A zombie girl wants her crush so badly she literally eats him, and the show treats this as genuinely endearing instead of playing it for shock value. The joke isn't that she's undead or gross, it's that her clumsiness and desperation are the same as any other lovesick girl, except her solution to emotional overwhelm is cannibalism. It's a one-shot special that knows exactly how absurd its premise is and commits to the warmth underneath the splatter, turning body horror into a weird love letter that only works because it's this specific, this dumb, this earnest.
Zonmi-chan is a zombie girl in love. She is clumsy and careless but cute, and now and then she takes a bite out of the guy she has feelings for. The single special is billed as a heartwarming splatter comedy, pairing sweet romance with gory, supernatural horror gags. It first screened at the Neft Film booth at AnimeJapan 2016 and was later posted to YouTube, with the studio hoping to crowdfund further episodes.
