Anime Adaptation of R18 Novel That Inspired I Walk Among Zombies Visual Novels Announced



An anime adaptation of the R18 novel I Am The Only One Who Is Not Attacked In The World Filled With Zombies (Zombie no Afureta Sekai de Ore dake Osowarenai) has been announced. It will be broadcast in Japan on the AT-X channel.


(For context, AT-X's offerings include spicy content like Gushing Over Magical Girl's less-censored “Akogare” version and the uncensored version of Interspecies Reviewers.)


I Am The Only One Who Is Not Attacked In The World Filled With Zombies is written by Rokuro Uraji, who first started posting the story on the R18 fiction website Nocturne Novels in 2013. The physical novels, which are illustrated by Saburou and published under Frontier Works' Nox Novels label, started in 2016 and have three volumes as of March 2017.


The story has also inspired a manga adaptation by Chihiro Masuda, which releases its third tankoubon volume on February 5, and a number of Seacoxx-developed visual novels, with the latter having the title of I Walk Among Zombies in English. Steam describes I Walk Among Zombies Vol. 1, which was first released in Japan digitally in 2015, as:


Yuusuke is an office worker with a dislike for people, preferring to do his job alone and in silence. When the company he works for suddenly goes bankrupt, he loses his job, and with that, all his motivation disappears, and he becomes a complete shut-in.


On one of the rare days he decides to leave his apartment, after a week-long video game binge, a mysterious man attacks him and bites his arm. Though Yuusuke manages to escape back to his room, he comes down with a fever and becomes bedridden for several days.


When Yuusuke wakes up, recovered, he goes to resume his normal life, but he soon finds that in the short time he was asleep the world has completely changed. Zombies have emerged in every corner of the world simultaneously, and the few human survivors are now in hiding.


However…


“Why am I the only one the zombies don't attack?”


How will Yuusuke take advantage of his new situation, and what will he discover?
