Chihiro Furuya is a zombie-loving weirdo who becomes depressed when his pet cat, Bub, dies after being hit by a car. Wanting to see him alive again, Chihiro looks into an old manuscript describing resurrection and starts doing experiments at an abandoned building. Whilst there, he encounters a girl named Rea Sanka, who is depressed about how controlled her life is.
