A zombie romance is a pretty bold play. However, I enjoy the unique balance that Sankarea keeps between wanting a nice cute romance and acknowledging the danger and horror of the situation.

Where To Start The Sankarea Manga After The Anime?
If you finished the Sankarea anime, you can start the Sankarea manga at Chapter 10.
The anime adapts all of Volume 2.
What to Expect From The Sankarea Manga?
The Sankarea anime, as an adaptation, keeps a pretty slow pace with what it adapts. This is great for adaptation accuracy, and it means that you have more chapters to read.
This start point remains the same if you have watched the OVAs too. The last OVA introduces a story-important character who will appear in chapter 10. So, while you may see some events from the anime in later chapters, you still need to start at chapter 10 so you do not miss story-important information.
Is The Sankarea Manga Over?
The Sankarea manga is complete. It ended in 2014 with Chapter 59.
Will There Be A Sankarea Season 2?
As the anime aired in 2012, and the manga is long over, it is unlikely there will be a Sankarea Season 2 anime. While Sankarea is occasionally as sinister as you would want a horror romance to be, the anime only covered the relatively slow burn of it. Slow burns often mean low profits, and unprofitable anime don’t get second seasons.
