Lol a zombie and vampire story? I wasn't expecting this. Glad to see the official site up now though.

I just dropped Kore wa Zombie, Kamachi, don't do this to me. I'd tell the dude to just take a break and relax, but he writes during breaks...

When I read the headline I thought this would be a side story about Himegami and her encounters with vampires, but I guess this is nice. Didn't realize that Kamachi had such an extensive resume (and even more extensive title names)

Kamachi.exe going quantity over quality. And that's not the good thing for all.

Please don't tell me this is the "Big" announcement that Kazuma mentioned at the Dengeki Bunko interview. I swear to god if Index Season 3 isn't announced I'm gonna flip a shit.

Did the Heavy Object anime announcement teach us nothing?

At least this premise is somewhat more grounded, by having to duel in a virtual space, instead of a "the world is ending" setting.

He's a robot. But for all seriousness, that accumulation of writing isn't good for his works at all.

I don't think there has been a quality drop. I do find Kamisato a bit boring, but I've read a lot of his stuff from this last year and I don't really see a drop compared to the 1-2 years before that.

I haven't seen any kind of quality drop from his ongoing works, but I have to say all these new works look very unappealing at first glance. I've heard Blood Sign is pretty generic but haven't read it yet, so it might be just the premises. If anything, for his ongoing stuff, both Heavy Object and Index I've liked the last few volumes quite a bit.

The as-yet untitled story


Ooh, how about "Guess What? Vampire Butt!" Naw, not long enough for a Kamachi title.

As usual, it's just the synopsis. You should give Blood Sign a try since it's interesting.
