Reiko is employed by bereaved families to resurrect departed loved ones for a short time, which would allow the dead to give closure on their death to the living.

Reiko is introduced as a schoolgirl and a "zombie shop"; a professional necromancer who, for a substantial fee, reanimates the dead, for the purpose of obtaining information from them.

These include a jealous killing among her circle of friends, an obsessive biology teacher attempting to bring back a beloved student, a tussle with bank robbers, and a stint as an unusual bodyguard for a dying rock star.

After a chance confrontation between two opposing factions of necromancers, Reiko manages to attach her head to a freshly killed body, returning her to non-zombie status.

She joins forces with a group of young zombie summoners, Yuki and Rudoh, who oppose the more malevolent majority consisting of a cult of necromancers led by Reiko's elder sister Riruka, who seeks "global zombification".

Along with the adversary Riruka, a new major ally is introduced in this volume - a mercenary named Jasmine, who interrupts a climactic fight scene to offer her skills to the highest bidder.
