When the infectious outbreak was first reported in Chiba, Japan, no one could believe it was real. But when Riri Mizukami (Hiyori Sakurada) meets one of the infected on the way home from her softball club, she knows this virus is going to change the world forever. 

Escaping to a public shelter with the rest of her club, Riri believes they’re all safe, but when it’s discovered that someone inside the shelter has been infected, she fears her life may be at its end. Lucky or not, Riri escapes the shelter and soon finds herself holed up at a shopping mall in Makuhari, but Riri isn’t the only survivor now calling the mall home. Forced to live with several men and women of all ages and occupations, Riri and her new “family” must work together to find ways to survive.

While the world outside the mall is a literal zombie hellscape, life inside the mall isn’t all that bad. With enough provisions to last everyone quite a while, an odd sense of comfort settles over the survivors, causing some to begin to wonder if they might find love. But can one find love amid a zombie apocalypse?

Zombies on $ale

The beheaded corpse of a man is found in Tokyo. His body appears to have been cut with an almost impossibly sharp blade. But there is one baffling detail about this case: There is no sign of blood around the cut. A young and ambitious female news reporter named Mio Sanjo (Mai Fukagawa) tries to get to the bottom of the case – only to witness a horrific plume of what looks like filthy black dust gushing from the wound. The police officers cannot see this dust, but Mio Sanjo knows that her eyes are not deceiving her...

She soon learns that two mysterious men named Kakeru Osagami (Saotome Taichi) and Sho Iotsu (Endo Yuya) can also “see” this black filth – and have a very keen interest in it! It turns out that Kakeru Osagami is a “blade master” who is on the hunt for the sword that cut the man. He has a deadly quest: Hunting down these so-called “filth blades,” which have been forged from human evil and can corrupt the souls of those who wield them. But with every blade he neutralizes, Kakeru Osagami absorbs some of the “filth.” Can he wipe out all of the blades before the “filth” consumes him?

Waka (Yurika Nakamura) is a librarian who is also something of an avid bookworm herself. She hoards books and has a huge personal collection. In fact, this book collection is so extensive that it is causing her problems: She can’t find a place to live that has enough bookshelf space to house the collection. One day, at the library, she is reunited with a man she once knew…

That man is a scientific researcher named Shinobu (Hashimoto Ryosuke). He attended the same high school as Waka and had a huge crush on her. One day, while she was reading a novel in the school library, he suddenly kissed her – causing her alarm. After that, Shinobu had to move abroad when his father was sent overseas. Since returning to Japan, Shinobu found well-paid work and has become a success. He is still utterly smitten with Waka, and offers to let her move in – with all her books. She agrees. But could this unusual arrangement ultimately lead them on the path to love?

The drama was based on a hit manga series by Hiiro Kisaragi, which debuted in 2019 and ran until 2021.
