It's been a while since I read the last volume, but I remembered that the original group is now on a college campus with a couple new groups of survivors they found. Now all those groups seem to be turning on each other, but I'm never quite clear on which person is in which group or, really, who any of them are. Too many people with no personalities fighting one another equals confusing mess.

Doing a re-read of this volume and #9. Lots of talk, but also lots of action (at least in the end) in this volume.

This may be a bit chaotic, so bear with me. *is still tired from staying up late to read The Truth About Happily Ever After*

Not a new read for me. I am following this series. Each time a chapter comes out I read it. But I decided to re-read this volume and the next one, for 1 reason. Since there are quite some exciting events coming up, and I want to freshen up my memory.

This was one was a bit boring, at least in the beginning. Sorry, while I will still rate the volume high (5 stars), I still miss the old volumes. The ones in which our group was just our group. They were living at their school. Now they are at the university and while a lot of things are going right (hence me being bored a bit, I come for the zombies), there is still enough that will end badly. There is a lot of tension between the two groups that already live in the school, and add to that the Kurumi is going slowly, but steadily, towards being a zombie. Add to that Rii-san and her "sister" (which indeed was "solved" in this one, though I think everyone who reads this one knew it already). I did quite like that Rii seems to slowly realise THAT about her sister. It is still locked up behind a wall in her memories, but I hope that she will one day face whatever is lurking in that memory (though we can already guess).

Of course there are still mysteries about the zombie virus (though in the latest chapters that I read we have had quite a few answers). In this manga we see a guy infected walking around, yet, according to everyone, he never suffered wounds, or any other obvious signs that he would become a zombie. Of course, people panic. I would do the same if someone just became a zombie without showing any of the signs or being bitten.

I am not sure if I approve of what Kurumi did. She had to do it to save her life, but I am not sure if I like it. I am worried about Kurumi as well. The medicine worked up to a point, but it seems she is now really going the wrong way. She is still maintaining some form of humanity, but I wonder for how long.

The latter chapters in this volume are all about that one group undertaking action. Which made me dislike them even more. It is true what they say, in the zombie apocalypse it isn't the zombies who are the deadliest. Oh no, it is the survivors. Some just go a little bit craycray in their minds (and no, not in the way that Rii or Yuki do, but something much much worse).

Ah, yes, this volume ended on a cliffhanger. I still remember that, so typical of the author. :P

All in all, I will be re-reading volume 9's chapters as well, and I will probably write a review for that as well. I do wonder how long this series will go on for. Given the latest chapters and what happens there, I think we still got a long road to walk/stumble before the end.

OH GOD ... WHAT A ENDING !!!
I'm so angry with this FUCKED group!
Anyway ... The review lol
The girls are getting ready to look for the laboratory where the virus probably originated, but the other faction goes out to look for them to interrogate them.
One of the members tries to kidnap Kurumi, but she is a lot smarter and takes him to a place full of zombies.
The interesting thing is that the zombies don't detect Kurumi and the vaccine she took in the other volume doesn't seem to be having much effect, as some strange things are occurring with her.
I wonder if she will turn ... I hope not. I really like her character.
Anyway ... Finally the mystery about Rii's sister has been solved!
This cliffhanger surprised me. Can't wait to read the next volume

Hey, you know what I shouldn't be reading during a pandemic? This series. Or any other zombie series that does such a spectacular job of framing the zombie apocalypse as a pandemic, albeit in the case of the book one that's very likely man-made as opposed to COVID-19, which clearly isn't.

So, uh, yeah, I still have to catch up in this for work, but it's going to be at a very measured pace. Still, I'm very proud of myself for figuring out back when she came in that Ruu wasn't real, but a creation of Rii's guilt and sorrow. Definitely well done on the creators' part.

4.5 stars.

[Nicholas Driscoll · Rating 3 out of 5]

I don’t know, this manga still is just all right for me. The drama between the two factions feels flimsy, which doesn’t mean it wouldn’t happen, but I don’t really care much. I am curious about what will happen with Kurumi anyway. Overall still feels a bit shallow, but interesting enough to make me want to keep reading.

4,5

[Sesana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oof. I think every zombie story, if allowed to go on long enough, will eventually have at least one story where the survivors turn against each other. Well, here it is, along with a few other big moments. Loved the way Ruu-chan's storyline was handled. I do wish there had been another volume at the college before things started to go down. The cast has expanded a lot, and I'm still figuring out who all these new people are.

[Amory · Rating 4 out of 5]

Kurumi's arc in this was terrifying and brilliant and almost made me want to give this five stars but having to keep track of the amount of characters in this now is making it a little tiring to get through each volume.

[Laura · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was finally revealed that Ruu-chan wasn't real but was the teddy bear all along , just like I predicted when she was first introduced. It was very easy to figure out straight away as a similar thing happened with Yuki and the teacher.

Ruu... T^T

[R · Rating 5 out of 5]

So awesome, and a cliffhanger in many ways!

[Krystal Caloia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oh wow! Poor Kurumi! And Ruu-chan!!!! What a cliffhanger, I thought that was a little too convenient......poor Yuuri, she just missed her sister so much.....

Quedé loca con la hermana 💀
No puedo creer que todo este tiempo haya sido un oso, el oso que dejo Yuki en el salón de niños pequeños. Y no una niña de verdad

[David Doel · Rating 3 out of 5]

A little better than volume 7, but seems to have lost the original cast.

Fuerte de leer este tomo

[Keith Hendricks · Rating 5 out of 5]

Less college days than Lord of the Flies, the clique wars of School-Live Volume 8 spawn a new wave of human monsters, at times seeming a commentary on The Walking Dead’s zombie-infected, but very human, battlefield.
