Plot[edit]
Highschool of the Dead is set in present-day Japan, beginning as the world is struck by a deadly pandemic that turns humans into zombies, euphemistically referred to by the main characters as 'Them' (奴らYatsu-ra). The story follows a group of high school students and the school's nurse as they deal with a worldwide catastrophic event known as the 'Outbreak'. As the cast tries to survive the zombie apocalypse, they must also face the additional threats of societal collapse, in the form of dangerous fellow survivors, and the possible decay of their own moral codes. Starting from the high school, the students escape into town where they must deal with a corrupt teacher and his students. They check their homes for survivors, and pick up a little girl and a dog. Later, they hold up at a mall, travel through a police station, and eventually make their way to an elementary school that is supposedly a safe zone.

Manga[edit]
Written by Daisuke Satō and illustrated by Shōji Satō, Highschool of the Dead began serialization in the September 2006 issue of Fujimi Shobo's manga magazineMonthly Dragon Age. The manga went on hiatus from 2008 to 2010, but after March 2011, only one more chapter was released in April 2013.[3][4][5] The series was left unfinished following Daisuke Satō's death on March 22, 2017.[6] Fujimi Shobo and Kadokawa Shoten published seven tankōbon volumes from March 1, 2007 and April 25, 2011 in Japan.[7][8]
A full-color version of the manga, called Highschool of the Dead: Full-Color Edition (学園黙示録 HIGHSCHOOL OF THE DEAD FULL COLOR EDITION), began serialization in the February 2011 issue of Monthly Dragon Age. Kadokawa Shoten released the manga's seven volumes from February 25, 2011 to March 9, 2013.[9][10] In North America, the full-color edition began serialization in the March 2011 issue of Yen Press' Yen Plus online magazine,[11] and ran until the July 2011 issue.[12] The volumes were later released in two hardcover omnibus volumes on November 22, 2011 and December 17, 2013.[13][14]
Shortly following the inception of the series and before it was licensed for distribution in English, the manga became popular enough in English via scanlation to draw the attention of the creators, who included a message in English within the magazine's printing of the fifth chapter that requested readers to buy the original manga when it is available.[15] The manga was later licensed in North America by Yen Press,[16] and the first volume was released on January 25, 2011.[17] The series is also published in Spain by Glénat España,[18] in Germany by Carlsen, in Italy, Brazil, Mexico and Colombia by Panini Comics, in Canada and France for French-language publication by Pika Édition, in Poland by Waneko,[19] and in Taiwan by Kadokawa Media.

For the anime adaptation, Chris Beveridge from Mania.com comments on the first episode, 'There's a lot to like here if you're looking for something beyond the usual high school dramas and comedies of the last few years.'[48] Carlo Santos of Anime News Network states that, 'Other recent zombie works in Western entertainment have tried to play it ironic, or postmodernist, or just plain silly, but this one goes for straight-up horror—and pulls it off admirably.'[49] However, Zac Bertschy, also of Anime News Network, states for this episode that, 'It just could've easily been written by a script generator or a horror fan with 19 minutes to kill.'[50]
Andy Hanley of the UK Anime Network summaries the first manga volume as: 'Nothing ground-breaking here, but a volume of mindless fun that brings all of the gory entertainment of a zombie apocalypse to the printed page.'[51] Chris Lanxon of Wired UK praises its production quality despite having no single original element.[52]
At San Diego Comic-Con 'Best and Worst Manga of 2011' panel, it was listed among the 'Worst Manga' in a series of rapid-fire questions.[53]
In March 2015, the Chinese Ministry of Culture announced a crackdown on sites hosting overly-violent or sexual anime content, with Highschool of the Dead being singled out as an example due to its sexual content; the Ministry described it as 'borderline-pornographic'.[54] On June 12, 2015, the Chinese Ministry of Culture listed Highschool of the Dead among 38 anime and manga titles banned in China.[55]
Appearances in other titles[edit]
Illustrator Shōji Satō featured Rei and Saeko in crossover illustrations for his other manga Triage X and the video game Lollipop Chainsaw, where their high school uniforms are available as unlockable costumes for main character Juliet Starling. It was also briefly featured roughly halfway through episode 4 of Ano Natsu de Matteru.[56][57]

HighSchool Of The Dead Season 2 Release Date And Spoilers: Is there is any chance for a new season of High School of the Dead?. Well, the reason why I’ve decided to write on it is for two reasons. One it is one of the most is people are searching on the Internet and true we have a recent article coming out.
I thought it’d be a good time to just kind of update people on the chances of HighSchool Of The Dead Season 2. So that people have the correct information available to them rather than going through websites and YouTube channels that seem to be giving people this false impression that something is going to happen When in fact it is not. As much as I would love to tell people and don’t get me wrong I’m not hating on the anime as much as people will think that I would love for this anime to get a new season for those of the fans of the anime can enjoy that.
Personally wasn’t an anime for me but for those that I do know that enjoy I would love for them to have a new season of this anime so that they could enjoy it. But recent information has come out it is very much obvious that this is not going to get a new season.
High School Of The Dead Season 2 Release
A lot of that comes down to the fact that the two people that were working on the manga and the project fit is, of course, we all know that one of them passed away many years ago. And a lot of the pressure from the fans has been through the last you know person that is still alive that is by the way being very ill has stated multiple times that they never intend on working on this project again out of one respect for their friend and the person that they work trib on this project.
But also another factor is that they weren’t the one creating the story itself. it was the other person that passed away that was the main person roadmapping this story. and they never left notes they never left a road map of where they wanted this story to go. so it’s very hard for the other person that’s still you know River us that could work on it know what to do.
And I know a lot of people say well you know just make a new story. the thing is with Japan and this particular person is that they respect the work that went into it by the person that has left us. And so that person does not want to tarnish the work that that person has put in and they don’t want to take it in a direction that would disrespect that person. I mean Japan has a lot of respect for the living and the dead and that is something that we’ve got to be mindful of in a Western audience that sometimes people forget. When it comes to the Japanese culture is that they do respect the dead.
And they really do to look you know true them and you don’t want to tarnish their name all their actions. and I would say the rippling effect that they have on the world. and so seeing a project like this done by two people and of course their friend or partner in working on this project has passed away. this other person does not want to tarnish or change or do anything that could disrespect that person’s hard work.
I’m not necessarily annoyed at the fans of the animators. I’m more annoyed at websites and YouTube channels that are constantly going around making videos that you know rumors are that it’s coming out in several years and rumors are that it’s been cancelled or you know headlines like that you can’t cancel something that was never announced and you can’t use the word rumor when it’s not a rumor you’re merely putting your own speculation and prediction in what could happen and rather than weighing up facts a lot of these websites and channels are telling you what you want to hear.
So I’m going to give you the correct information so that you know the hard truth. And so as much as I would love to tell people that a new season for this anime is coming out and I really don’t like making this article because I feel like I’m being very heavy-handed to fans give you a realistic idea that this anime is not going to be getting a new season. It’s not going to get further on in the story that this project has been scrapped completely from the point of that person’s you know passing away. So I hope a lot of people understand that and I respect for to the Japanese culture and that particular colleague and instead of spamming them on you know social media demanding that they have to work on this project let’s just be respectful of that deceased person and the person that worked with them.
