Aren't you embarrassed, doing that at your age?
I'm sorry.
What are you doing... Stop it!
Gan! Men!
5 more seconds.
4 3 2 1 done!
Okay, next up, Reba Nira. Finish it all in 3 minutes.
(Reba Nira is a pork liver dish)
Sis, doing this first thing in the morning might actually be counter effective.
And drinking alcohol before work is bad right.
Dad, you want a cute grandchild to hold as soon as possible right.
Shinsuke time him.
Are you okay?
You'll understand too, if you get married.
Okay, on your marks, start!
Miwa, it's Koda-kun. Good morning.
Koda-kun, why are you here this morning. I was asked for a favour.
Thanks! Please be careful with it.
It seems it's pretty powerful stuff. What is it?
A potency drug. I got it from a friend who works for a pharmaceutical company.
I'm glad you're an old classmate of mine.
Koda-kun, have some tea. Thank you kindly.
Is it that powerful? It was developed for humans from
a drug designed to arouse horses.
You, time!
Actually this isn't supposed to be used for this sort of thing.
You use it to time your runs right?
Just like I'm a child. What's the time? Ah!
I'm off. I'll run with you.
I've got something I want to ask you.
Yes?
16 years ago
there was an outbreak of zombies in western Mexico.
In the blink of an eye they spread across the world.
At first the world was in a panic,
but in reality the zombies were really weak,
and finally the world calmed down
and returned to its normal life as if nothing had happened.
This story, in this unusual world,
concerns some unusual governmental workers,
in particular the coming of age of one young man.
You said you'd run with me Koda-kun.
Is that what you meant?
Shall we change places? It's electric, so really easy.
Ah, no, I can't give up my daily routine.
Is it right? That zombie
wasn't registered?
Ah, we've not come across a case like this before.
Well, did he just suddenly become a zombie?
According to the report, on the previous night, he was bitten by another zombie.
That F cup zombie right.
But, isn't that unrelated. He'd been immunised.
Who called him in? Probably his girlfriend.
That's right, she disappeared off while we were capturing him.
Actually, running up this hill and talking is pretty tough.
Let's swap afterall. Okay?
Hey Koda-kun!
Wait up Koda-kun!
Wait, how mean!
Phew...
zombie infection.

Tamagawa council offices Welcome to the Special Welfare Dept. home page.
1. What's a Tokuho? 2. What work does the Dept do.
3. Maybe I'm a Tokuho... 4. How do you become a Tokuho?
Level 4: A pale orange fluid leaking out...
Memory impairment, sudden blackouts.
Hello, Special Welfare Department.
Hello? Hello?
Upcoming Event! (If you're concerned come!)
Today?
Oh Tachibana-kun. Good morning, Omori-san.
Morning. Er, where is everyone?
It's past our start time.
Ah, they've borrowed a meeting room in the main building,
they're rehearsing for this afternoon's campaign.
Campaign? Rehearsal?
Virus examination implementation campaign. Didn't Akabane-kun tell you?
No. What is he like.
Unusually for him, he arrived late due to being knackered.
I'll go too.
It's hard to hit the ground running isn't it.
Public servants always have to be on their toes... or something.
10, 11!
12, 13!
Put your back into it! 14!
Make sure your nose touches the floor!
Ah, I've reached my limit.
Tanokura, you're a fanboy who jumps about madly aren't you.
Torietsu couldn't even manage the one!
Are you alive? I'm not sure.
Why are you in such a sorry state?
Are you in charge of flower arranging!?
I'm sorry, it's been a pretty stressy morning...
Good morning. What on earth's going on?
We're training in preparation for this afternoon's campaign.
Rin-rin, are you joining us too.
Rin-rin? Sorry about that idiot.
Morning.
Still hates me it seems.
So this campaign, what exactly is it about?
The initial symptoms of the zombie virus are no different from a cold, so...
Those who recently haven't been feeling in good health
can take this chance to get checked out. Or something like that.
I see.
So what does this have to do with physical training?
It's something of an attraction. Attraction?
Ooops, on his way home from school, a black shadow sneaks up on Shinsuke-kun.
It's an undead corpse!
And look, he doesn't have a mouthpiece!
Oh no! Look behind you Shinsuke! Behind you!
Help me! Finally he's noticed!
Help! Wait!
Who are you?!
The person responsible for the daily activities of the Special Welfare Dept. Okawa Tsuyoshi.
