When the infectious outbreak was first reported in Chiba, Japan, no one could believe it was real. But when Riri Mizukami (Hiyori Sakurada) meets one of the infected on the way home from her softball club, she knows this virus is going to change the world forever. 

Escaping to a public shelter with the rest of her club, Riri believes they’re all safe, but when it’s discovered that someone inside the shelter has been infected, she fears her life may be at its end. Lucky or not, Riri escapes the shelter and soon finds herself holed up at a shopping mall in Makuhari, but Riri isn’t the only survivor now calling the mall home. Forced to live with several men and women of all ages and occupations, Riri and her new “family” must work together to find ways to survive.

While the world outside the mall is a literal zombie hellscape, life inside the mall isn’t all that bad. With enough provisions to last everyone quite a while, an odd sense of comfort settles over the survivors, causing some to begin to wonder if they might find love. But can one find love amid a zombie apocalypse?

Adapted from the manga series “According to Six Survivors” by Kazune Yamamoto, “Six Survivors” is a 2022 Japanese romantic horror comedy drama directed by Ken Ninomiya.

Six Survivors

Zombies on $ale

The beheaded corpse of a man is found in Tokyo. His body appears to have been cut with an almost impossibly sharp blade. But there is one baffling detail about this case: There is no sign of blood around the cut. A young and ambitious female news reporter named Mio Sanjo (Mai Fukagawa) tries to get to the bottom of the case – only to witness a horrific plume of what looks like filthy black dust gushing from the wound. The police officers cannot see this dust, but Mio Sanjo knows that her eyes are not deceiving her...

She soon learns that two mysterious men named Kakeru Osagami (Saotome Taichi) and Sho Iotsu (Endo Yuya) can also “see” this black filth – and have a very keen interest in it! It turns out that Kakeru Osagami is a “blade master” who is on the hunt for the sword that cut the man. He has a deadly quest: Hunting down these so-called “filth blades,” which have been forged from human evil and can corrupt the souls of those who wield them. But with every blade he neutralizes, Kakeru Osagami absorbs some of the “filth.” Can he wipe out all of the blades before the “filth” consumes him?

“The Sealer” is a 2022 drama series that was directed by Fujii Michihito and Kuwajima Kenji.

The Sealer

Serial bookworm Waka Kashiwagi (Yurika Nakamura) has a problem: her collection of books has grown too large to fit in a regular house! But when she bumps into high school classmate Shinobu Kamijo (Ryosuke Hashimoto), it looks like Waka may have found a solution. Now a successful scientific researcher, Shinobu has a large residence that can also house Waka – and her vast array of books. Waka agrees, although the duo have a history: in high school, Shinobu kissed Waka while she was reading in the school library, but moved overseas with his family shortly after. Unbeknownst to Waka, Shinobu still has feelings for her. Will Waka’s love for literature leave no room for romance – or could her new living arrangements lay the foundations for a new relationship? This 2021 Japanese drama series, based on a manga series by Hiiro Kisaragi, was directed by Akimori Sakemi, Yuta Yoshikawa, and Yui Matsuzaki.
