High School of the Dead Manga is Meant for Animation

I am now up to date with the HSotD manga. I’m delighted how in 6 volumes it made no attempt yet to explain the epidemic or create some kind of overarching broad storyline.

It’s survival mayhem, echhi fanservice, and harem shenanigans all the way. I am not big on any of these elements at all (especially floppy boobservice), but somehow this manga did some alchemy and the whole thing is just so much fun.

Each anime episode corresponds to a chapter and there are three chapters to a volume. Thus the three episodes I’ve seen so far neatly cover the first volume of the manga.

The manga is well-illustrated and communicates action well, which is why I appreciate the anime production even more. Whatever touches they put, they made an exciting piece of work even more so.
