In Shinichi Kimura's original light novel series, a lazy high school boy named Ayumu Aikawa gets killed during a spate of mysterious serial killings. However, Ayumu is resurrected as a zombie by a necromancer girl named "Yū" (Eucliwood Hellscythe), who Ayumu had just met before dying. Ayumu reawakens in a world surrounded by "masō shōjo" (magically equipped girls) and vampire ninja. Ayumu is assigned the duties of a masō shōjo by a magical warrior girl named Haruna.

Takahashi's quest to walk again is the more compelling of the two interlocking storylines in this volume, mostly owing to the great supporting cast around him. When alone and mired in his self-destructive thoughts, Takahashi is hardly a likable figure, yet when contrasted against the wrestler's show-stealing, gung-ho attitude—not to mention the obsessive-compulsive quirks of resident otaku Hanasaki—this odd merry-go-round of personalities makes all of them more entertaining to read about. Like the doctors say at the rehabilitation center, "Takahashi seems like a better person when he's around those guys"—a fact that not only applies to his recovery as a patient, but also to the story as a whole. It's characters interacting with each other that makes things work around here, not just a single character struggling with life's hardships. After all, most folks have had more than enough of Takahashi's sighing and moaning—but give him a few minutes with crazy Scorpion Shiratori and one starts to see his personality evolve in a new direction.
