The Undead Unlock TV anime series ran from October 2023 to March 2024. It is based on the manga by Yoshifumi Tozuka, which began serialization in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump in 2020 and ended in January 2025. Viz Media describes the manga as:
All Fuuko wants is a passionate romance like the one in her favorite shojo manga. Unfortunately, her Unluck ability makes that impossible. But just as Fuuko hits rock bottom, Andy sweeps her off her feet—literally! Now she’s become Andy’s unwilling test subject as he works to find a way to trigger a stroke of Unluck big enough to kill him for good. However, when the pair discovers a secret organization is hunting them, it puts Andy’s burial plans on hold.
