As the story begins, it is pulled right into the outbreak where Rei is almost bitten by the zombies of her classmates but is saved by Takashi and Hisashi, her boyfriend. They make it to the rooftop of their highschool and witness the growing chaos (students still alive running and bitten by their zombie counterparts, a teacher committing suicide, and smokes burning the entire city).It seems like a movie (Romero's Dead series) or like a game(Resident Evil) as stated by Hisashi and Takashi. While the trio helplessly watch their world crumble, Takashi recalls the last 2 hours before, in his point of view, was the end of everything.
It began when Takashi was skipping class after informing his friend. He goes to the school's roof and laments the loss of Rei in his life after he finds out she is dating Hisashi. While he enjoys the Cherry Blossom fall, he witnesses a strange incident when a zombie policeman appeared at the gate and started causing a ruckus, teachers and the principal arrive to quell the zombie's misbehavior. But with no success as the zombie started the chain reacion that sets this adventure, biting the teachers and spreading a mysterious disease that reanimates a bitten person or dead body into a mindless, flesh eating zombie. Disturbingly, the virus made by the zombies is extremely quick and deadly, as it manages to spread around the school in 2 hours. Without wasting time, Takashi runs to class while the teachers are being eaten alive and demands Rei and Hiashi come with him to the point of slapping Rei because she was too persistent on the matter, he briefs them on the strange situation at the gate. Then the horror befell them; the speaker of the school announces that there is chaos on the grounds, and that students must go with their teachers to the dorms. Right before the announcer himself is eaten alive.
Students start running scared, even beating each other up and leaving most of them on either a critical situation or killing most of them, which helps spread the virus. Rei and Hisashi are then convinced to go with Takashi. They manage to find weapons in the form of a baseball bat, a pole from a mop and Hisashi's skills with karate. En route to the observatory on Hisashi's idea, they are assaulted by a former teacher now a zombie. After a struggle which they attempt to learn how to defeat it, the zombie bites Hisashi's arm. It is this case that Takashi finds the zombie's ultimate weakness: a blow or concuction to the skull or head. He dispatches the zombie and tells Hisashi their weakness. Sparing no time, they defeat any zombie following them to the roof of the Observatory.
Once on the roof, The trio barricaded themselves in the observatory, thinking of a plan to stay there and supplying them with stocks that would probably last them 3 days. But a tragedy befell them, Hisashi finds out that a single bite from the zombies is extremely fatal and contaigous as he starts having trouble breathing and starts spewing blood. He requested Takashi to toss him off the roof once he turns into a zombie. This event would change Rei and Takashi's relationship for the rest of the story. After dying on the floor by Rei's side, Hisashi turned into a zombie and was manhandled by Takashi shortly. Rei berated Takashi for killing Hisashi; feeling that she could've saved the latter from his zombie fate. Takashi, then feeling that he is not needed by her and burdened by guilt over killing Hisashi, loses confidence in himself. He selfishly attempts to jump through the barricade to defeat the swarming scourge of zombies but is begged by Rei to not leave her, saying she was so sorry and begged him to stay with her.

). But since the mangaka put drama aspects in this supposedly-horror manga, maybe my prediction will go wrong (sometime mangaka doesnt kill the character because of fans demand). For now, let's just wait and see for the new chapters, coz it's too early for discussion I guess...
