B1: *cough*
>*cough*

B2: Strange...you don't have a fever...

B3: But your face certainly does look pale...

B4: You should stay home and rest today.
>I'll inform your school.

B5: Thanks. Sorry, mom.

Box: I'm Aoyama Keita, 16 years old, and I don't really have a cold. Truth is I'm suffering from a lack of sleep.

B6: Just stay warm in bed and get some sleep, okay?

B7: I know, I know.

B8: Haida.

Box: Why am I going so far as to feign illness?

B9: You can come out now.

PAGE 02

Box: It's all due to--

Box: --this zombie classmate of mine.

B1: Uoooooooo that was boring~~~!!

B2: Shhhhh! I told you to keep your voice down!

B3: What's wrong, Kei-chan!?

B4: It's nothing! I just saw a roach.

Box: This is Haida Monako.

B5: Say....Aoyama-kun,

Box: She recently came back from the dead and is currently living in my bedroom.

PAGE 03

B1: Why are you pretending to be sick?

B2: Because of you!!

Box: Apparently, she starts attacking people when she gets hungry.

Box: Thankfully, she seems to like meats other than human flesh too,

Box: But I spent all last night being chased around when she got hungry. I was nearly turned into the living dead.

B3: You can eat this!!

B4: There's no way I can go off to school with you in this condition is there?

B5: That's true, huh?

B6: Yes, it is.

B7: And I still haven't decided what to do about you yet.....

B8: I can't stay here?

B9: No, you ca-----

B10: Kei-cha~~~~n! I brought you some ice~~~~~

PAGE 04

B1: I'm coming in.

B2: Kei-chan went and got pregnant!!

B3: No I didn't. I just ate too much in the middle of the night.

B4: Huh? But...earlier it wasn't so...

B5: Don't remove the blanket!!

B6: I'm sick and it's cold!

B7: It's freezing!!

B8: Are you trying to kill me!?

PAGE 05

B1: Anyways, mom.....I'm really hungry for some rice porridge.
>I want some that has been simmering for almost an hour...

B2: You still want to eat even though you look full?

B3: Well, can't be helped, I guess.

B4: But you're acting so strange, Kei-chan.

B5: My arm came off.

B6: You see, Haida...

B7: I can't always be here to cover for you...you understand, don't you!?

B8: I...I understand!!

B9: We should explain everything to your mom!!

B10: Retard~~~~~!!

B11: How exactly do I begin to explain

B12: About having a girl who's arms fall off regularly sleep over last night!?

PAGE 06

B1: Anyways. Why did you come to my house from the start...
>Don't you have any female friends you are close to? Like Mizumori for instance....

>tag above mizumori: Mizumori Anri

>lil txt next to her: Monako-cha~~~~n

B2: About Anri-chan...

B3: I got in a fight with her just before I died, so it would be kind of awkward going to her.

B4: What?!

B5: And...

B6: You put that letter in my coffin right?

B7: The only one who did something like that,

B8: Was you, Aoyama-kun.

B9: Eh....?

B10: The person who gave me a letter even though I was dead....

PAGE 07

B1: If it was Aoyama-kun,

B2: "Surely he will accept me as I am now, a zombie", is what I thought....

B3: Haida...

B4: But you know,

B5: Your sentence structure really sucked though.

B6: That doesn't even matter, does it!?

>txt: But...that's really true. Now that Haida is dead...

>txt: She has nowhere left to go.

>txt: And no one other than me even knows she's returned as a zombie.

B7: I understand...

>txt: I'm the only one she has to rely on.

PAGE 08

B1: Haida.

B2: I'll do the best I can to protect you.

B3: Let's think about what to do from now on.

B4: Aoyama-kun...

B5: Thank you, Aoyama-kun!!

B6: Wah! Idiot, don't hug me!

B7: Well, honestly. She isn't a bad kid....

>sfx above her dead: Doki doki

>sfx on her left: Grr~~~~

PAGE 09

B1: Gyaa~~~~~~!! It's already feeding time!!

B2: This is bad....somehow I have to get some meat to feed her.

B3: But right now...

B4: In the kitchen...

B5: My mom is cooking!!

B6: Uwah....wait a se...

B7: Don't bite! Don't bite! I said cut it out, you idiot!

B8: It's hopeless.

B9: Uooooohhhhh~~~!!

>txt: All I can do is run!

>sfx through the panel: dodododo *foot steps*

PAGE 10

>sfx: Slam

B1: Owah!

B2: Kei-chan...?

B3: What's wrong? You should be sleeping...

>lil txt next to her: You look like you're about to collapse.

B4: Uhmmmmmm.....uhhh....

B5: There's a monkey in my room!!

>txt in the center: Total lie!

B6: A monkey!?

B7: Yeah! It appeared suddenly and came in through my window...

B8: Th, then right now it's in the house...?

>sfx: Bang Bang

PAGE 11

B1: K, Kei-chan, what should we do...?

B2: S, stay back, mom.
>I'll handle this!

B3: That's so cool, Kei-chan!

B4: Mom! There is some meat in the fridge. Can you bring it here?

B5: Eh? Why...?

B6: I'll distract the monkey with it!

B7: But wouldn't a banana be better for a monkey...?

B8: What are you saying, mom?!

B9: In what world is there a monkey that would prefer a banana!?

B10: Ehhh~~~!?

B11: It's common sense, mom!! Now hurry!!

B12: O, okay!

B13: Here's the meat!

B14: Good job!

PAGE 12

B1: Eat this!!

B2: Mom, you should keep your eyes closed!!

B3: Huh?

B4: This...

B5: Is something a girl shouldn't have to see...

B6: Eh? I shouldn't see it eat!?

B7: The way a monkey eats meat is grotesque! Now hurry!!

B8: I, I understand!!

B9: I'm going to try and force it outside!!

B10: Be careful, okay?

B11: Make sure and come back!

PAGE 13

>txt above him: Haa~~~~ Wheeze~~~~ Haa~~~

B1: Are you okay, Aoyama-kun!?

>txt: I...somehow got through that okay, but...

>txt: I don't think I can take this every day.

B2: I'm sorry...

B3: Are you really okay...?

>txt: What...

>txt: I thought she was an outrageous person...but she's surprisingly kind, huh.

PAGE 14

>txt: That's right. I can't do anything if I act like a coward.

>txt: No matter how hard it gets,

>txt: I said I would protect her...

>sfx on left: Dadadada *foot steps*

B1: Keita~~~!! Are you all right in!?
>Your mom said a monkey attacked, so I came home from the office!!

B2: Kei-chan, do I still need to keep my eyes closed?

B3: .........where's the monkey?

>txt: It's over...

>lil txt on haida's right: That looks comfy

>txt on her left: Dear, what's going on?

PAGE 15

B1: Haida's parents are gone and her house was sold off. She's been abandoned on the road side...

B2: And after wandering the streets she ended up here at our house.

B3: After seeing her dirty face and how she was starving,

B4: There was no way I could turn away such a pitiful girl, was there?!

B5: Aoyama-kun, this is REALLY tasty. Seriously!

>txt: Damn...was it over the top?

B6: God this is great!

>txt: Of course they know it was a lie...

>txt: There's no way anyone would fall for tha---....

PAGE 16

B1: Why didn't you say so sooner~~~~~?!

B2: If it's okay with you, please stay as long as you like~~~~!

B3: We have a spare room, please use as much as you like.

B4: Yay~~~~~~~!

B5: Is this really okay~~~~?!

Box: And just like that, Haida easily became a member of the family.
