The listing for the March issue of Fujimi Shobo’s Monthly Dragon Age magazine on the Seven Net Shopping website states that an anime adaptation of Daisuke Satō and Shoji Sato’s Highschool of the Dead manga has been green-lit. The listing also says that the manga will resume in the same issue after a break of more than a year, and it will also adorn the cover. The March issue will ship on February 9.

I have to say that I wasn’t expecting this announcement at all. Well at least not any time soon with the manga being on a hiatus for over a year now. But it was also announced that the manga is going to be back on track soon and I’ve been itching to read that again. After all, Highschool of the Dead is my only source for zombies, raw violence, and tits all in one package. This is one thriller anime I’m looking forward to; and if the adaption follows the source material closely, this will no doubt be a hit for the year. Hopefully a respectable animation studio picks it up. Come on, Madhouse!

Oh my goodness! I never thought I’d see the day! Long time readers would remember that I used to blog this manga years ago but, as stated, it suddenly went on hiatus that lasted for more than a year. It was a painful wait but I’m glad to know that it will be resuming once more. I’m even happier to know that all the zombie-killing and booble-goodness will be animated. The only question that remains now is which studio will snag it. Will it be SHAFT, Production IG, Madhouse, or maybe Satelight? Dear they risk having a hit-or-miss with GONZO? Here’s hoping the right choice is made!
