Premise

Yuki Takeya is a cheerful school girl who, along with her friends Kurumi Ebisuzawa, Yūri Wakasa, and Miki Naoki, is a member of the . As Yuki seeks out fun school activities every day while living at school, the other girls work to keep her safe, as in reality, they are the sole survivors of their school after a zombie outbreak overruns the city.

Characters

School Living Club

The main characters of the series are a small club of girls who prioritize being able to live within the school building.

[1]
  • Live action portrayal: Midori Nagatsuki[2]
  • A bright and cheerful girl who is always excited to try new and exciting club activities. As a result of a mental breakdown due to the zombie outbreak, Yuki has created an idealized delusion for herself, believing that everything is normal and her classmates and teachers are alive and well. Slowly, she realizes the truth of her surroundings but still acts oblivious, though she will panic on occasions when her delusion breaks down and she sees reality for what it is. Since leaving the school, Yuki has slowly been coming to terms with reality and has tried to be of more use to the group.
    [3]
  • Live action portrayal: Nanami Abe
  • A twin-tailed girl of the School Living Club, who is often sent out on the more dangerous missions. She carries a shovel around with her at all times in case of zombie encounters. She was formerly in love with an unnamed upperclassman, but when the zombie outbreak occurred, her crush was bitten and attacked her. She then used a shovel to kill him, and it has since been her weapon of choice. After she becomes infected by being bitten on the right arm by the zombified Megumi, she is seemingly cured by an antidote. However, her body remains cold and she is ignored by other zombies, suggesting that the antidote didn't work properly. In later manga chapters, she begins to display zombie-like behavior though she still manages to retain her sense of self.
    [4]
  • Live action portrayal: Wakana Majima
  • The president of the School Living Club, nicknamed . She is the one who manages everything the club has. Even though she acts as a strong girl and big sister for the other members, she is extremely mentally fragile, growing more unstable as the stakes get higher. She has a younger sister named Ruu, who she believes she has rescued from an elementary school but is later revealed to be Yuki's stuffed teddy bear.
    [5]
  • Live action portrayal: Rio Kiyohara
  • A blonde-haired girl who is a year below the other girls and is nicknamed by Yuki, much to her dismay. She was rescued by the School Living Club while they were scouting a shopping mall, where she had been living since the outbreak. She initially dislikes the way Kurumi and Yuuri play along with Yuki's delusions, but later comes to understand how she helps them. She also becomes kind and soft, opening her true self to other members, and is especially close to both Yuki and Kurumi. She refers to Yuki as her senpai.
    [6]
  • Live action portrayal: Nonoka Ono
  • A teacher and the advisor for the School Living Club who is affectionately called by her students, forming the club to protect the girls when the outbreak occurred. While initially shown to be a teacher with rather little presence, often being interrupted by the other girls, it is soon revealed that she, like the other students, is another part of Yuki's delusions. In reality, she was infected shortly after forming the School Living Club, forcing herself into a hidden part of the school before completely turning into a zombie. When she is eventually found, she ends up infecting Kurumi before being put down by Miki.
    [7]
  • A Shiba Inu puppy found by Yuki and taken in as the School Living Club's mascot. However, due to him being infected, the girls were forced to abandon him outside. Due to his residual memories of the club, he still occasionally attempts to return to the clubroom. Compared to the source material, Taromaru's role is expanded in the anime adaptation, having originally been found by Miki before they were both taken in by the club, and later infected by Megumi. Although he is given the same vaccine given to Kurumi and cured of the infection itself, he is left weak from the fight and dies unable to recover.

