Pig flus + zombies + Battle Royale = Highschool Of The Dead

The illustrations by Shouji Sato were what originally caught my eye, and the more I saw Highschool Of The Dead, the more I wanted to learn about it.

If you can distill out the Japanese manga/anime hyperbole, it has interesting thoughts into how the general population, media, and public services might respond to open pandemic.

Of note: the 1918 "Spanish flu" pandemic (the prior instance of H1N1) gets mentioned in Chapter 2. In conjunction with how zombies happen, you know it'll be a supergood apocalypse.

Not so sure of the legality behind this -- although I don't know where a genuine translation can be obtained -- you can read the manga on One Manga.
