About Is this a Zombie?

Looking for background on Is this a Zombie? (これはゾンビですか?)? This action, comedy and ecchi series by Studio DEEN (2011) starts out like this. What the story covers: Aikawa Ayumu is a normal high school boy. One day he is killed by a serial killer and revived as a zombie by a necromancer named Eucliwood Hellscythe.

From there, he sets off to serve Eu as her guard but he happens to deprive the mahou shoujo Haruna of her magic ability. Haruna orders Ayumu to struggle against the anti-mahou shoujo system "Megalo" in her place.

This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
