- Synopsis
- Habuki gives up his dream of becoming a dancer after a string of rejections at countless auditions. Instead, he goes down the path of self-discovery, taking up a crash course as a Buddhist priest at Kibo-dera Temple in the mountains of Hachioji.
  Kibo-dera has a strict rule to stay away from the abandoned back temple at night, especially on full moons, reinforced by shady rumors. Despite being duly warned, Habuki, against his better judgment, succumbs to the urge to dance and starts practicing his moves there under the full moon. And before him emerge eight beat-up yet oddly handsome groaning Hachioji Zombies!
  They beg Habuki to teach them how to dance as they believe that the only way they can move on to their next life is by offering a dance to the full moon. However, they discover a deeper conspiracy behind their detainment in this world at the hands of the temple’s head priest Komei and the mayor of Hachioji, Oike?!
