christ, just caught up with the show from episode 4 up. Now I'm bummed. :(

e: there was some discussion a few pages back on how effective a zombie plague is as a bioweapon. From a "kill em all" perspective it's not that great - as people said, a superflue could kill many more people. But it's much more suitable as a weapon of (very dirty) war. It's possible to contain at some cost, and the targeted nation will be forced to pour resources and contain it - so it's unlikely that the attacker would get hit by the epidemic. Beyond being costly, containment is also demoralizing as all hell. So if you want to force an enemy nation to surrender, this type of terror weapon works on many different levels. But this weapon is a war crime of a level so high, reprisals would flow.

The fact that it's a deliberate instead of accidental bioweapon makes a few if the odder things about these zombies make sense, like the fact that they're relatively unmolested (the zombies, not the girls). In a 'normal' zombie apocalypse the things tend to rip apart their victims or tear off huge chunks as they feed. These don't do that, as far as we can tell they bite once, deep enough to spread the plague, then let go. I mean, Megu is like twice the size of any of them, if she wanted to bite a girl to death that's what would have happened, instead there's one bite.

Now if the manga contradicts any of this I'd like to know, because I can see them toning things down for television, but otherwise this is the closest thing to a bloodless zombie plague you'd get right now.

That's about as bad as it gets though, IIRC. No crawling torsos.

I won't be surprised if just as Mii returns to the room with the zombie curing medicine, she finds Rii holding her bloodied knife standing over Kurumi's decapitated body.

There's at least one shot in the manga with a crawling torso, during the helicopter crash.

I guess we know two things:

Megu-nee has midichlorians and can appear to force users after freed from this mortal coil.
Yuki is force sensitive but instead of shooting lightning bolts from her hand or throwing the students with force grip she just communes with the dead.

Also, I can't wait for the buddy hijinks of shovel-sempai and baseball bat-kun.

Man, i know that i'm easily manipulated by stories and i'm completely fine with that; i didn't actually expect to get quite as invested in this particular show though.

Yeah, the dog is poo poo and should have been let go at the very start buuuuuuut, he's also a living reminder of her now most likely dead best friend and it makes sense that she wouldn't want to let go.

Of course it does, one is the... actually, I'm not sure how two genderless inanimate objects are supposed to be romantically involved, although I think shovel might be a guy. We don't know about baseball bat, since Yuki hasn't dream-sequence married it to anyone yet.

It matters when used to ship people/objects together. The first one is the "top" and the second is the "bottom"

i mean if you put a baseball bat on top of a shovel it's not going to be very useful, it'll stop being able to dig and will be too heavy and awkward to use for the lack of combat benefits it would have

If they ended on that as a hook, that would be unbelievably cruel.
