Prelim Review: I read this a long time ago, but having only recently acquired the rest of the series, I decided to re-read it. I forgot how...annoying the entire cast is at first. Perhaps because the anime gets this all out of the way quicker I forgot, but Shito is a bipolar jerk, Chika is a loudmouth jerk and Michiru is so...milquetoast I just wanted her to die. And then she did and then she came back and the story became slightly more interesting.

Seriously though I spent most of this book anticipating the next book (that bring ins Shiba! Oh Shiba!) and this time around I liked Yomi so much more than I did years ago.

This is the story of a high school girl who unwittingly becomes the gopher of two boy zombies. They're not the nicest people you could meet, but they're certainly cute. The heroine of the story can see rings around people's necks and she knows when they're about to die which is what makes her useful to the zombies who are paying off a loan so they can be whole again.

At least, that's what I think happened.

The graphics are confusing, to say the least. I would stare at the pictures and wonder just what was happening and also who was saying what. The story kept me going, not the drawings.

It was a nice, fun, lunchtime read that drew at least one comment from someone seeing me read it. They were interested that it was read from right to left. ( )

A couple of Highschool boys almost die in an accident. They come back but one of the females students notices a ring on their nect, like the one her parent had before they died, and this one is dark..... She is drawn into the mystery and into their lives in the fun filled Manga. Great art work. ( )

This first manga was of introduction to it's characters and it's time set, and the layout of it's background on what's to be ahead. It doesn't grab you right away, however, it does have you wondering what then, now what, will she still continue to be this timid shy innocent girl. The art work is very crisp, and aren't too shy on the gore or at least the imagination of it. A nice steady read on a rainy day. Although I didn't give this manga high stars, I WILL be reading Volume 2. ( )
