The story follows Sakura Minamoto, a high school girl who wants to become an idol but dies the day she plans to submit an application. Ten years later, Sakura and six other girls from different eras of Japan, are brought back as zombies by Kotaro Tatsumi, who wants to revitalize the Saga prefecture with a zombie idol group called Franchouchou.
A manga adaptation based on the anime followed not long after the first season. The anime received a second season titledZombie Land Saga Revengeearlier this year.