Here to the rescue! Well said!
What!
Is there a reason for being naked under the protectors?
Well? It's Okawa's production...
We got him!
Men!
What's with that? It's got nothing to do with the campaign.
Aren't you embarrassed at your age?
I'm sorry. This is surprisingly exciting...
The only one who looks good is you Okawa.
I joined this department with the expection of lots of real action!
You say that but, we live in peaceful times now.
It's completely different now, from when the zombie outbreak had just occurred.
Ah, stop it!
Rin-rin?
Excuse me.
Ah, did I say something wrong?
Who knows.
What? We're in a bind.
It looks like the Vice Governor is coming to observe today's campaign.
What? Why is that?
There have been calls for a while now that our department be cut.
If there's a significant budget...
What? If there's a signifcant budget
there's talk of redundancies. What? Redundancies?
We're public servants aren't we. Well, even if I say so myself,
this department is comprised of misfits and is just taking up space.
It wouldn't be strange if something were to happen.
No way! Where will I go to train my body?!
Go to the gym! Ah! What do you mean "ah"
At any rate, we have to put our everything into this campaign!
Ah, but how do we do that?
A hero show or something? That's 100% impossible.
What is it Tanokura-kun?
So we just have to get people excited yes?
I have a secret plan.
She was going out with this man?
Yes. She's in the same club,
her name is Mayu or something.
Ah, it's cold.
What's that!
Eh.
Why do you have something like that in your locker?
Don't concern yourself about it, there's no deep meaning to it.
Yep, definitely a perv. How can you say that!
And so what? It's obvious isn't it.
It's for Rin-rin.
What! No way!
I'm not wearing something so stupid! Stupid, what's stupid about it.
I supported the idol of my youth until my eyes were bloodshot.
Alias Dream Ad Concept, aim for a national great woman of excellence.
The basic element of a girls unit is cosplay.
Toriestu, write us some campaign music straight away please.
I'll compose a song at warp speed.
Right. Also...
A live performance to attract customers. That's the only thing we can do.
I'm sorry Rin-rin. But all we can do is rely on him.
Rin-rin, put down your bamboo sword.
Lethal weapons aren't becoming of an idol.
Over my dead body.
Shinsuke, stop spacing out and do something!
Pardon?
Erm.
Is there anyway you could...
Definitely... Err...
You okay? I...
Where was I going...
Wait for me!
Special...Welfare...
Plaza...
What's this?
Koda sensei.
What's up? What are you doing here?
Hm, this and that. You're not taking part in the campaign?
I couldn't care less one way or the other.
How about a cup of tea or something?
I entered the department because
I want to eradict zombies from the world. I can't believe I've got
caught up in this awful farce.
For the time being, how about drinking up and then going back?
It'll cause Shinsuke trouble if his direct report leaves early without permission.
You like Shinsuke a lot don't you.
I find it hard to understand why.
If there's a zombie in front of him he freezes up.
Just recently, he sympathized with a zombie and started crying.
He's a weak man and I despise him.
Just like oil and water.
So what's so good about him.
Do you know how the two of us became childhood friends?
No.
16 years ago, when zombies first appeared.
he was still in primary school. The country was under martial law and,
he confined himself inside his home.
It's understandable under the circumstances.
Shinsuke's heart was shut off
He obsessively watched the news about zombies.
Then one day.
Hey, it's been a while.
Finally, you're better?
Koda-kun, you've caught the sun.
There was a zombie sighting in Okinawa, I went to see it.
Ah, want to see? Seaside zombie.
I think I was mistaken.
What? Even if they are dead at the moment,
they were once human just like us, right?
But everyone treats them like monsters.
But in reality they are monsters that attack people.
I feel sorry for them.
In those days nobody had any compassion for those infected,
No one took pity on the zombies.
I was a natural born zombie fanatic and he opened my eyes.
From that point, although he was a scaredy cat and crybaby, he stood up for the zombies.
He wrote a report about it and made his teacher mad.
His fellow classmates also gave him the cold shoulder.
He had it quite tough.
That's why I'm telling you.
Don't worry about it Shinsuke.
What?
I'm going to discover a medicine to return zombies back to humans, for sure.
You don't have to worry about anything.
No matter how much you worry, nothing changes in this world.
So that's why you became a scientist?
Well, it's complicated, if I discover a cure
my beloved zombies will disappear.
