An ambitious work by author Miyuki Miyabe, with a brilliant concept of a zombie X period novel!

One winter morning.
A boy, wondering if the pond had frozen over overnight, stirs the pond with a stick and discovers an unidentified drowned body.
It was the corpse of a man who had been submerged in water for a long time, making it difficult to discern his original physique.
But while the villagers were gathered together to discuss how to deal with the situation, the dead man suddenly jumped up, attacked the people, and turned the village into a mess.
Moreover, a drowned body that is unmoving even when hit by an arrow turns into the same monster when it bites a person.

Where and why did the 'non-human' appear?
How can you kill someone who is already dead?
A thrilling battle between "non-humans" who cannot die even if killed and humans whose lives are destroyed by a sudden disaster unfolds in Mishimaya's unique ghost story.
Miyuki Miyabe's latest work brings to mind the irreversible destruction of Japanese society through zombies that emerge from a place where order has collapsed due to corrupt political power!


It was first serialized in Crema Club as a ‘Yes24 Original’.

“This reign is sloppy and cold to the people.
They are lazy, arrogant, and unscrupulous in even giving such a big task, let alone exploiting seniority.
I had been vaguely aware of it until now, but since there was nothing I could do about complaining, I kept my mouth shut and closed my eyes.
But now it has been revealed in an instant, and now there is no turning back.
“Monsters and bad politics, the destruction of human life, are equally harmful.”
