Zombie Cherry

A short-lived but distinctive three-issue miniseries from Éditions Akata (2016–2017), Zombie Cherry blends horror and dark comedy in a story about a high school girl who, after a bizarre accident, finds herself as a zombie with a literal craving for human flesh—and a surprisingly sunny disposition. The series is primarily associated with writer and artist Atsushi Kaneko, whose scratchy, high-energy artwork gives the undead antics a punk-rock edge. Though brief, it stands out for its twisted yet playful take on the zombie genre, offering a quick, visceral read that lingers long after the final page.
