Michiru Kita's a weak-spirited girl who has a hard time saying what's on her mind. One day, she notices mysterious, ring-like markings around the necks of two of her classmates, Chika Akatsuki and Shito Tachibana - two boys who miraculously survived a horrible accident six months ago. Michiru, possessing the rare ability to see these rings, knows that they warn of impending death. Thinking that, perhaps, she can do something to save her classmates' lives, she approaches them...but it seems the boys have already made a different kind of deal and garnered themselves a heavy debt.

This review is from: Zombie-Loan, Vol. 1 (v. 1) (Paperback)
Zombie-Loan is another great series from Peach-Pit. The art is absolutely gorgeous, the action flows on the page, and the characters are intriguing enough to warrant multiple volumes. I didn't like Michiko at the get-go, but by the end of the volume she was my favorite character. Can't wait to pick up volume two if the level of quality stays the same. A must for any fantasy manga fan!

This review is from: Zombie-Loan, Vol. 1 (v. 1) (Paperback)
Although I'm not really into shojo for the lack of action they tend to have or not have, this series okay although again the action is pretty limited.Buy it if you've got a sister who has a thing for bishonen characters but ignore it if you want action.

Peach-Pit, <strong>Zombie-Loan, vol. 1</strong> (Yen Press, 2003)
It's taken me a number of years to track down a copy of the first volume of Zombie-Loan, and I gotta say, it's nothing at all like I expected. (I was expecting Otsuka's Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service except, you know, in reverse.) Chock-full of the cuteness one expects from the Peach-Pit crew, but with the darker overtones suggested by the title (at least, suggested by the title if you think about it from a more Japanese perspective, which I failed to do. oops.) Quick summary: Michiru Kita is a high-school student who has the ability to see the impending deaths of those around her, which show up as black rings around their necks (think ribbon more than hangman's noose here). She notices them on the necks of two guys in her class who survived a nasty accident six months previous, and tries to work up the guts to warn them, being almost painfully shy. But she soon learns there is a great deal more to this than she originally understood--and that her gift may be of great use to the guy at the top of this particular food chain... an interesting, though slightly slow, beginning (the last panels of this book give you the basic premise of the series). Looking forward to seeing where the series goes. *** ½