    Megurigaoka Private High School

    [8]
  • Miki's classmate and best friend who accompanied her when the zombie outbreak initially occurred. Forced to lock themselves in a room within a shopping mall, Kei eventually grew tired of being restricted indoors and left. When the club eventually left their school to go to college, Miki believes she saw a zombified Kei on the way out.
    Another teacher at Megurigaoka Private High School and one of Yuki's teachers. As a teacher, she was calm and kind; but due to Yuki often sleeping in class, she would get a little annoyed with her; though, she did not get particularly angry, and only warned her that if she continued, she would have to stay after class. However, she did get angry when Yuki's friends would interrupt her classes. She was also very caring, and before the outbreak, she seemed to be on good terms with Megumi, which was proven when she decided to spend her last moments telling Megumi about the outbreak and not to let anyone come on to the rooftop.
  • A student at Megurigaoka Private High School, and she was a close friend and classmate of Yuki prior to the outbreak. She had a calm demeanor, with a punk-like atmosphere surrounding her. Takae also seemed to have quite a playful personality, throwing paper planes at Yuki with a drawing of her depicted as an angel inside. She greatly cherished Yuki and was very affectionate with her, and she was also on good terms with her other two friends. Near the end of the series, Takae (in her zombie form) was "listening" when Yuki spoke from the broadcasting room as she told the students who were still at the school that classes were over and that they could go home.
  • St. Isidore University

    A university in the same town area as the School-Live club. It is one of the several designated facilities in the town with survival rations, solar panels, and an evacuation shelter. Following the outbreak, the surviving students at the school became divided, with some banding together to survive (the Circle) while others descended into anarchic survivalism (the Militants).

    The club president of the St. Isidore University's, also known as the Circle, a small team of women who are at odds with some of the other students who are more focused on survival. She has a collection of video games and movies that she can play using the university's facilities. She makes an anime-original cameo in anime's final episode post-credits. She left the Militants when she disagreed with their strict methods. Unlike the Militants, she does not enforce body checks for signs of infection.
  • Member of the Circle and like most of its members, she was a former member of Militants until she left after having a glimpse of the thrilling pleasure that Ayaka took in the zombie apocalypse. She was a Liberal Arts Major before the outbreak.
  • Repairman of the Circle, nicknamed Hika for short. She is quiet and kind, but was kicked out of the Militants after failing to kill a zombie by herself in fear, being deemed too weak to survive. She was an Engineering student and performs maintenance on the facilities that the Circle uses.
  • The bookworm and librarian of the Circle, she often remains in the school library to read books due to her love of books and rarely leaves. She was also a Liberal Arts Major before the outbreak.
  • An older student from the University who has been studying the infection on her own for weeks. After traveling to Randal Corporation HQ, Aosoi deduces the possible location of a cure for the infection, but becomes infected herself and dies before she is able to directly relay that information. She leaves behind notes of the cure in her cellphone, which the girls use to stop the virus.
  • Leader of the Militants, the more survival-oriented combatant group of students at the university. He enforces body checks on all members of the club in order to eliminate the chance of a zombie infection among them. He is often seen with a negative outlook and expression because of the stress of surviving the outbreak. He uses a nail bat as a weapon. He is betrayed by Ayaka after he is infected, pushed into a horde of zombies and burned alive to cover her escape from the university.
  • One of the remaining female members of the Militants, she usually is calm and without obvious emotion but secretly takes great pleasure in killing zombies and people alike, as a means of having a fulfilling existence. She is adept at using a crossbow and knife as weapons. She kills Takahito to distract the zombies and escape the university, as she believes that she will have far more fun outside the walls of the college.
  • The other female member of the Militants, she has a side ponytail and is the main zombie exterminator of the group. She has a kind-hearted nature, but is efficient in exterminating zombies. She considers another member of the Militants, Kougami, as a precious person and has been hinted to be pregnant. She is adept with a variety of weapons, usually using an ice pick or a similar short weapon.
  • Another member of the Militants. Nicknamed Ren, he uses a crossbow and is Shinou's lover.
  • Another member of the Militants.
  • Other characters

    A girl who broadcasts on a pirate radio station in the hopes of reaching out to any survivors. Unfortunately, she succumbs to her infection before the School Living Club is able to reach her. She does, however, live long enough to leave a note behind explaining to any survivors that come across her hideout to take the keys to the hideout and motorhome, which the girls do.
  • Yuuri's little sister who is in elementary school. Yuuri seemingly rescues her from the elementary school after the School Living Club leaves their own school. In reality, Ruu is actually just Yuki's teddy bear that Yuuri deluded herself into thinking is her sister similar to Yuki's delusions of Megumi. The others from St. Isidore University and the School Living Club, including Yuki, were simply playing along to keep Yuuri happy and sane as they did for Yuki in the past. Yuuri eventually comes to terms with Ruu's death, giving the bear to Shinou for her baby.
