Summary
Surviving a zombie apocalypse beats being a wage slave any day！
After spending years slaving away for a soul-crushing company， Akira’s life has lost its luster。 But when a zombie apocalypse ravages his town， it gives him the push he needs to live for himself。 Now Akira’s on a mission to complete all 100 items on his bucket list before he。。。well， kicks the bucket。
In a trash-filled apartment， 24-year-old Akira Tendo watches a zombie movie with lifeless， envious eyes。 After spending three hard years at one of Japan’s “black corporations，” his spirit is broken。 He can’t even muster the courage to confess his feelings to his beautiful co-worker Ohtori。 Then one morning， he stumbles upon his landlord eating lunch—which happens to be another tenant！ The whole city’s swarming with zombies， and even though he’s running for his life， Akira's never felt more free！

*Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review* The protagonist Akira was a young man in his early 20s but his young looks （thanks to the manga art style） and upbeat attitude kept him feeling fresh and teenaged。 His outlook on the zombie situation was completely different than you’d expect it to be。It actually made for a very nice change to see a protagonist deal with a zombie apocalypse with so much happiness instead of the cliche seriousne *Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review* The protagonist Akira was a young man in his early 20s but his young looks （thanks to the manga art style） and upbeat attitude kept him feeling fresh and teenaged。 His outlook on the zombie situation was completely different than you’d expect it to be。It actually made for a very nice change to see a protagonist deal with a zombie apocalypse with so much happiness instead of the cliche seriousness and bleakness。 That’s not to say there weren’t serious moments where death was evident。 No， those moments were sprinkled in there and were made all the more poignant because they were like cracks in Akira’s happy facade showing the true nature of his new sad reality。 But it never got him down for long which is something I really loved。 I can’t believe a zombie manga managed to be so uplifting！So， this first installation in the manga series successfully laid down a really great foundation for a story which hasn’t fully begun yet， but has definitely been hinted at。 I can’t wait to dive straight into Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead， Vol。 2！ 。。。more

So hilarious！ I am not a big fan of zombie stories but this one was surprisingly enjoyable and relatable。 So out of the box to think that someone is going to create a bucket list during a zombie apocalypse！

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Tendo feels like the life is being sucked out of him at work。 Then the zombie apocalypse happens and he has the chance to do things he has always wanted to do。 Things like confessing his feelings to his crush and telling his boss he quits are no problem in the zombie apocalypse。

The art is stunning。 Love the details and the paneling。 Finished the book fairly quickly。 Had a few chuckles here and there。 It is deep in such a way that it gives adulting realisations about working and life。 My only issue is volume 1 could've gove us more hook to look forward to volume 2 and all the other volumes in the series with excitement。 Currently， I just wanna get volume 2 and 3 to see if I will drop the series or follow it。 If you like casual reads then zom100 could be a good title to The art is stunning。 Love the details and the paneling。 Finished the book fairly quickly。 Had a few chuckles here and there。 It is deep in such a way that it gives adulting realisations about working and life。 My only issue is volume 1 could've gove us more hook to look forward to volume 2 and all the other volumes in the series with excitement。 Currently， I just wanna get volume 2 and 3 to see if I will drop the series or follow it。 If you like casual reads then zom100 could be a good title to grab。 。。。more

If you’ve ever worked a high stress job and could only conceive quitting or calling out if the world was coming to an end。。。you should read this book。

I really enjoyed this！ A friend recommended it to me knowing I’m a huge Walking Dead fan and that I’m trying to find more manga that I will enjoy。 So I saw it at my local Barnes and Noble and grabbed it on a whim。 And I loved it！ I cannot wait for vol。 2！！

