What six survivors told... Vol. 1

Responding to this crisis, the national government decided to blockade the borders of Chiba Prefecture. Within a town overrun by zombies, survival becomes humanity’s top priority. Don’t get bitten. Find shelter. Secure food and water. Simple enough, right? For the six survivors hiding out in a shopping mall in Makuhari, these goals come easier than expected.

With a few screws loose (and his frequent fantasy to open fire on civilians to show for it), Jagasaki's mind is anything but stable. Then, out of the blue, people suddenly begin to contort into monsters driven by primal urges to commit violence. And as chance has it, Jagasaki also gains a grotesque body-morphing power which transforms his right hand into a fleshy gun. A newly made monster and mentally unstable, Jagasaki becomes an antihero of ambiguous morals and dark impulses.....
