| ~ Ayumu Aikawa |
Ayumu Aikawa is the main protagonist of the light novel and anime series Is this a Zombie?. He is a 16-year old boy who was murdered by a serial killer and lives on as a zombie resurrected by Eucliwood Hellscythe. He is currently living with her, along with the Magical Garment Girl Haruna and vampire ninja Seraphim.
He is voiced by Junji Majima in the Japanese version of the anime, and by Austin Tindle in the English version of the anime.
Story[]
Ayumu has since been resurrected as a zombie by necromancer-knight Eucliwood Hellscythe ("Eu"), who is now living at his house. Relaxing in the cemetery one night while searching for his killer, Ayumu witnesses a girl named Haruna fending off a giant monster with her magical chainsaw. She is a magical garment girl, having come from the magical world. As Haruna attempts to erase his memories, she ends up erasing her own powers (and outfit) by mistake. The Megalo won't cease attacking, though, and as Haruna is quick to discover, her powers have transferred to Ayumu instead. Ayumu is now a zombie and a magical girl, and hijinks ensue.
