Well it’s been a long time coming but we finally have got
our hands on the latest manga chapter of “Highschool of the Dead” and I bet some
of you may need a little recap of what happened last time we left off. Before
the two year break in the series we left our group of zombie killing teens as
they head to Takashi and Rei’s old neighborhood to see if any of their family
made it through the never ending waves of undead. I found myself chuckling at
the humor all over again of “Highschool of the Dead” as I re-read the last
chapter and it reminded me of why I love the series so much. The group seems to
be running in quite a bit of trouble as the small enclosed residential area
where they searched made it difficult to avoid zombies and caused some problems
along the way. One such problem occurs for Rei and Takashi as some of these
un-dead were their friends and neighbors making it hard on them, despite all
they’ve been through. A bit of good fortune finally comes though as Rei is
reunited with her mother and after the quick moment of happiness she tells them
that the local school has people ready under protection of the police and are
about to be rescued and this is where we pick up in Act 30. Fear and chaos are
always spread even when people are somewhat safe panic can still spread and
make people turn on one another in desperation to cling to life. This a theme
of this chapter as the safe people protected in the school still are in fear of
those around them with the tiniest hint of injury that could be zombie related,
paranoia also spreads among people in fear as everyone questions their
government and the police that protect them. Much of the chapter revolves
around this with initially not much attention made towards our main characters,
luckily the chapters are long for “Highschool of the Dead” and we do see them
fight and make their way by the end. So everyone jump on in and find out what
unfolds and I hope you enjoy Act 30.
