Anyone ever heard of it its really cool

Basically if you don't know what it is here's a summary

Michiru Kita is a special girl who possesses Shinigami Eyes, which allows her to see a dark ring around a person's neck. This ring symbolizes the person's impending death; once they are marked to die, a gray ring, which is invisible to normal people, appears around their neck. Over time, the ring gets darker, and once the ring turns completely black, the person dies. Chika Akatsuki and Shito Tachibana, two boys in her class, both have black rings around their necks, but to her surprise, they are not yet dead. It is revealed that after a tragic accident that was supposed to kill them both, the two boys made a deal with a secret loan office called the Zombie-Loan. In return for keeping them alive, the two have to hunt zombies for the loan office. When Michiru gets involved with them, she finds that her life has just become more complicated.

Yeah I know the shingami eyes, Death Note reference but used in different ways.

Main Characters of Zombie Loan:

User ImageMichiru Kita, Seiyuu - Houko Kuwashima

Michiru possesses Shinigami Eyes, which allows her to see a ring on a person's neck, indicating their impending death. However, she has hated her gift ever since she saw dark rings around her parents' necks, who died in an accident after the rings turned jet black. She now wears glasses that can subdue her gift, allowing her to live her life normally. Although, since the death of her parents, she has felt a numb complacency with life, living it out, but having no will to achieve anything or even care if she dies or not, an attitude which disgusts Shito.
Michiru first meets Chika and Shito in the hallways of her school, accidentally tripping over Chika's hand. After she ends up finding out their secret, they initially think of killing her, but when they find out that she has Shinigami Eyes, they instead inform her that she will be using her powers to help them fight zombies, despite her protests. After various failures and meeting other members of the Z-Loan office, Michiru comes to accept her new job.
She often takes the brunt of Chika's abuse and is initially called '500-yen' by him, due to the fact that he believes she owes him ¥500. He later begins to call her a "gopher" since she often does what other people ask of her without question.

User ImageChika Akatsuki, Seiyuu - Kenichi Suzumura

Chika is referred to as "Boy B" or simply "B" ("B-san"), titles which greatly irritates him, after surviving an accident with Shito, known as "Boy-A", six months prior to the start of the series. His attitude is rather lively, but he is also short-tempered; he is often seen beating Michiru for her various failures.
Chika is linked with Shito by a spiritual chain, which cannot be seen by normal people. This chain allows them to switch their right hands with each other; due to the terms of their contract, their real right hands, which they both lost in the accident, were switched when they were revived by the Zombie-Loan. With Shito's right hand, which is actually Chika's original right hand, Chika has the ability to generate a katana possessing Shinigami abilities. With the katana, Chika is able to perform spiritual memorials for zombies they defeat. Though often seen with a short temper, Chika has a genuine care for those he defeats and often performs their memorial with great sympathy. Though they have free will and emotions, both Chika and Shito are still considered zombies, so their ultimate goal is to regain their lives once again.

User ImageShito Tachibana, Seiyuu - Takahiro Sakurai

Shito is referred to as "Boy A" or simply "A" ("A-san") by most students in his school. Due to his looks and attitude, he is seen as an idol by the female students, though he seems to not care. He is generally a much more approachable person than Chika, but certain situations and people cause him to act cold and indifferent; when Michiru first told him that she had no real will to live, he told her how disgusted that made him feel, going on to say that he believes she does not deserve the right to live.
Shito is linked with Chika by a spiritual chain. When he attaches Chika's right hand, or rather his own original right hand, he can generate a 9½ inch Ruger Super Redhawk revolver, which has the power to harm zombies with its spiritual bullets using his own ectoplasm. As with Chika, Shito's goal is to regain his life once again so that he may live as a normal human. Though they are always together, Chika and Shito are far from friends; they are only close together because if they are apart, their hands (the ones that are chained) will begin to rot. He was supposedly offered a contract the same time with Chika during the accident, but the reality is that his mother was a corpse and gave birth to Shito, therefore he is a corpse as well. His mother was pregnant with Shito for 7 years. He is the heir of the notorious 'Xu Fu' mafia.

