Magical Girl Apocalypse Vol. 08

“Magical Girl Apocalypse” is an ongoing manga series that is a mash-up of the magical girl and zombie genres. What happens when you mix the lighthearted “magical girl” trope with the sort of gory ultraviolence seen in the “Walking Dead”? The result is Magical Girl Apocalypse, a unique dark parody that features striking artwork and pulse-pounding storytelling.

High-schooler Kii Kogami is stuck in a rut, loathing the monotonous doldrums of his everyday life. If only something exciting were to happen, something magical. As fate would have it, Kii is about to get his wish, but in a way more terrifying than anything he could have imagined.

Story and art by Kentaro Sato.
