Boys of the Dead by Douji Tomita

Boys of the Dead by Douji Tomita, introducing Zom-BL!

A truck pulls into a sleepy roadside diner. In it a pair of young men argue over something before stepping into the restaurant for some grub and some assistance. Apparently their car is having engine trouble and they need a new car battery. The cook offers his used battery and hands one of them the keys to his car before he starts preparing a pair of chili dogs. While he is over the grill, he is told a tale of chaos, violence and disorder perpetuated by undying people(?)…

Biographical Notes:

Douji Tomita is the winner of Kodansha’s 2017 Four Seasons Manga Award for the best new comic artist in the general comics genre. Tomita’s works have a western design style and mix a lot of character building and intense drama.

Title Notes:

Rare manga entirely set in North America with western themes – Zombies (similar to Zombieland).

Author based out of Japan, but regularly interacts with fans abroad (recently translated to French and they engage with those readers often).

Unique entry to the yaoi/boys love genre (lgbt manga) as the zombie horror genre has not been covered much so far.
