SG/ZH: School Girl/Zombie Hunter [1] is a 2017 third-person shooter video game from D3 Publisher, developed by Tamsoft for the PlayStation 4. It has been described as a "Zombie Panic Shooting Action" [2] title and it is considered to be within the Onechanbara series: the setting is, in fact, the same universe. However, unlike the Onechanbara games, the game is set in a private institute attacked by zombies while five young girl students have to fight for their survival. [3] The game was released in Japan on 12 January 2017 [4] and overseas later that year, and was ported to Windows in 2018, released on Steam.

Set in the Kirisaku (私立霧索高等学校, Shiritsu Kirisaku Kotogakko) Japanese private institute, the game involves a sudden massive zombie invasion of the school. Just five young girls managed to survive but they have to fight against hordes of horrific zombies with a large amount of weapons from common Baseball bats to powerful machine guns, sniper rifles or rocket launchers. Each character has her own skills like special martial arts. When the girls are in serious danger they can throw their costumes to zombies to divert zombie's attention.
