Trade Review"engaging in ways you might not have expected"---animenewsnetwork.com
"This first volume is a great beginning to an ambitious zombie manga. I had a surprisingly good time with this one, and can't wait for the next one soon! 4 out of 5" --gamingtrend.com
"The black and white art effectively creates atmosphere, and with brutal detail Takahashi captures gruesome imagery and makes reading it a visceral experience. The manga is written by Tsukasa Saimura, and they work as a good team to make this manga stand out." --otakuusamagazine.com
"The creators go for the jugular."
"Kozo Takahashi’s artwork seems inspired by the work of Junji Ito. This is not only evidenced through the grotesque designs of the zombies, but also through the human characters who look like they are on the brink of insanity."-----aiptcomics.com
