51 Ways to Save Her

51 Ways to Save Her is a Japanese seinen manga series written and illustrated by Usamaru Furuya. It was serialized in Shinchosha's Comic Bunch magazine between May 26, 2006, and August 17, 2007, finishing at five volumes. CMX purchased the English rights but never released it due to the imprint's cancellation. It was released in French by Marvel Panini France, and in Chinese by Tong Li Publishing.
Though the title of the French release is nearly identical to the anime series Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 and the latter lists 51 Ways to Save Her as a reference for the anime, the stories are dissimilar other than the basic concept of people surviving a large earthquake in Tokyo.

Synopsis

While looking for a job at a TV station in Odaiba, college senior Jin Mishima encounters his former classmate Nanako Okano, dressed in gothic Lolita, who tries to attend a concert but finds out that her friends tricked her about the concert ticket out of jealousy. Jin and Nanako bump into each other and are reunited—previously being junior high classmates—moments before an earthquake of Richter Scale 8.1 turns the island, as well as the entire Tokyo metropolitan area, into ruins.
