Four girls decide to stay over at school: the energetic Yuki Takeya, the shovel-loving Kurumi, the center of the group Yūri who brings everyone together, and the spacey school adviser Megu. However, through mysterious circumstances, the girls find themselves the final survivors in a zombie attack, and continue to live at the school. School-Live! is a 12-episode horror drama produced by Lerche — the studio behind Assassination Classroom and Danganronpa — directed by Masaomi Ando. The series aired on TBS and other networks from July to September 2015 and was simultaneously streamed on Crunchyroll. The opening theme changes subtly episode by episode, embedding details of the true situation into what appears to be a normal idol-style OP — a formal trick that rewards attentive rewatching. Sentai Filmworks released the Premium Box Set Limited Edition Blu-ray + DVD on September 5, 2017 and the standard Blu-ray Complete Collection on September 19, 2017. The manga was licensed in English by Yen Press across 12 volumes.
