Publishing company Hero's announced an anime adaptation of Isshin Inudou and Jiji & Pinch's Sailor Zombie manga on Monday.

Originally created as a drama series, Sailor Zombie aired in 12 episodes on TV Tokyo from April to July 2014, featuring members of the idol group AKB48.

Inudou and Jiji & Pinch serialized the manga based on the drama in Monthly Hero's magazine from April 2014 to December 2015, deviating from the original story and some characters. Hero's published the manga into four volumes between September 2014 and March 2016. The company released a new 2-in-1 omnibus edition on Monday.

Synopsis
Two months have passed since zombies gained control of the world.

High school student Maiko is wandering around by herself with no destination when she runs to a school where the survivors live together. She is helped by Mutsumi and Yuri, strong-willed girls the same age as Maiko. She thinks she's finally found a safe place to live, but what happens next?

In a world ruled by zombies, the girls who have survived will begin fighting! (Source: Monthly Hero's Magazine, edited)
