Undead + Unluck

## Chapter Chronology

**Undead + Unluck** (アンデッド＋アンラック, *Andeddo + Anrakku*?) is the original oneshot on which the Undead Unluck manga series is based. It follows the chance encounter between two nameless protagonists; Unluck, a girl who curses others that touch her with misfortune, and Undead, an immortal, regenerating man who wants to die.

## Summary

It opens on a girl looking down at the speeding trains below her as people try to convince her not to jump. One man tries to reach out to her, saying she should continue to live, only for the girl to recoil and tells them that she is prepared to die. Another man, shirtless, jumps over the fence and bumps into the girl. He then gives her his home-made sulfuric acid capsules that he swallowed beforehand and then jumps headfirst into the trains below, being destroyed. The girl blames herself and tries to flee, only for the man's head to land near her and completely reform, albeit naked. The girl calls him a zombie, which infuriates the man and causes him to pinch the girl's checks to explain the difference between being "Undead" and "a zombie". Suddenly, a car comes by and crashes into him, with the girl saying that of course it would happen for touching her, which intrigues the undead man more.

At a playground, she explains that she curses anyone who touches her with misfortune, having accidentally killed her parents when they boarded a plane that suddenly exploded, and injured other people that left them with bruises and broken bones. From then on, Unluck always tried to cover herself to avoid contact. Undead however states that the accident wasn't her fault as he gropes her in an effort to channel even greater bouts of misfortune, as according to him, the power only works on a single person, and shouldn't have effected the entire plane. After being electrocuted the girl's misfortune, Undead gets excited and tells her to live, so that he can finally die. This only frightens Unluck, who runs away crying, alerting a scarred man who's after Undead, with the person on the phone calling the girl a "Negator".

Later that night, exhausted from running, the worst the misfortune Unluck can throw at Undead is a baseball, with him opting to rest and wait for Unluck to recover before doing anything else. As Unluck changes, Undead decides to cut her hair as nobody else can due to her powers. After another bout of misfortune, Undead gives Unluck a million yen so she can sleep with a roof over her head, thanks to the ATM card stuck on his head. Later that night, Unluck is unsure what to think about Undead, but does feel happy over being able to touch someone again in so long. The next day, Undead greats Unluck by groping her yet again, which causes a crate to fall on him, causing a commotion. However, while trying to figure what to do next, Undead is decapitated by the scarred man from before while she is gagged.

When she wakes up, she's bound to a chair and greeted by the scarred man, who calls her a "Negator" due to her ability to negate people's luck, and how she's clearly been discriminated against. The scarred man then extended an invitation for Unluck to join his organization, which is comprised of other "Negators" that want to get revenge on the world. However, Unluck refuses to join, and using the acid capsules Undead gave her before, frees herself and then Undead. Surrounded, Undead tears off the card in his head to bring forth "his past self", and by combing his skills with Unluck, takes out all but the scarred man. When the scarred man asks Undead why he sticks around Unluck despite her power not being enough to kill him, Undead responds that she's made his life interesting. Unluck then figures out the root cause of the plane explosion and how her powers work, and proceeds to kiss Undead before fleeing. Undead then pins the scarred man down as the greatest bout of misfortune yet annihilates the base the two were inside. The oneshot ends with Undead regenerating yet again, and then states that the next step is to have sex to generate even more misfortune, much to Unluck's disgust.
