Okay so zombies in Japan, not a totally original idea, but the only other time I've seen zombies in Tokyo was in the book World War Z and a brief video clip in Diary of the Dead.  So I picked this up to see what it was like.And it's got almost every single Japanese cliche there is.  We've got a busty 16 yr old schoolgirl in a school uniform with a too-short skirt weilding a katana with deadly accuracy that was given to her by her dying grandfather who fought in WW2.  But forget the fact that she's never actually held a sword before, just picking it up and being Japanese instantly makes her a master swordsman.  She also races around Tokyo on a super fast motorcycle that she suddenly knows how to use better than someone who has been doing motocross for years.  And she's got a fat otaku with her who is running around and is constantly glued to his phone shooting a video for YouTube.The only thing that we're missing is a giant robot fighting a giant monster and we'd have everything we need to completely exploit every Japanese horror/action film ever made.Even with all that, it's still somewhat entertaining and it's a nice quick read.  It's silly but if you're looking for something cheap, fast and something that actually has zombies in it for more than 2 seconds, I recommend it.
