Premise
Yuki Takeya is a cheerful school girl who, along with her friends Kurumi Ebisuzawa, Yūri Wakasa, and Miki Naoki, is a member of the Megurigaoka Private High School's School Living Club (巡ヶ丘学院高等学校 学園生活部, Megurigaoka Gakuin Kōtō Gakkō Gakuen Seikatsu-bu). As Yuki seeks out fun school activities every day while living at school, the other girls work to keep her safe, because in reality, they are the sole survivors of their school after a zombie outbreak overruns the city.
Characters
School Living Club
The main characters of the series are a small club of girls who prioritize being able to live while inside the school.
- Yuki Takeya (丈槍 由紀, Takeya Yuki)[4]
- Voiced by: Inori Minase[5] (Japanese); Brittney Karbowski[6] (English)
- Live action portrayal: Midori Nagatsuki[7]
- A bright and cheerful girl who is always excited to try new and exciting club activities. As a result of a mental breakdown due to the zombie outbreak, Yuki has created an idealized delusion for herself, believing that everything is normal and her classmates and teachers are alive and well. Slowly, she realizes the truth of her surroundings but still acts oblivious, though she will panic on occasions when her delusion breaks down and she sees reality for what it is. Since leaving the school, Yuki has slowly been coming to terms with reality and has tried to be of more use to the group.
- Kurumi Ebisuzawa (恵飛須沢 胡桃, Ebisuzawa Kurumi)[8]
- Voiced by: Ari Ozawa[5] (Japanese); Juliet Simmons[6] (English)
- Live action portrayal: Nanami Abe[7]
- A twin-tailed girl of the School Living Club, who is often sent out on the more dangerous missions. She carries a shovel around with her at all times in case of zombie encounters. She was formerly in love with an unnamed upperclassman, but when the zombie outbreak occurred, her crush was bitten and attacked her. She then used a shovel to kill him, and it has since been her weapon of choice. After she becomes infected by being bitten on the right arm by the zombified Megumi, she is seemingly cured by an antidote. However, her body remains cold and she is ignored by other zombies, suggesting that the antidote didn't work properly. In later manga chapters, she begins to display zombie-like behavior though she still manages to retain her sense of self.
- Yuuri Wakasa (若狭 悠里, Wakasa Yūri)[9]
- Voiced by: M.A.O[5] (Japanese); Luci Christian[6] (English)
- Live action portrayal: Wakana Majima[7]
- The president of the School Living Club, nicknamed "Rii-san" (りーさん). She is the one who manages everything the club has. Even though she acts as a strong girl and big sister for the other members, she is extremely mentally fragile, growing more unstable as the stakes get higher. She has a younger sister named Ruu, who she believes she has rescued from an elementary school but is later revealed to be Yuki's stuffed teddy bear.
- Miki Naoki (直樹 美紀, Naoki Miki)[10]
- Voiced by: Rie Takahashi[5] (Japanese); Cynthia Martinez[6] (English)
- Live action portrayal: Rio Kiyohara[7]
- A blonde-haired girl who is a year below the other girls and is nicknamed "Mii-kun" (みーくん) by Yuki, much to her dismay. She was rescued by the School Living Club while they were scouting a shopping mall, where she had been living since the outbreak. She initially dislikes the way Kurumi and Yuuri play along with Yuki's delusions, but later comes to understand how she helps them. She also becomes kind and soft, opening her true self to other members, and is especially close to both Yuki and Kurumi. She refers to Yuki as her senpai.
- Megumi Sakura (佐倉 慈, Sakura Megumi)[11]
- Voiced by: Ai Kayano[12] (Japanese); Stephanie Wittels[6] (English)
- Live action portrayal: Nonoka Ono
- A teacher and the advisor for the School Living Club who is affectionately called "Megu-nee" (めぐねえ) by her students, forming the club to protect the girls when the outbreak occurred. While initially shown to be a teacher with rather little presence, often being interrupted by the other girls, it is soon revealed that she, like the other students, is another part of Yuki's delusions. In reality, she was infected shortly after forming the School Living Club, forcing herself into a hidden part of the school before completely turning into a zombie. When she is eventually found, she ends up infecting Kurumi before being put down by Miki.
- Tarōmaru (太郎丸)[13]
- Voiced by: Emiri Katō[14] (Japanese); Tiffany Grant (English)
- A Shiba Inu puppy that was found by Yuki and taken in as the School Living Club's mascot. However, because he was infected, the girls had to throw him away when he turned, but he still occasionally attempts to get into the clubroom due to his residual memories of the club. He has an expanded role in the anime version, having originally been found by Miki before they were both taken in by the club, but is later infected by Megumi. Although he is cured by the same vaccine given to Kurumi, he is left weak from the fight and later dies.
Megurigaoka Private High School
- Kei Shidō (祠堂 圭, Shidō Kei)[15]
- Voiced by: Juri Kimura[16] (Japanese); Shanae’a Moore[6] (English)
- Miki's classmate and best friend who was with her when the zombie outbreak occurred. Forced to lock themselves in a shopping mall, Kei eventually grew impatient of spending her life indoors and went outside. When the girls finally leave their school to go to college, Miki believes that she saw a zombified Kei on the way out.
- Akiko Kamiyama (神山 昭子, Kamiyama Akiko)
- Voiced by: Ikumi Hayama[17] (Japanese); Tiffany Grant[6] (English)
- Another teacher at Megurigaoka Private High School and one of Yuki's teachers. As a teacher, she was calm and kind; but due to Yuki often sleeping in class, she would get a little annoyed with her; though, she did not get particularly angry, and only warned her that if she continued, she would have to stay after class. However, she did get angry when Yuki's friends would interrupt her classes. She was also very caring, and before the outbreak, she seemed to be on good terms with Megumi, which was proven when she decided to spend her last moments telling Megumi about the outbreak and not to let anyone come on to the rooftop.
