Is This A Zombie?

Is This A Zombie?( Kore WA Zombie Desu ka?) is based off of the manga written by Shinichi Kimura. This series has twelve episodes and an OVA, the second season is not in english dub yet but I hope it will be soon. In this series the main character is a high school  named Ayumu Aikawa, he was killed by a serial killer and brought back to life as a zombie by Eucliwood Hellscythe who is a Necromancer. She revives him to be her bodyguard and moves in with him.  Eu cant speak because she doesn't know which of her word may become empowered, so Ayumu has these fantasies of her talking in a seductive way to him whenever she writes down something directed toward him. For Ayamu being a zombie has its benefits and its downfalls. Being a zombie he is nearly invincible and has the ability to use all his power, but he cant be out in the sun because it will kill him. While he was hanging out in the cemitary Ayumu meets a girl named Haruna. She is a magical garment girl that is hunting a Megalo and ends up cutting him in half and he absorbs her magical powers, so she moves in with him until her powers return. One day a vampire ninja named Seraphim shows up to Ayumu's house seeking the help of Eu but when she is turned down and Ayumu beats her in battle she moves into his house hoping that she can change Eu's mind. Eventually Ayumu finds the serial killer that murdered him and gets revenge, but finds out it was really Yoruno another zombie that had influenced Kyoko to commit all the murders. Yoruno does these horrible things to make Eu want to kill him because he cant die on his own. One day while in a battle with a Megalo he meets another vampire ninja named Yuki Yoshida from a different faction than Seraphim, and Haruna pushes Ayamu into her causing them to kiss. In the vampire ninja world a kiss symbolizes an eternal bond, so Ayumu and Yuki are technically married. In the end Yoruna realizes the things he had done were wrong and Eu kills him.  What makes this series so interesting to watch is the relationship that Ayumu has with Eu, Haruna, Seraphim, and Yuki because they all talk to and treat him differently. The only thing I dint like about the series is how Ayumu can turn into a magical garment girl after he absorbed Haruna's powers.
