Highschool of the Dead, Vol. 2 (Volume 2) (Highschool of the Dead, 2) Paperback – April 26, 2011

If you are browsing for volume two, then you are already likely sold on the idea of Daisuke and Shoji Sato's zombie apocalypse. However, if you're wondering whether or not investing into the series will be worth it or not, try not to listen to the critics too much...Whereas it's true that you cannot expect gold to be dripping off of a zombie genre's plot sequence, High school of the Dead moves the plot around in a believable sense- making the characters feel extremely human even in such impossible circumstances. Whether it's finding their first gun (something that's a little more important in Japan) fending off crazed survivors or rescuing a helpless little girl, there's a decent amount of action to be expected.Another point of criticism would be the character development, which comes together a little more during this volume. I always operate with the idea that in a series where the characters can be eaten in the next panel what little is said between them is more important than if they could spend an infinite amount of time in a care free environment. Either way, Volume 2 had the characters make large steps in making me want them to live.And finally, the fan service. It continues in this volume, of course, and it is actually home to the most fan serviced scenes in the entire series. However, the art and undeniable feeling in the pages were enough for me to overlook the fan service (which really isn't that bad if you watched the anime adaptation).

Enjoy this anime and now reading manga

The Manga is great and the characters are cool, pretty solid read

Just like the first volume, this one's full of fan service and killing the walking dead. While Takashi Komuro and Rei Miyamoto are split apart from the others they go to a gas station to refuel the motorcycle, but while Takashi is getting cash from the register, Rei becomes held hostage by a delinquent who has lost his mind and wants to rape her.The girls all get naked together in the bathing room and there's plenty of fan service. Rei makes advances on Takashi but Takashi makes her stop (What an idiot! He could have banged her!)And a father and his daughter are in the middle of a horde of zombies and it's up to Hirano and Takashi to save the little girl. A great volume with good artwork and a good zombie story, can't wait for volume 3 :D

For anime fans.

what can I say about this book, well to start it has been on of the greatest manga's that I have read it always keeps me coming for more, its a bummer that we might not see the ending of the story though but we can always hope for it :) if you are looking for something worthy of reading try this series, its a great alternative to the walking dead series which I also have :) and is also a great story

Well i bought this manga for many reasons. One is because from the moment i red volume 1, its a must have for me. Its got everything action,zombies and...well you'll get it when you read the rest. otherwise this is a great buy. So far i just need volumes 1 and 4

This flows so much easier, however not reading the first you'd be fairly lost. The rest of the books follow in this vein and it makes the series much easier to sit and enjoy reading. No I do not simply like this one more because it has nudity. I've grown well past the point of giving a crap about drawn breasts anymore. This book simply is much easier to read, and vastly easier to follow into the next book, this book is the reason I continue to read the series.
