What manga is this?

[snarp]

There's a set of twin girls who have boyfriends who are also a set of twins. For the first chapter or two it's note-perfect as a slight romantic comedy, but then one of the girls is abruptly killed in some sort of accident.

Everyone grieves. But the girl is brought back to life as a mindless zombie with a vocabulary of only a few words, and they're trapped in a house with it; there's some kind of physical threat over them if they try to leave. The dead girl's boyfriend, breaking down under the stress, becomes obsessed with the zombie, convinced that there is meaning in its gestures and words, and that it still loves him.

...I've just realized that this sounds like the sort of dream that I'd have. To clarify, I am in fact describing an actual shoujo manga.

I saw it on some scanlation group's site maybe eight years ago. The group primarily worked on shounen, and if I recall correctly they posted a warning to their readers not to be fooled by the saccharine nature of the first chapter.

I don't know that manga, but it has the kind of messed up horror quality I remember from reading Gyo - when the weird mechanized fish things start attaching themselves to people and the people bloat/rot and the main character's girlfriend, clearly dead, is being walked around on mechanical legs and he thinks she can still be saved.

Guhgugghghghghghgh.

Oh, I know this one! It's by the author of Kodomo no Omocha, Obana Miho, and is called Partner. I remember reading it when it was running in Ribbon.

I agree, that's the one! Really starts off all typical shoujo. I never finished reading it.

Random passer by, but it sounds like you mean this manga:

It ended at 3 volumes, but it looks like the scans aren't complete...
