Because this is our saga! Sakura Minamoto is your typical Japanese schoolgirl who dreams of one day becoming an Idol Singer. She wakes up one sunny morning, listens to her favorite song, gets her idol application paperwork together, steps out the front door, and promptly meets the business end of a speeding truck.

She quickly discovers six zombie girls from different eras of Japan's history lurking in the mansion, all gathered together by a shifty, shades-wearing stranger named Kotaro Tatsumi, who informs Sakura that she has been dead for ten years, and is now a zombie herself.
