Zombie Hunter is a dark and violent manga collaboration between Japanese writer, Kazumasa Hirai, and Korean comic book artist, Yang Kyung-il.

It is about an ex-race car driver who hunts down and kills zombies. The main character, Toshio Tamura, was once a grand prix champion who finds himself to be one of many people on a jungle island where he goes through a series of survival tests. He discovers that the purpose of the cruel and deadly games were to find people worthy enough to hunt down alien parasites that hid inside corpses (turning said corpses into zombies). Toshio initially rejects the offer to become a zombie hunter since he sees his would-be boss as a dangerous and sick man, but soon finds himself forced into the role when his loved ones are endangered.

Poems

There is a poem, simply titled "Undead," about a zombie hunter code named "Simons". According to the poem, written by Sean Ring, Simons was an agoraphobic who hadn't left his house in 12 years. This was mostly due to an incident during his time spent in the army where his entire regiment was killed due to friendly fire. During his isolation a viral plague spread throughout the United States originating in Buffalo, New York. Simons, ironically, spent the next 12 years overcoming his fear of open spaces and saving the lives of those he could. At the conclusion of the poem, he died with a bottle of Guinness in one hand and a shotgun in the other. His final cry to the world was, "Work smarter, not harder."
