Zombie survival manga with art from Hour of the Zombie creator ships in October
Seven Seas Entertainment announced on Thursday that it has licensed Tsukasa Saimura and Shigeo Nakayama's Tokyo Undead manga. The manga will ship in one omnibus volume on October 4, 2016.
Seven Seas describes the zombie survival story:
After a man-made pathogen known as the K virus is accidentally released from Fieldwar Labs in the heart of Tokyo, the city is overrun by flesh-eating zombies. In the hopes of saving the last-remaining survivors of this apocalypse, an organization known as Madara sends out its rookie member in a last-ditch effort to find a cure. Young Itachi must survive the zombie-ravaged streets of Tokyo while searching for the missing key that's integral to Japan's survival!
Saimura drew the manga based on Nakayama's story. Tokuma Shoten published both volumes of the manga simultaneously last July.
Seven Seas Entertainment is also publishing Saimura's Hour of the Zombie manga.
