Romero/Relationships

Sakura Minamoto (Zombie #1)
Sakura is afraid of him at first after witnessing him transform into his scariest form, as he accepts the dried squid, which Kotaro rewards him with for doing a good job bringing the girls together. The two's bond has apparently grown throughout the series, as Sakura was comfortable enough to invite him on her morning jog in the tenth episode. After being hit by another truck, Romero quickly tries to scare the truck driver into concealing her identity as part of the undead, since if he got close, he would discover that she is a zombie. As the truck driver leaves, he quickly returns to Sakura's side and whimpers and barks loudly. Showing his concern for her condition.

In later episodes, Sakura has finally learned to look both ways before leaving due to the incident. She takes Romero for walks regularly, and even lets Maimai take care of him.

Saki Nikaido (Zombie #2)
Although they haven't interacted on screen, both Saki and Romero seem to get along well. Saki doesn't seem to be fazed by him and even treats him like her non-cute pet.



Ai Mizuno (Zombie #3)
During Ai's escape attempt in the second episode, she sees Romero sleeping next to the mansion's exit. Waking him up, Romero thinks she's there to play and transforms into the scariest form of him, banging on the door excitedly, scaring Ai.

In the sixth episode, Ai comments on her group's fan merchandise, designed by Kotaro, which has chibified artwork of Romero sewn onto the towels, stating that it is a “strange design”. Ai has a taste for ugly pets, and this is reflected in Revenge Episode 1, as she brings a Romero chibi keychain to her job.

Junko Konno (Zombie #4)
Like Saki, the two have little to no on-screen interaction. But it's safe to say that both are fine with each other's presence and are on good terms.

Yugiri (Zombie #5)
During the Meiji era, Romero and Yugiri first meet thanks to the elderly Jofuku, whom Yugiri looked after. Upon resurrecting as a zombie, Yugiri reacts normally with Romero because they both knew each other from the past.

Yugiri also asks Romero to take care of Tae when she is out shopping to avoid the girl's being found out because she knows that Romero is a faithful and trustworthy dog.

Lily Hoshikawa (Zombie #6)
They have a similar situation to Saki and Junko. Lily is a bit more playful and childish, so they can be seen interacting a bit from time to time.

Tae Yamada (Zombie #0)
Tae is the member of the group he hangs out with the most, considering the fact that the two share similar personalities and habits. Some of their shared activities include howling at the moon at night, sleeping on the mansion's front porch sometimes, and growling at suspicious people.

During the second season, Romero goes shopping with Tae to take care of her. The two get along with the inhabitants of Saga, who give the two candies. Romero defends Tae from being photographed by Ookoba, scaring him and throwing Arata to the ground. When it comes to Tae's safety, he goes to great lengths so that they are not found out to be zombies.

Kotaro Tatsumi
Kotaro is Romero's master, and the two share a healthy relationship. He tends to follow Kotaro and the girls. Kotaro asks him to help the girls on the spot, such as getting them together for their morning meetings, to which Kotaro rewards him with the same dried squid that he feeds the girls in the first episode.

As with Yugiri, Romero is responsible for keeping an eye on the girls when they go out and scaring away unwanted ones.

Police Officer
Seeing that the police officer is very close to the girls, Kotaro is not against the idea of doing something to stop him. He uses Romero with a projectile to knock out the policeman in the eleventh episode when the officer tries to approach a sulky Sakura without makeup.

Truck Driver (Episode 10)
To keep Sakura’s undead identity a secret, he had to scare the old man away from trying to help her. It can be assumed that he also holds some resentment for the driver, considering how he hit her with a truck, albeit accidentally.

Jofuku
Their specific relationship is unknown, though it appears they have been together for hundreds of years. During the Meiji era, Romero was Jofuku's pet dog and the one who accompanied him when he was home alone. He was responsible for keeping him entertained as he was unable to move due to his old age.

Romero was visibly worried about Jofuku when he was almost killed at the end of Episode 21 due to the assassination of the rebels in Saga. When Jofuku finally regains some of his strength, he finds Yugiri's letter. Romero accompanies him while he reads a letter from Yugiri, in which she foreshadows what would happen with the rebellion.
