Azuki describes the story of Gloomy Bear: Apocalyptic Love as:
A young man and woman have kept keychains as mementos of each other, even after they drifted apart. But one day, when they find themselves under attack by zombies, the keychains come to life to protect them! Can Gloomy Bear and All-Purpose Bunny defeat the zombies and bring the two back together?
The Gloomy Bear mascot character was created by artist and graphic designer Chack in 2000. Chack sold art and merchandise inspired by the character on the streets of Osaka. Afterward, Gloomy Bear was embraced worldwide as a mascot of counterculture and the Y2K phenomenon.