In that case why did you get Shinsuke to join the Special Welfare Dept?
Right now, he's pretty helpless.
I wanted him close to me, so I sort of forced him into it.
Well, when I see him, refusing to give in,
In his own way, he's facing the world head on.
Although, I don't think he's really aware of it.
I get that you hate zombies with a passion.
I dare say, something happened, but I won't ask what.
However, hate zombies but not Shinsuke.
He's just too sweet.
So this is where you were!
Akabane!
Tanokura told you to bring me back?
Well... that's so but...
Tachibana-san.
You don't have to do it if you really don't want to.
Pardon? I've been thinking about it.
I don't want you to come to hate this work.
I'm sorry about earlier.
I'll let the others know.
So please come back.
That's no good. Pardon?
I have to sort my own issues out.
As I've joined the Special Welfare Dept.
I will risk my life to protect it.
Eh... well...
If not, I won't be able to rid the world of zombies.
Beside it doesn't look good to be made redundant on my second day.
Right, I'll settle the bill.
So, why were you with Koda-sensei?
It's not like I was sympathising with him or anything.
I'm just going to act on my own convictions.
Ah, here, here. Quick, let's go.
Done.
Ah, so beautiful.
Isn't the makeup too heavy.
It's just fine! It's for a live show!
More importantly have you properly memorised your dance moves?
"Is your body sluggish everyday"
It's fine, I've memorised it.
There are quite a few people out there.
All Otaku though. In this age if you use social networking,
in just a short while, you can have a great impact.
Akabane worked hard at handing out leaflets.
Somehow or other, we might be able to get through this.
Please take one.
Would you take... Good work.
Machiruda, Commissioner Machiruda.
Good work. It's a suprisingly good turn out.
Yes, thanks to you.
Machiruda, the Vice Governor is waiting for you.
I wanted to see it too, the special live concert.
I hope it goes well. Indeed.
Excuse me, we're holding a virus checking campaign.
If you've got the time, a simple kit is free.
Yamashita? She must be out.
Excuse me.
Ow, my little finger!
My little finger!
Again, again, I'm sorry.
Ow, it hurts!
What?
Virus checkup campaign today.
I've got a bad feeling about this.
Ow, my little finger! I'd better go to the hospital.
I heard that it's usually deserted.
In order to safeguard the public,
we use all our resources and wrack our brains.
Everyone here has had a proper checkup haven't they?
Until the checkup results come out for a little while
the special welfare department proudly presents
our suprisingly beautiful new member Tachibana Rin-rin.
her special live concert, please enjoy.
Tachibana are you ok? I've got butterflies in my stomach.
Everyone, please give her an enormous welcome.
Rin-rin
Please take this. ok.
It's heavy, your lead bamboo sword. Right let's do this.
Whoa!
For your free checkup kits, this way.
Check, check... have to
Thank you for coming today to our zombie virus checkup campaign.
This check up is not only for your own sake
but for your family, friends and lovers too. It's a very important test.
So with that in mind, I will sing with all my might.
Please listen "The Tokuho Signal".
Tokoho Signal Words by Toriestu Music by Tanokura
Your body is feeling sluggish everyday Somehow your breath is stinky
So the Tokuho signal. At any time, suddenly.
Recently, you can't kiss sweetly Through the lips, peeking, a mouthpiece.
So, bleeding and vomiting blood. At any time, suddenly.
It's good, it's good.
Ah she's so cute. It would be good if she were always like this.
What a song eh!
Ah, what's today's excuse. Excuses can't be taken back.
And so, before you know it, you're infected. (Lovely Rin-chan)
Even though immunization is simple. You liked being happy-go-lucky.
Is it always like this?
Tokuho, Tokuho, you're a Tokuho Torn in two, level 4.
Pardon?
Oh no, they're lapping her up.
That's...
This attraction is in bad taste.
There is a limit to bad taste. Stop it at once!
Don't get any closer. She's a real zombie.
Vice Governor
Senpai. What?
Everyone it's dangerous, don't get any closer.
Please make way for Rin-rin.
Are you ok?
Ah thank you.
Vice Governor are you ok? Are you injured?
Everyone please be calm.
The undead corpse has been taken care of and captured,
by our very own Rin-rin.
I've seen her somewhere before.
That was the girl who called in the tip.
She was probably bitten by her boyfriend.
How awful!
