Highschool of the Dead

The story of Highschool of the Dead takes place in modern-day Japan and opens as a fatal outbreak converts humans into zombies, which the main characters euphemistically refer to as "Them." A group of high school kids and the school nurse are portrayed as they cope with the global cataclysmic event known as the "Outbreak." The cast must contend with the added dangers of social breakdown, including dangerous survivors and the potential erosion of their own moral standards, as they attempt to escape the zombie apocalypse. The students leave the high school and make their way into the town, where they have to contend with a dishonest instructor and his pupils. They search their residences for survivors and rescue a young girl and a dog. They eventually find refuge at a mall, pass through a police station on their way to an elementary school that is supposed to be a safe place.