- Takae Yuzumura (柚村 貴依, Yuzumura Takae)
- Voiced by: Yuna Yoshino[18] (Japanese); Natalie Rial[6] (English)
- A student at Megurigaoka Private High School, and she was a close friend and classmate of Yuki prior to the outbreak. She had a calm demeanor, with a punk-like atmosphere surrounding her. Takae also seemed to have quite a playful personality, throwing paper planes at Yuki with a drawing of her depicted as an angel inside. She greatly cherished Yuki and was very affectionate with her, and she was also on good terms with her other two friends. Near the end of the series, Takae (in her zombie form) was "listening" when Yuki spoke from the broadcasting room as she told the students who were still at the school that classes were over and that they could go home.
St. Isidore University
A university in the same town area as the School-Live club. It is one of the several designated facilities in the town with survival rations, solar panels, and an evacuation shelter. Following the outbreak, the surviving students at the school became divided, with some banding together to survive (the Circle) while others descended into anarchic survivalism (the Militants).
- Touko Deguchi (出口 桐子, Deguchi Tōko)
- The club president of the St. Isidore University's Degeneracy Appreciation Society (自堕落同好会, Jidaraku Dōkō-kai), also known as the Circle, a small team of women who are at odds with some of the other students who are more focused on survival. She has a collection of video games and movies that she can play using the university's facilities. She makes an anime-original cameo in anime's final episode post-credits. She left the Militants when she disagreed with their strict methods. Unlike the Militants, she does not enforce body checks for signs of infection.
- Aki Hikarizato (光里 晶, Hikarizato Aki)
- Member of the Circle and like most of its members, she was a former member of Militants until she left after having a glimpse of the thrilling pleasure that Ayaka took in the zombie apocalypse. She was a Liberal Arts Major before the outbreak.
- Hikako Kirai (喜来 比嘉子, Kirai Hikako)
- Repairman of the Circle, nicknamed Hika for short. She is quiet and kind, but was kicked out of the Militants after failing to kill a zombie by herself in fear, being deemed too weak to survive. She was an Engineering student and performs maintenance on the facilities that the Circle uses.
- Rise Ryougawara (稜河原 理瀬, Ryougawara Rise)
- The bookworm and librarian of the Circle, she often remains in the school library to read books due to her love of books and rarely leaves. She was also a Liberal Arts Major before the outbreak.
- Shiiko Aosoi (青襲 椎子, Aosoi Shiiko)
- An older student from the University who has been studying the infection on her own for weeks. After traveling to Randal Corporation HQ, Aosoi deduces the possible location of a cure for the infection, but becomes infected herself and dies before she is able to directly relay that information. She leaves behind notes of the cure in her cellphone, which the girls use to stop the virus.
- Takahito Tougo (頭護 貴人, Tōgo Takahito)
- Leader of the Militants, the more survival-oriented combatant group of students at the university. He enforces body checks on all members of the club in order to eliminate the chance of a zombie infection among them. He is often seen with a negative outlook and expression because of the stress of surviving the outbreak. He uses a nail bat as a weapon. He is betrayed by Ayaka after he is infected, pushed into a horde of zombies and burned alive to cover her escape from the university.
- Ayaka Kamimochi (神持 朱夏, Kamimochi Ayaka)
- One of the remaining female members of the Militants, she usually is calm and without obvious emotion but secretly takes great pleasure in killing zombies and people alike, as a means of having a fulfilling existence. She is adept at using a crossbow and knife as weapons. She kills Takahito to distract the zombies and escape the university, as she believes that she will have far more fun outside the walls of the college.
- Shinou Uhara (右原 篠生, Uhara Shinō)
- The other female member of the Militants, she has a side ponytail and is the main zombie exterminator of the group. She has a kind-hearted nature, but is efficient in exterminating zombies. She considers another member of the Militants, Kougami, as a precious person and has been hinted to be pregnant. She is adept with a variety of weapons, usually using an ice pick or a similar short weapon.
- Renya Kougami (高上 聯弥, Kougami Renya)
- Another member of the Militants. Nicknamed Ren, he uses a crossbow and is Shinou's lover.
- Takashige Shiroshita (城下 隆茂, Shiroshita Takashige)

Other characters
- Radio DJ (ラジオDJ, Rajio Dī Jē)
- A girl who broadcasts on a pirate radio station in the hopes of reaching out to any survivors. Unfortunately, she succumbs to her infection before the School Living Club is able to reach her. She does, however, live long enough to leave a note behind explaining to any survivors that come across her hideout to take the keys to the hideout and motorhome, which the girls do.
- Ruu-chan (るーちゃん)
- Yuuri's little sister who is in elementary school. Yuuri seemingly rescues her from the elementary school after the School Living Club leaves their own school. In reality, Ruu is actually just Yuki's teddy bear that Yuuri deluded herself into thinking is her sister similar to Yuki's delusions of Megumi. The others from St. Isidore University and the School Living Club, including Yuki, were simply playing along to keep Yuuri happy and sane as they did for Yuki in the past. Yuuri eventually comes to terms with Ruu's death, giving the bear to Shinou for her baby.

Although the antidote manages to cure Kurumi of her condition, Tarōmaru is left weak from being infected for so long and dies in Miki's arms. After giving Tarōmaru a proper burial alongside Megumi, the girls learn that the reason he went down to the basement was to search for another puppy that was somewhere in the school. With the school no longer habitable due to the damage done to the electricity, the girls decide to head towards a university marked on a map by Megumi, holding a graduation ceremony to bid their farewells to the school.
