About this title

Synopsis

It is no coincidence that Megurigaoka Private High School is a second home for Yuki Takeya and the rest of the School Living Club. The club has only one mission: to spend day and night on campus promoting independence and engaging in a wide variety of school activities. Between Yuuri Wakasa's composure, Kurumi Ebisuzawa's dependability, Yuki Takeya's initiative, and their teacher Megumi Sakura's support, the club should have everything under control—in theory, that is. As it turns out, living at school has its fair share of challenges. In order to make it to graduation and beyond, the members of the School Living Club must overcome their day-to-day troubles while making the most of their school lives. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Main characters

Kurumi Ebisuzawa1521 fan favorites
External profile
Kurumi is the more tomboyish member of the School Life Club, who never hesitates in fighting against the undead using the shovel she carries around with her at all times. Being remarkably calm in difficult situations, Kurumi takes care of the other girls and often acts as Yuuri's confidante. In the manga: In Otayori:
Yuki Takeya947 fan favorites
External profile
Yuki is one of the members of the "School Living Club". She is cheerful and very childish and frequently acts as the motivator of the group, defusing tense situations and sometimes offering creative solutions. Yuki also comes up with fun activities to pass the time, like a sports festival or camping nights. She is shown to have a very good sense of hearing, which leads to the group coming across and rescuing Miki during their trip for supplies to the mall. Yuki is oblivious to the fact that she is in the midst of a zombie apocalypse and the "activities" of the club are survival missions. Not wanting to disturb her already fragile mental state, the other girls go along with her ideas. Whenever she finds herself in the presence of an infected, Yuki tends to freeze up and not understand what's happening. In Otayori:
Miki Naoki299 fan favorites
External profile
Miki is a second year student of Megurigaoka High School. She is seen hanging out with her best friend Kei, and the two seek refuge within a mall for a period of time when the outbreak happens. Eventually, Kei can't stand waiting around anymore and leaves. Miki spends some time alone until she hears the School Life Club girls on their trip to gather supplies, and decides to leave her shelter as well. At first, Miki hates the way Kurumi and Yuuri just accept Yuki's illusions, but later comes to understand their reasons and warms up to Yuki. In contrast with her time in the mall, Miki becomes very proactive once she joins the School Life Club, and often goes on missions alone and battles the infected like Kurumi. In Otayori:
