Franchouchou Takes on Saga with Nine New ZOMBIE LAND SAGA Manhole Covers

 

Zombie idol anime ZOMBIE LAND SAGA is all about revitalizing Saga Prefecture—both in the fiction of the show and in real life. Part of the undead idol group’s efforts include the installation of a series of brightly painted manhole covers throughout all 20 of Saga’s municipalities. So far, 21 have been installed over the first two waves, with nine more on their way.

 

These nine new manhole covers will appear in eight cities across Saga, seven of which have yet to be included in the initiative. Additionally, Franchouchou’s manager and mascot will be in the mix!
