We follow the main protagonist, an Otaku though intelligent in some ways, when it comes to social skills and common sense he seems to be somewhat lacking. In other words, usual Zombie like infection. The manga is about the journey of Heido as the world around him collapses due to unknown viral infection that is transmitted through the blood/saliva of the infected. This is nothing like the movie, which is purely a Zombie flick. Towards the end it becomes hard to put down. The manga starts really slow and picks up I around volume 5-6.
