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.

Real
manga 9
Life is about the journey, not the destination, they say—yet the sights along the way in the ninth volume of REAL aren't as thrilling they have been in the past. There is no big tearjerker moment, no heart-swelling triumph, not even a dramatic twist coming out of nowhere. In a series full of ups and downs, this part is more of a plateau, tilted slightly upward as the protagonists work toward their goals. And sometimes, that's just life—instead of something happening in one incredible flash, big changes often take place through small, incremental steps, a truth that Takehiko Inoue reveals here. In a world with so many boy heroes running around screaming, "I'm going to get stronger!", this inspirational tale shows what it really takes to get stronger.