Other Characters in Zombie Loan:

In the Z-Loan office

User Image Yuuta, Seiyuu- Chiwa Saito

Yuuta is the Z-Loan office assistant, who has the unique ability to heal. His job mostly consists of data-gathering, medical treatments, answering phones, and making tea. He likes to joke around and often pretends that his hands, which he named Ken Ken and Kon Kon, can talk. He is a zombie-loaner as well.

User ImageBekko, Seiyuu- Toshiyuki Morikawa

Bekkō is the manager of the Z-Loan office and a Ferryman (Watashimori); he is the one who gives people their loans. Although he appears to be greedy, Bekkō is not stingy when it comes to giving proper burials for the zombies they have come in contact with or giving money to the zombies' families. He is shown to be quite good at ping pong defeating Shito in episode 7 without letting Shito even taking a point off him. Since he is at least old enough to have met Shito in Shanghai at the end of the nineteenth century, he is probably not human, though as Michiru has not noticed a black ring on his neck he cannot be a zombie either.

User Image Otsu Sawatari; Seiyuu-Takanori Hoshino Guy in the middle

Otsu is another zombie who uses his real job as a medical graduate student to investigate autopsies and other zombie-related cases. Often mistaken for a Yakuza from his crew cut, sunglasses, smart casual dress and demeanor, he is actually one of the brightest in his class. He is shown fighting by using ectoplasmic flames that surround his hands.
Chika often calls him "Ossan" (old man), but claims he said "Otsu-san" out of respect. When driving to the baths and back, he repeatedly says, "Shut up! All of you, out the window!"

Other Zombie Loan characters:

User ImageKoyomi Yoimachi,Seiyuu-Kana Ueda

Koyomi is a resident of the same dormitory Michiru resides in. She is a very cheerful girl, but she also has a double personality. Unlike Koyomi's innocent and sweet exterior, her other personality, "Yomi", is without reserves and is usually fondling Michiru, despite the latter's unwillingness to do so. It appears that Michiru is the only person able to awaken this alter ego of Koyomi's, merely by kissing her or simply calling her by name.
While Yomi seems to dislike everyone other than Michiru, Koyomi seems to have a slight crush on Sotetsu Asō.
Yomi also has a special ability called the "Dead Man's Tongue", which allows her to channel dead people's words.

Sotetsu Asō,Seiyuu- Kentaro Ito (sorry no picutre)

Sotetsu is a resident of the same dormitory that Michiru lives in, however, he is an "adventurous epicurean" (as he calls himself in episode 9), traveling from country to country. Since he is also a zombie-loaner, he only comes back from his trips when his loan extends. Sotetsu is referred to as the "Dub King", the school's "living legend". His weapon takes form of a European-like axe, which comes out of his right hand.

User ImageReiichiro Shiba, Seiyuu-Junichi Suwabe

An illegal zombie, known as the "Butterfly", and an old acquaintance of Chika's. Shiba appears to be a calm, cool, agreeable, highly intellectual person, and never seems to ask too many questions. Despite this, Shiba gains the great dislike of Shito due to his suspicious vast amount of knowledge on the Butterfly case. He and Chika get along fairly well since they were best friends in middle school. He is easily bored, but with Chika in his life, things were never dull until they parted ways when they entered high school. It is revealed that he killed himself by jumping off the roof, simply because he was bored of the monotonous life he had. He is the first zombie in the series to be reaped by the grim reaper instead of a member of the Zombie Loan. He initially fought by projecting and controlling an ectoplasmic knife, but by volume 8, he is shown to be using a scythe.

User ImageShimotsuki Kuze, Seiyuu- Saori Goto

Kuze is the director of the dormitory Michiru resides in. She is also fond of detective games. Despite her obvious young age, she is quite intelligent and usually speaks in an adult manner. Following the staff's trip to the hot springs, she also has a pet werewolf.

Ah Yes, Zombie Loan. I was in the process of picking out something when I saw it. It looked like a typical Shojo Manga but...it's starting to rub off on me. It's not as typical as it seems.

Anyone who has read or loved Vampire Knights should enjoy Zombie Loan. It's the same idea of two boys and one girl teaming up, however...there are little twists that I find are endearing. The main character is imperfect and in other words, perfect for readers who wants to take a break from perfect girls in which everyone is attracted to. Though with a good heart, she has her own obstacles she wants to overcome. It is a good read and I hope I get to read more of it soon.
