Season Overview
In 2008, Sakura reached the second year of high school, and she wants to go to Tokyo to audition to become an idol, but as soon as she leaves home, she gets hit by a van resulting in her death.

Ten years later, Sakura wakes up in a certain western-style house with no recollection of her past life, and is suddenly attacked by zombie girls and escapes outside, but finds that she also turned into a zombie. A young man, Kotaro Tatsumi, tells them that they was revived as zombies for the local idol project "Zombie Land Saga Project" that raises awareness for the Saga Prefecture.
