This doesn't have a happy ending nor is it a heartwarming romance. In fact, you get the subtle impression that their relationship is emotionally abusive, with Kurose forcing Shirotani into compliance. The plot basically follows these two boys as they are living in the largely deserted and quarantined part of the city. They steal supplies from convenience stores and, because there are so few zombies, are even able to take peaceful walks around town. Shirotani's goal is to find feir girlfriend Misaki, who hopefully isn't a zombie. Misaki's goal is to make Shirotani feirs and to remain by feir side forever. Misaki had fallen in love with Shirotani because of a small act of kindness and ever since has done a 180 from hating this world to finding it beautiful because Shirotani is in it.

Hear me out, if you don't look at this story as a regular BL but as a psychological manga it's actually quite good.

BLs don't have to have happy endings and this certainly didn't. Yes, it is dark and sad, you see manipulation, abuse, trauma, the works but it was great storytelling especially for a oneshot. 

If your going to read it, read it with the mindset of reading a BL like Killing Stalking. This really is a good story just with a tragic ending and that doesn't mean it should have a low rating just because you wish for a happy ending.

Plot is very interesting, characters are well developed, and the art clearly expresses the thoughts behind each action. 

If you like sad, dark, and psychological BLs this is a nice short story for you.

The Story was depressing but had it's explanation to why this tragedy took place. The characters weren't exactly which would make you happy or satisfied after reading, both had a depressing part about them. And a high quality of violence was used which won't be good for some readers mental health(so read at your risk). Over all it showed some psychological disorder and some help needed to characters. But for people who might like such story I would recommend it as a short, not to time consuming story to enjoy during your break. PS. 

No hard feelings.
