1. Good Morning SAGA 2018.10.04
In the year 2008, Sakura Minamoto is just beginning her second year of high school. In high spirits, she runs out of her front door only for her life to be tragically cut short by Truck-kun.

The man responsible for this situation is Kotaro Tatsumi and has revived Sakura along with the other girls Saki, Junko, Yugiri, Lily, Ai and Tae in order to form an idol group that will be able to revitalize the Saga Prefecture.

They encounter Sakura's old friend the policeman and after realizing the open world is too dangerous as zombies, they return to the mansion. As the show at Saga Castle is predictably a disaster for the mostly inexperienced idols, it's up to manager Kotaro to save the day.

Manager Kotaro wants to put on a concert for over 500 people at Arpino featuring Franchouchou all by themselves. To prepare them for this, he drops them off alone in the mountains so they can engage in some training montage he has likely imagined.

The final straw comes when Sakura is dismembered by the boar the other girls are hunting. Back at practice at the mansion, Sakura is out of sync with everyone, thinking she needs to put in more effort to make up for their lost time. Taking time to reflect, she realizes she is the only one out of sync and rejoins the group as part of Franchouchou again. With renewed spirits, Sakura runs out from the mansion one bright and sunny morning ready to take the world by storm.
