Highschool of the Dead is set in the present day 2010 Japan, beginning as the world is struck by a deadly pandemic that turns humans into zombies, euphemistically referred to by the main characters as "Them" (奴ら?).
The story follows a group of high school students, the high school's nurse, and a young girl as they fight their way to safety through the deadly streets of Japan during a worldwide catastrophic event known as the "Outbreak". As the cast tries to survive the zombie apocalypse, they must also face the additional threats of societal collapse, in the form of dangerous fellow survivors, and the possible decay of their own moral codes.

Is it wise to come to me
To guide you spiritually
Dead eyes stare back from the void
Reflecting what I see
I am the key that locks the door
The link between the worlds
Take my hand
Dare to walk with fire
Let the dead rest in peace
Step aside leave them be
Let the dead rest in peace
Sacrilege, final sleep
I am here to satisfy
Your curiosity
If you think it's worth the risk
To be stuck with me
There are things you cannot see
That's why you come to me
Take my hand
Dare to walk with fire
Let the dead rest in peace
Step aside leave them be
Let the dead rest in peace
Sacrilege, final sleep
Was it wise to come to me
To guide you spiritually
Your dead eyes stare back from the void
Now you're stuck with me
Let the dead rest in peace
Step aside leave them be
Let the dead rest in peace
Sacrilege, final sleep
Let the dead rest in peace
Step aside leave them be
Let the dead rest in peace
