

We'll never be apart!

At that moment, Kyoko's joy energized the warrior sleeping within

What is this feeling?

The energy from this girl needing me is awakening my cells

I lost my home and my purpose, but now I understand

I live to protect this princess

I swear on these button eyes!

PRINCESS!!!

Huh?

The cotton is still sticking out

What, so it wasn't done?

Sorry, I've been so busy

It's my first birthday with just us. You could have put me first

Sorry

Hey mama!

What is it?

You'll be here soon!?

Yeah yeah, that's right. I'm almost there. I know I know

Food? I just ate udon so I'm good

At that moment, with the worst timing a visitor came to Kyoko's house

Where are you now?

Hey mama, let's live with just to two of us

Now?

Thanks for waiting!

It's been a while sis!

Yumeko!

Sis?

You must be Kyoko

Thanks for letting me stay here!

Stay!? What's going on mama!?

Uhm that's...

I'm looking forward to staying with you

Ah! Coffee!

Dangerous!

Happy Birthday Kyoko

Ahhh oopsie

What did you do!?

Whoa a pretty dangerous human showed up

I ended up here, but where did Deparza go?

My best friend, Deparza!

Someone called out to me?

Could it be Dumuva?

You survived too?

What's with that getup?

Your parents'd be crying

It's a cosplay club. I hate it too

I betcha like this!

Stop! Help me!

Tony, c'mere

An old man with a stuffed animal?

You just said several keywords that should never be said to me

And you called me tiny. Take that BACK!!

I am the Knitted Vengeance Warrior, Charlie!

A monster!

Thank you for saving me!

I don't remember saving anyone

You will become my minion

Dumava

It seems we have taken different paths

This is the first step towards my ambition

Ugh why do I have to do homework on my birthday?

And an essay on my dreams. So lame

My dreams...

Until recently it was for papa who always bullied mama to get shot by tanks

But they got divorced so that kinda happened

Thank goodness

But that lolita woman

I don't want to spend a single second with her

Mr Tank, chase her out of my house!

At least give me my time with mama back

What?

What a cute teddy bear!

The couple little rough points make it even cuter

Hey, why are you cleaning in the middle of the night?

Sorry, I always used to do it that way at home

And that bear is my present!

The vacuum cleaner! I can't get it off!

Please turn it off! Turn it off!

You are way too clumsy!

What happened?

Hey mama, I don't want to live with that thing

You know my parents passed away recently right?

She has no other family

And I'm sure it will help having her around

They're totally black

Burnt toast at night?

Yumeko? More like Yume-ick-ko

I don't need an unfinished bear

Kyoko!

I'm sorry sis

I'll leave tomorrow

It's ok. I'm glad you came

She's going through a lot from the divorce and I can't help her on my own

I'm sure you'll be able to help her over time

I think the two of you are a bit similar

Really?

Yep. Your imaginative sides

I didn't think there was anyone like me in this world

...with some man.

There's no way that's true

That's just your lies

Isn't that just your guilty conscience talking?

Other than my sister who left home as soon as she could

No one in my family paid attention to me

I had no friends. I was always alone

Plus I never felt comfortable as a woman

I started wearing the boy's uniform to school

And I always just watched tokusatsu heroes

Heroes secretly fight against monsters to defend justice

I wanted to fight the lonely fight against darkness!

But as a woman I couldn't be a hero

I didn't want to be a tokusatsu heroine

The real me was just a clumsy girl

I just happened to read a Gothic Lolita magazine

And was shocked by the cute and incredible outfits that went beyond just 'clothes'

How elegant! How charming!

I instinctively knew what I wanted to wear, so I made it myself

Those were my battle clothes!

I had always walked in the shadows

But now I had discovered myself!

Good afternoon!

How is it?

What do you think?

But soon after my parents fell ill, and I went back to having no place of my own

In the end it was all a sweet dream

I can't get along with Kyoko either

I really am so powerless

You idiot!

The teddy bear talked!

That's right. A bunch of stuff happened and now I speak Japanese!

My movements are a bit awkward but never mind!

This is pretty hard work!
