Sankarea: Undying Love

Sankarea: Undying Love is an 11-issue manga series published by Kodansha USA from 2013 to 2015, following a teenage boy’s obsessive quest to resurrect his deceased cat through a forbidden ritual—only to accidentally reanimate a lonely, zombie-obsessed girl instead. Written and illustrated by Mitsuru Hattori, the series blends horror, romance, and dark humor as it explores themes of love, death, and what it means to be truly alive. A cult favorite among fans of quirky supernatural romance, it stands out for its earnest, offbeat take on the zombie genre, balancing gothic melancholy with genuine heart.