24-year-old Akira Tendo graduated from a good school whihc lands him a job in an exploitative advertising company for three years， completely burned out。 He has a crush on a woman in accounting （who he sees is sleeping with his boss）， but all this changes when the zombie Apocalypse happens， of course。 The woman and boss are zombies， too， as it turns out。 This is a typical shonen manga， written for older males， so many of the zombies are naked （or nearly naked） women， of course。 。 。 and oh， is th 24-year-old Akira Tendo graduated from a good school whihc lands him a job in an exploitative advertising company for three years， completely burned out。 He has a crush on a woman in accounting （who he sees is sleeping with his boss）， but all this changes when the zombie Apocalypse happens， of course。 The woman and boss are zombies， too， as it turns out。 This is a typical shonen manga， written for older males， so many of the zombies are naked （or nearly naked） women， of course。 。 。 and oh， is this a bondage room！？ And Akira meets a woman who has greater smarts and survival skills than he has， though she thinks he is a loser。On the whole this is a fun and funny manga whose point is to make the anti-capitalist choice to do what you want instead of what corporations want you to do so they can rule the planet。 。。。more

I did not find out that the writer of this series was also the writer for Alice in Borderland until the last page of the book。 This makes a whole lot of sense。 It was an ok start but wish there was a lot more in volume one。 It felt thin。

this was a cool interpretation on grind culture and capitalism and what it means to truly live your life to the fullest， but also it was really really sexist。 why did we see bare， undead women’s bodies twice in this one manga？ will I continue with this。。。who knows

When the zombie apocalypse comes， Akira finds it a wonderful respite from his job at a corporation that required him to work hundreds of hours of overtime。This is a fun flip on the usual 'we're all going to die！' trope of zombie fiction。 Akira is actually excited when he realizes that the zombies mean he doesn't have to go to work today。 He'd been considering suicide so dead people running after him doesn't worry him too much。 After that， it's very light comedy manga - Akira decides to make a bu When the zombie apocalypse comes， Akira finds it a wonderful respite from his job at a corporation that required him to work hundreds of hours of overtime。This is a fun flip on the usual 'we're all going to die！' trope of zombie fiction。 Akira is actually excited when he realizes that the zombies mean he doesn't have to go to work today。 He'd been considering suicide so dead people running after him doesn't worry him too much。 After that， it's very light comedy manga - Akira decides to make a bucket list of things he intended to do and start down it， including drinking beer all day。 That leads to a grocery run but hey - what does it matter about zombies when you're out of beer？ The art's a little simplistic with so-so zombie portrayals but I'll be there for the second volume。 。。。more

Imagine you're stuck in a horrible job， working for a so called 'black corporation'， which in this case means you're working yourself to death for little pay and lots of unpaid overtime。Then， from one day to the next， the city has been overrun by zombies。 If you're first thought is you're free， and you don't have to go into work now， you're like this manga's main character， Akira Tendo。He's yer typical male manga character - quite stupid， obsessed with boobs， completely inept when in direct cont Imagine you're stuck in a horrible job， working for a so called 'black corporation'， which in this case means you're working yourself to death for little pay and lots of unpaid overtime。Then， from one day to the next， the city has been overrun by zombies。 If you're first thought is you're free， and you don't have to go into work now， you're like this manga's main character， Akira Tendo。He's yer typical male manga character - quite stupid， obsessed with boobs， completely inept when in direct contact with a girl （women don't exist， there are only girls）。And the book does introduce a girl character， who of course barely acknowledges Akira， and who is obviously much smarter than he is。Anyway， Akira compiles a bucket list for the apocalypse， stuff he's always wanted to do， and now's his chance。Look - it's all really silly， the pages fly by， and it's a lot of fun。 Great zombie apocalypse， would survive again。（Thanks to VIZ Media for providing me with a review copy through Edelweiss） 。。。more

4。5 but bumped to a 5 because the sheer absurdity。 When the zombie apocalypse gives you more joy and life than you've experience in the last few years because of your soul crushing job， we have a problem。 I love the entire premise and I hope the momentum keeps up because this one was a ton of fun to read。 4。5 but bumped to a 5 because the sheer absurdity。 When the zombie apocalypse gives you more joy and life than you've experience in the last few years because of your soul crushing job， we have a problem。 I love the entire premise and I hope the momentum keeps up because this one was a ton of fun to read。 。。。more

