Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.... just like many horror movies or action movies or whatever, it always has to be my favorite character.

The addition of a new survivor shakes up the established dynamic of the three friends. I like the questions the new girl - Miki - raises about Yuki's "insanity". Is it real, or is she putting on an act for everyone else's benefit?

Back from their first field trip, the trio welcomes new addition, Miki, to their home and puts on a field day. As Miki slowly settles in to life at the school and learns more about the club's past, she must decide whether to become an official member of the School Living Club.
Great continuation of the story. This volume really takes some twists and turns. While there is humor and shenanigans, the danger certainly picks up.
Nice artwork as always.
The back matter includes a copy of the Staff Emergency Evacuation Manual, which was cool to read.
Such an intriguing series. Can't wait to read the next one.

Goodness! I really did not expect this series to grip me emotionally as much as it does! So good! Such atmosphere! But... I had to take away a star because, although the writer and manga-ka do push the bar and challenge readers when it comes to the themes of survival and desperation, I feel they could push it even further visually. Which I guess is the task of the manga-ka, isn't it? I'm already invested in the story, I just need the images to always match my emotions. I love the cuteness. I need more creepy (like the previous volume). Although, with that killer ending there, I think I will soon get what I'm asking for... *sobs*

Miki-san / Mii-kun is my favorite character at the moment. She's a down to earth, honest girl, and I love her! She's pretty relatable... no I think all of the character's are easy to relate to anyway. T0 be honest though, this story isn't really getting any more interesting. It's pretty much just them trying to be able to survive in their school from zombies. The parts I found the most eye widening was when Miki found the secret survival booklet. The group got all upset that Megu-nee didn't share it with them. Especially Kurumi. But plot twist! Megu-nee has been hiding in the basement that they hadn't checked yet, and she's a zombie herself!

I really liked seeing Mii-kun get used to living with everyone else, and was glad that this volume explained more about the teacher and the dog they used to have. Having a school living club member get bit towards the end made the situation way more serious way more quickly than I thought would happen, and I'm looking forward to reading the next volume.

The (now four) members of the School Living Club have a sports festival and find out about an evacuation plan for the school.
This series picked up the scare factor in the last few pages so that one of the main characters is threatened. I was waffling on continuing this but now I'm definitely in for at least a few more volumes.

Miki has been through a lot, I'm glad she finally stopped pushing Yuki. And wow, what a bombshell about Megu-nee!!!! And that cliffhanger should be illegal!!! I hope the paperwork they found can help Kurumi!

It was very good and interesting! The story progressed a lot through this book, and it was well-written.

Now things are beginning to get interesting. The girls are trying to cope with a world where they may be the only humans remaining. Their psychological quirks are the theme of this volume.

Adding a new character to the mix was a great touch.

And so Miki joins the School Life Club!
I have to say I wasn't all too amused with Miki and how she acted. I get that what Yuki does isn't the best idea, but to act this shitty to someone? No. Just no. These people saved you, and instead of respecting that some people just process things differently, you barge against it. You go find out books about the topic (or something close to it), and then you say crap like that. Sorry, I was just so pissed. Yuki never does any harm, yes, she is seemingly oblivious (though readers do know there are hints that Yuki might just know very well what happened/is happening). I think it is just plain crap to get so angry at her. To put her and yourself in danger. Just let people process this horror in their own way.
Next to that we have a sports festival (yes, even in a zombie apocalypse one has to have a sports festival). It was fun to see what they all did, from racing to ball throwing.
Whereas the anime has Taroumarou since the beginning, we don't see a Taroumarou until this volume, and even then only briefly. I have to say I must more prefer the Taroumarou in here. Yes, it is sad, yes it is horrible what happens to him. I always didn't quite like the puppy in the anime.
We find out some shocking things near the ending of the volume, I am still amazed it is Miki who finds out about it. I would think the other girls would have found out. But it is a pretty interesting thing, why did the school have those booklets? Why is there that basement? And why is x person there?
And something horrific happens. I remember how hurt I was for that to happen to the character. :( I know how worried I was at first, how afraid.
All in all, a pretty OK volume, though I did like it less than when I read it the first time.

Most of this volume of School-Live! is devoted to a character study of Miki, and how she struggles to fit in with the rest of the girls. It's quite an interesting duality, because on one hand she does come across as a voice of reason, while on the other she is very much an outsider to the School-Living Club--someone whose input may not be entirely welcome.
There are a few other developments along the way. We finally get introduced to the dog, Taromaru, and all I'll say is that his role here is very different than in the anime. And toward the end, there are two pretty major twists that I think are really going to shake things up for the series from this point onward.
Where this was a relatively slow-paced volume for most of its length, I have a feeling the next is going to be an entirely different story. School-Live! continues to be an intriguing mix of the slice-of-life genre and the zombie apocalypse horror genre. Definitely recommended.

The School-Live! series of books is well worth reading. Spoiler Alert:
At this point in the series you know it's about Zombies. It's a very unique take on the Zombie Apocalypse theme. School aged children in Japan, surviving on their own inside a school that was built to be a safe haven during disasters. So far the school is battered and a bit worse for wear, but the solar panels are still working and the rooftop garden is still producing.
In this volume the school living club welcomes it's newest member who was rescued on an outing to the mall.
