An anime film project, titled Zombie Land Saga: Yumeginga Paradise, is set to release in 2025.

A manga adaptation that loosely follows the events of the anime, ran on Cygames' Cycomi website from October 2018 to June 2021; a spinoff series which focused on Tae's exploits during her previous life, titled Zombie Land Saga Sidestory: The First Zombie, ran in Ultra Jump magazine from May 2021 to November 2022.

In the year 2008, high school student Sakura Minamoto is abruptly killed by a truck on the morning she plans to submit an idol application.

Ten years later, Sakura, along with six "legendary" girls from various eras of Japan's history, are brought back as zombies by a man named Kotaro Tatsumi, who seeks to revitalize Saga Prefecture by putting together an all-zombie idol group that would become known as Franchouchou.

The opening and ending theme songs respectively are "Taiga yo Tomo ni Naite Kure" (大河よ共に泣いてくれ, lit.

"O Saga, Cry With Me") and "Yume o Te ni, Modoreru Basho mo Nai Hibi o" (夢を手に、戻れる場所もない日々を, lit.

The partnership included a special story and themed cards for the in-game band Pastel＊Palettes, who also performed a cover version of "Adabana Necromancy".

[31] Writing for Anime Feminist, Vrai Kaiser generally praised the series, saying that while it did not make any "focused" social commentary on the negative aspects of the Japanese idol industry, it was enjoyable for its unconventional premise and sincere storytelling.

[32] The character of Lily Hoshikawa has received substantial praise from critics and audiences as a positive example of transgender representation.

[33][34][35] During a May 2019 session of the UK Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights where executives from Facebook and Twitter were questioned concerning their policies on abuse and harassment, Scottish National Party MP Joanna Cherry physically displayed a printed copy of a meme, reading, "Shut the fuck up, TERF," which featured Lily Hoshikawa.
