High School of the Dead is one of those series that many of us over at Japanator just love. I mean, it's a combination of zombies, tits, pantie shots, and American horror film references. Plus, it has high schoolers wielding military-grade weapons. Unfortunately, it's one of those series that has yet to be licensed (I can't think of a good reason why), and so you're left having to check out the scanlations of it.

And so, with the helpful guiding hand of Topher, I present to you Busujima Saeko and Miyamoto Rei, two of the femme fatales of High School of the Dead. Miyamoto Rei, the super-genius tsundere who refuses to admit that she's in love with the gun-toting otaku is made by Organic and will be retailing for 9,240 yen when she comes out in January of next year.

Meanwhile, Busujima Saeko, the daughter of a right-wing radicalist with a personal military and a heart of gold, is shown in her infamous naked apron style from the second volume, I believe. She's been put together by the fine folks at CharaAni, and will retail for 7,980 yen in February.

I'm really looking forward to the figure reviews of these two -- the manga itself is beautifully drawn with crisp, clean detail, and it looks like the figures will replicate that, garnering the rather prohibitive price tag. Unfortunately, I am not one to put figure with blatant panty shots on my shelf, so these two will be ones that I shall admire from afar. Oh, and also that price, unless one of you wants to sponsor me...
