The recently released to and aired in Japan anime series called "Zombie Loan" brings an interesting concept that one hadn't even thought about. I took a good look at the series and found it to be pretty interesting as it revolves around three characters that are in their teens each possessing special abilities and special marks which is one of the important driving forces through the anime series. It revolves around Michiru Kita who possesses the ability of the "Shinigami Eyes". Shinigami means the personification of death or the image of death. In Michiru's case, she has the special sight that allows her to see the impending death of people.

With the Shinigami Eyes, Michiru can see a dark ring around a person's neck which indicates that s/he is about to die. Once a dark ring forms around the person's neck, s/he will die soon. However, this isn't the case with both Chika Akatsuki and Shito Tachibana who has the black rings around their necks but are not dead. Michiru gets curious as to why they aren't dead and they should have been killed by something. Then she finds out the truth about the two which is the other driving force of the story behind Zombie Loan. At first, the Chika and Shito were planning to kill Michiru for finding out their secret. However, they decide to let Michiru live due to her Shinigami Eyes.

Then Michiru finds out about a group or business known as "Z Loan" which is a Zombie Loan. They explain that Michiru has the eyes of the death as the rings are targets for the Grim Reaper. But they explain that people can come back as zombies. Chika and Shito are the two who take the job to kill off these zombies. The two of them are already "dead" and are trying to work off their debt to the Zombie Loan office. It provides an interesting concept of loans. Instead of a tangible loan of money or something else, you get a new lease on life. That new lease on life means you have to do jobs to pay off that loan. You got life loaned and you must pay it off.
