Synopsis

Sada is an earnest high school teacher admired by students and colleagues alike, a man who always goes above and beyond both inside and outside of the classroom. One night while walking through the city, he stumbles upon a student being violently attacked in an alley. As he tries to call for help, Sada finds himself on the end of the attacker's blade, bleeding to death on the ground. When he wakes up on a slab in an unknown laboratory, he comes face-to-face with his savior, a scientist named Mamiya. But Sada quickly realizes that in cheating death, he has become something...inhuman. What's more, he's now fully dependent on Mamiya to survive. What awaits him in this new life of death and deadly secrets?

A very intriguing story that caught my eye from the first chapter as a fan of gore and supernatural I didn't expect to get this realistic story about zombies and mad scientists.

I recommend it if you like something different and ...

If this was longer I'd think it was a better story, it even seemed like it was going to be longer. Surprisingly and sadly too, it wasn't and it ended with just two volumes.

This doesn't mean it wasn't a good, interesting, intriguing story. I enjoyed reading it, and even tho the romance was short, it filled my heart and then broke it into a million pieces (just like good tragedies should).

A very out of the ordinary story, specially for what I normally read (I had a really hard time at the beginning because I'm not good with gore), but it managed to get ...

For personal purposes this is a 10/10, but critically I'll give it an 8/10.
I'm very early on in my BL journey but with everyone I read I'm like, 'no, THIS is the best one' but I sincerely think this one will have a little place in my heart for a very long time.

The pacing of this was very nice, despite its length the relationship has a slow build to the point I found myself getting audibly excited when things started moving, which is rare for me to be caught up like this. I would've liked to have seen more of them: both of the ...
