Additionally, some of the dramatic moments are undermined by recurring gags or art changes. A lot of conflicts are resolved in stupidly convenient ways so don't expect much depth.

It seems like just aimless survival, but there are hints of a larger subplot unfolding. This is without a doubt the weakest part of the experience, but by no means is it utterly terrible. If you haven't already guessed, an outbreak of a strange disease has ravaged humanity and the School Life Club is composed of a few survivors. The plot itself isn't anything particularly groundbreaking, but the execution more than makes up for that. Their struggles become more grim and worrisome as the plot progresses.

You come to genuinely care about the well-being of the group. The girls bond through a common goal of survival and we see slow, but meaningful growth in each of them. Yuki herself is more complex than I give her credit for and the only generally uninteresting character is the mature Yuuri. The characters are seemingly bland and relatively static, although I attribute that primarily to the setting. Their supervisor, Megu-nee as she's called by the girls, keeps them in check. Joining her in the School Life Club is the twin-tailed tough girl Kurumi and the big sister figure Yuuri. Our protagonist is the happy-go-lucky Yuki, a girl who always does her best and cares deeply for her friends. There's an almost hollow feeling brought about by the characters pretending everything is okay. Later on, it becomes more apparent that there's an ominous aura that was present right from the start. On the surface lies a charming cast of cheerful, cute girls. It comes off as your standard gimmicky cute girls schtick, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Gakkou Gurashi!, for better or worse, changes in tone quite frequently. You're initially presented with a lighthearted comedy about an earnest and energetic young girl and things quickly become sinister. My overall impression is a positive one so far, but it's not without its flaws. and it does a good job of making all of these things work together. Gakkou Gurashi! juggles elements of horror, slice of life, mystery, and comedy Once you cross that hurdle, you're in for one of the most strangely enjoyable experiences out there. If you're bothered by the typical moe art style, then this is probably not for you. As one of Manga Time Kirara's more unique titles, you should first expect an abundance of cuteness. This manga is something of a mixed bag, to say the least. Gakkou Gurashi! tells the story of three girls and their teacher who make up the School Life Club - a group that essentially lives at school as part of their club activities.
