Zombie Land Saga: Yumeginga Paradise Takes a New Stellar Stage
Sakura Minamoto was once a happy and prosperous girl. She tried her best and displayed her potential to bring happiness to others. However, a sinister force appeared to snuff out the light of potential that radiated within her. The Curse of SAGA caused her tragic life and premature death. Sakura’s story didn’t quite end there. She joined other girls whose lives the curse had stolen and rose as a zombie. The Zombie Land Saga Project stands to bring an end to the Curse of SAGA and save their prefecture. To do that, these undead girls will have to sing and dance their hearts out as the idols of Franchouchou.
Franchouchou continues to rise as an idol group by becoming ambassadors for the upcoming Saga Expo. They’ll headline the main event with a live performance at the Saga Arena. They postpone the event after an alien invasion darkens the skies. The undead idols must rally a defense and save their home from space invaders. The idols’ trials increase when Tae awakens her true self and heads out alone to face their enemies.
