Plot

Season 1

Hibiki Mamiya is a car mechanic who has been dating his girlfriend, Kurumi Ogasawara, since high school. On the day when he was going to propose to her, he was trapped in a tunnel collapse. When he escaped 4 days later, the outside world had changed completely to be invaded by zombies known as 'golems'. Hibiki met and worked with both old and new friends as he fought his way to be reunited with his girlfriend.

Season 2

Hibiki and his team arrived at a shelter 'House of Hope' and discovered that the place hid more secrets than it appeared. The search for the vaccine against the golem virus revealed the truth of what happened to Hibiki's family 16 years ago.

Season 3

As Hibiki and Yuzuki embarked on their lone journey, they encountered a religious cult which was threatened by a new mysterious group 'X'. Meanwhile, Kurumi decided to carry on with her pregnancy despite being infected with the golem virus.

Season 4

The story takes place 20 months after the end of Season 3. Hibiki has lost his friends and loved ones who fought alongside him, and even his beloved child, Mirai, has been taken from him.
