Where his work shines though is in his layouts and the zombies themselves. It’s not perfect by any means, since he occasionally has problems with leveling a person’s eyes and includes fanservice shots that are really out of place. Igarashi Kaoru, the best character in the book, acts as a leader to fellow infected people and tries to have themselves quarantined so they don’t hurt anyone. People not infected do make attempts to scan and look over every person so an infected person doesn’t get into their midst, checking for wounds or looking at their eyes (there’s a slight whiteness to a person’s iris if infected). Second, there is some intelligence on display here.
One, I like that they try to explain or theorize about the infection what could be causing it? Is it an evolved form of rabies since it seems to share some similar traits with the disease? Although the disease doesn’t seem to be permanent, the characters are at least pondering the situation and wondering if there could be a way to fix it. That being said, there are only a few good aspects to this first volume beyond the premise. How do people deal with this infection? Do we risk killing our loved ones since they can turn back to normal? If people turn back to normal, maybe there’s a cure out there? How do people react to former friends and allies now infected? What kind of discrimination and new hatred is born from this? It is these possibilities in Hour of the Zombie that make me personally want to stick with it to see where it goes.
Hour of the zombi emanga series#
These factors allow for interesting ideas and new directions for where a zombie series can go. Plus, the zombies even seem to have some sort of memory of other people when raging out, like when Umezawa, as a zombie, steps in to protect Akira from others. It’s an interesting take on the zombie plague, with people acting like rage zombies from 28 Days Later but then going back to normal… and then going back into rage mode again. The idea behind Hour of the Zombie is both messed up and terrifying in all the most wonderful ways. What the hell is exactly happening here? The Yays Before everyone can figure out what just happened… everyone starts raging out again. All people actually like rage zombies… just go back to normal as if nothing happen and with no memory. Then the strangest thing happens: the madness stops. After a series of misses and dodges, Akira eventually corners zombified Kurumi and tries to put her out of her misery.
Umezawa warns the two that the students have changed and tried attacking him, but unfortunately, both he and Kurumi are bitten by their former classmates. One day at high school, Nikaidou Akira and his childhood friend/crush, Akutsu Kurumi, find their other friend, Umezawa Reiji beating the crap out of some students.
