Chapter 1

Undead and Unluck is the 1st chapter of Yoshifumi Tozuka's Undead Unluck.

Summary
Fuuko Izumo is tired of her life and decides to kill herself by jumping from a bridge. Some people try to stop her, but she warns them that if they touch her, they will contract a deadly disease. Yet a man then approaches her, stabbs himself with the knife she was holding and grabs her face. As he wonders what will happen next, Fuuko tells him her unluck was coming and in that moment, a chunk from the bridge brakes, he falls and gets hit by a train. As the man then regenerates, he tells her he got it and that the "disease" she mentioned was just to keep people away.

Fuuko gets scared and tries to run, thinking he was a zombie, but he corrects her that he is Undead. He takes her to more secluded place, a building rooftop, where he prevents her from running and make her explain her "unluck". Fuuko explains that it started when she was 8 years old and how she caused the death of her parents. The man decides to test it again and huggs her, triggering her unluck and getting hit by a crate full of bananas. Fuuko uses the opportunity to try and escape, but slips on a banana and falls of the roof. The man rushes and manages to catch her before she hits the ground, he tells her he won't let her die until he experience a real death. He then head towards his hideout, wanting to experiment with her and find how to trigger the biggest stroke of unluck that could kill him.

There he conduct different experiments, trying to figure out the timing and the strength of the upcoming unluck. Fuuko see a chance and try to run, but as her jacket gets caught on debris, and her really long hair gets revealed. Feeling embarrassed she starts to cry as no one could cut her hair because of her unluck. The man then decides to cut her hair, but as he finishes, his own head got cut by another man in a suit and then placed in a special capsule to prevent him from regenerating. The man in the suit then explains it is their job to police any unselected Negators or UMAs. He comments how fearsome her "Unluck" is and as he arrests her, he tells her they will try to utilize her power and use it to kill their targets, the same thing the "Undead" could have used her for. But Fuuko explains Undead only wanted her for killing himself and touched her without any fear. As she thank him for cutting her hair, her unluck came as a lighting hitting Undead's head in the capsule and managing to free him. The Undead regenerates and removes his plate on the head, getting some of his past memories and in an instant killing all except the man holding Fuuko. He puts back the plate in his head and cut his own head as the man demands in order to not kill Fuuko. She tries to tell him to forget about her, but as the Undead ignores her and throws his head towards them, she pushes the man and goes and kiss the Undead on the cheek. The Undead figures whats going on and regenerates holding the man while Fuuko escapes. As she manage to get out of the building, a meteorite strikes it, completely demolishing it. The Undead then comes out from the debris and thank her for the assist. Fuuko introduces herself, but as the Undead has no memories of his name, she decides to name him Andy. As he looks at the collapsed building, he wonders what will happen if they bang, but hearing that Fuuko starts running away.
