At least she did not go all crazy, for now. I'm kind of liking this even more. I wonder how he is going to "preserve" her. Also it seems like the grandpa knows something, perhaps has others have mentioned, he might be a zombie too.

Anyway, I can't wait for the next chapter.

One other thing about the cat that I forgot to comment on,

He seemed to "regain or return to normal." Remember the eyes? I wonder if she will eventually go back to "normal."

Hmm yes that happened after the cat ate the leaves again...ohhh ohhh, remember his Grandma usually ate that poisonous leaf before? i bet he can make Rea return to normal by using that leaf too..now i get it, his grandpa managed to revive the grandma, and by eating that poisonous leaf she can return into normal again

i hav a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach....at this point in the story, it could either end up very romantic, or very horrorish, im hoping for the former

Well, the cat turned out fine and is even becoming progressively more normal. I can think of three reasons for the difference:

1. A cold shower caused the muscles in her body to be more difficult to move, as opposed to the cat which gets constant sunlight
2. She hasn't moved as much as the cat, which might prevent rigidness
3. Like someone else said, it is about the leaves

Of the senses closely curled
Like a serpent round his heart
Shakes herself and stands apart."

Really love where this manga is taking us. And I am also thinking the same rTz is telling.

About the chapter, I first was afraid then we see almost kissed him. She wanted to bite him xD. But she is just an adorable zombie girl who is in love.. lawl. The fact she can feel emotions gives me the feeling she isn't complety death. And I think that she can turn back.

Also, I do like the pacing of this manga. It's not dragged. And the romance begins quickly in one side. I don't really ecspect a long serie though~

But seeming the manga is getting pretty popular. I hope to see an anime of it in the future~

Promising. And still hoping it will be a cute serie, not a horror serie xD. But I keep reading it though.

5/5 this chap

It's too soon for an anime, we only have like what 4 chapters?
I don't know about the RAW or the magazine though, but i still think it's too soon for this to be animated..

Hmm i read this manga because the author is the same author that made Umisho, full of jokes, nice romance, light slice of life, i think a happy ending will be presented..maybe

Furuya's guess was that her body started rotting because the effect of the potion was wearing off, so she will probably be okay if she feeds on Hortensia like Babu... I think.

Rigor mortis was just a sign of what started happening to her body. It will eventually rot if Furuya doesn't find a way to prevent it.

No problem I'll counter it. Check chapter 3, page 42. Those are HER guts. The place is also the same. And by saving her he meant save her from being a zombie/dead.

I have no idea what ending will be like. It is far too early for judging.

Man, what I'm most surprised about is how Hattori Mitsuru's art style is so revamped. I was re-reading Inu Neko Jump and saw this but that's a crazy change. Anyways, rigor mortis... it can't exactly be stopped by using the potion from before. Rigor mortis stiffens the body through a chemical reaction so it can't exactly be treated with sunlight or movement. The potion was used to resurrect the dead but it was never mentioned how it would preserve the body after usage. It probably has something to do with the book which will then tie into the story at some point.

Instinct?

Anyway, I am actually hooked on this manga, the concept is quite unique.

@redsnigami: CanisTomek is correct. The first page of the first chapter was actually a preview of her death and coming back to life. Those were indeed her guts and what he meant by saving her, it was saving her from dying.

Rea as a zombie is cool and she looks so happy in the spoiler
Her body is really hot and ROFL at the grand-father thinking she is his lover from the dead. Loved the explanation of Rigor Mortis in the spoiler
as it explains a lot about muscle stiffening and what happens after. So how will Chihiro handle this problem?

...aaaaaand that wraps up volume 1.

I'm kind of lowkey disappointed that the art in this chapter is down a bit after the fantastic art in chapter three, but hey, chapter 3 was a big deal so I feel like I understand why it was more detailed and pretty.

Kind of weird to believe that I've only read 4 chapters and one volume and yet I'm already almost halfway through what was adapted into anime ._. I wonder how the second volume will be.

Ah well, the first volume was good. I did much prefer the setup that the anime adaptation had because it was a lot slower and more atmospheric and serious about itself, whereas the manga was more goofy and lighthearted and fast paced in comparison.

Anyone know the Japanese name for that item (similar to a body sponge) used on page 24-25?

Edit: it's a loofah (alternator spelling as luffa) which is simply a tried out cucumber (gourd) sometimes known as a body gourd or sponge gourd.