2 stars for the art， the story though is not my cup of tea。 I’m not a fan of zombies but I always try to give them a try in the off chance I end up liking what I come across。 But this just did nothing for me。 It’s full of fan service （which is centered around the female characters） which if it’s your vibe cool this is for you， but that’s not something I care for。 I thought it was funny how Tendo acts now that he doesn’t have to go to his job that he hates anymore but there really isn’t anything 2 stars for the art， the story though is not my cup of tea。 I’m not a fan of zombies but I always try to give them a try in the off chance I end up liking what I come across。 But this just did nothing for me。 It’s full of fan service （which is centered around the female characters） which if it’s your vibe cool this is for you， but that’s not something I care for。 I thought it was funny how Tendo acts now that he doesn’t have to go to his job that he hates anymore but there really isn’t anything else in this to make me want to keep going。 。。。more

You know your job sucks when a zombie apocalypse is a refreshing change of pace。 That's the feeling Akira Tendo is experiencing。 After spending day after day at a soul-crushing job that turns him into a metaphorical zombie， he suddenly finds himself with all this free time on his hands when the dead start to walk the earth。 He doesn't have a tyrannical boss yelling at him。 He doesn't have stressful deadlines。 He can do whatever he wants。。。so long as he avoids the zombies。Zom 100 is hilarious。 Th You know your job sucks when a zombie apocalypse is a refreshing change of pace。 That's the feeling Akira Tendo is experiencing。 After spending day after day at a soul-crushing job that turns him into a metaphorical zombie， he suddenly finds himself with all this free time on his hands when the dead start to walk the earth。 He doesn't have a tyrannical boss yelling at him。 He doesn't have stressful deadlines。 He can do whatever he wants。。。so long as he avoids the zombies。Zom 100 is hilarious。 The horror element is the catalyst for change in Akira's life。 Instead of acting like a soldier and preparing for combat， he's cleaning his apartment and making a list of things he never got to do because of his demanding job。 For the first time since his career started， he can do stuff just for him。You can read James' full review at Horror DNA by clicking here。 。。。more

This is the story of Akira Tendo， age 24， former wage slave。 There is a zombie outbreak and he has to decide if he's ready to break out of the company he's sold his life to。 This book really takes shape about 1/2 way through when Akira decides to write down the aforementioned "bucket list" of 100 things he wants to do before becoming a zombie。 The art here was great， my biggest issue was that I was given an ARC from Viz Media through Netgalley and the watermark they put over the art made some pa This is the story of Akira Tendo， age 24， former wage slave。 There is a zombie outbreak and he has to decide if he's ready to break out of the company he's sold his life to。 This book really takes shape about 1/2 way through when Akira decides to write down the aforementioned "bucket list" of 100 things he wants to do before becoming a zombie。 The art here was great， my biggest issue was that I was given an ARC from Viz Media through Netgalley and the watermark they put over the art made some pages tough to read （both dialogue and art。） The story itself is straightforward enough， but there are a couple of plot points that help drive this forward。 There was action enough that this wasn't boring and there was just enough character development to interest me in Vol 2。 It's not a wholly original idea， which is why this doesn't score higher with me， but it also wasn't terrible。 I will give vol 2 a shot and see how this develops。 There are several other characters introduced later that may help give this more direction/focus。 。。。more

Akira is a wage slave in Japan who wakes up not wanting to go to the office。 He is saved from another endless day by a zombie apocalypse overrunning Tokyo。 Now he just needs to figure out what he wants to do。 So he makes a bucket list of 100 things to do before becoming a zombie。 Some he accomplishes。 Some are just bad ideas！ Will wait for volume 2 to see how things turn out。 Plus， he might meet up with Sakura Mochi at the grocery store again！
