[edit] Plot Summary

In the near future, the entire world is struck with a bizarre malady which affects every girl between the ages of 15 and 17 years old.

Victims first experience a period of giddiness called "Near Death Happiness" ("NDH" or 臨死遊戯状態) before expiring. Within minutes of death the victim rises again as a flesh-eating zombie--a "Stacy,". These zombies run amok until they are cut into many pieces in an act called a "Repeat-Kill" (再殺).

The government has organized the poorly-trained "Romero Repeat-Kill Troops," who ride around on garbage trucks, ordered to act out the disposal of the Stacys. By law, a Stacy may only be Repeat-Killed by her loved ones or the Romero Repeat Kill Troops.

Through research, it is discovered that a key to the Stacy phenomenon is the "Butterfly Twinkle Powder" (BTP or 蝶羽状輝徽粉) that accumulates on the Stacys' skin.
