A unique take on a zombie story, this was an interesting read and would likely make a cool anime if they ever convert it.

The Zombie apocalypse has never seemed so appealing as when your stuck in a never-ending cycle of work at a soul-destroying job! Akira is working for a "dark corporation", where he is forced to work unpaid overtime in an office full of other miserable folks. Now that the zombie apocalypse is in full swing, he's living his best life, riding motorcycles, drinking beer, and working on his bucket list. A fresh take on the zombie genre, and I highly recommend this to fans of action/comedy manga!

Zom 100 was a wild ride through the end of the world! The characters were fun and unique and played off of each other really well. Looking forward to the next in the series!

A funny manga abouy the end of the world, zombies are always a fun plot line and with the addition of a wage slave finally getting freedom. This manga has all the high points you are looking for.

Zom 100 is so fun, funny and cute! This story makes a zombie apocalypse seem almost enjoyable! Instead of focusing on big heroic characters slaying their way through hordes of zombies, Zom 100 asks, "What would the average salaryman do in a zombie apocalypse?" Take a day off, of course!

A zombie apocalypse manga that mocks Japanese corporate work culture and celebrates life. Three years ago, Akira Tendo was a bright-eyed graduate, ready to climb his way up the corporate ladder. Now, broken by a grueling workplace culture, he lives as a metaphorical zombie. But the arrival of literal zombies becomes Akira's salvation. Now that he doesn't have to work, he commits himself to doing all things his been missing out on. Confess your feelings to his, now zombified, office crush? Check! Zoom your way across town to drink beer with an old friend? No problem! Akira's bombastic approach to joyfully live in a collapsing world will have readers gleefully cheering him on.

A burnt out office worker is on the verge of completely falling apart when a zombie apocalypse suddenly hits. While the rest of the world is panicking (as most people realistically would), Akira is just glad he doesn't have to go back to work. He decides to make a bucket list before he becomes a zombie, with list items such as confessing to the girl he loved, riding a motorcycle, skydiving, and more. A laugh out loud take on the zombie trope, Akira is living his best life during the end days.
I would probably rate this as a graphic novel for adults as the content is more mature; dealing in dark business practices, quite a bit of female nudity, some raunchy scenes here and there, and plenty of zombie gore. I anticipate some violence to come. While you might not carry this in the teen section of your library, it has a bit of a Shaun of the Dead feel to it with a lot of dark humor. I've enjoyed it so far and I'll probably try out the next volumes.

This is actually a pretty fun story. I could've done with less emphasis on the female body/male gaze, but I suppose there's only so much you can ask of this sort of comic. I enjoy the irony of a corporate slave avoiding becoming a zombie and then learning to live his life to the fullest.

I think this would be good for anyone who doesn't want something too scary in the horror genre. It read very much like a horror comedy.
I quite enjoyed the illustration style, it was detailed but not to the point where it became overwhelming to the eye.
As a first issue there really wasn't much about what happened to cause a zombie outbreak in Tokyo but I liked the humour of the main character preferring to deal with a zombie apocalypse rather than having to go back to work in an office.
There were a few quite sexist comments that I didn't like, they really didn't add anything to the story other than making me like the main character less, so I don't think they needed to be included.

This is a powerful start to a new series! The story about an office worker who works for a horrible business that treats its workers like tools is one many young people and adults can relate to. Then, the amazing twist of our main character LOVING the fact the zombie apocalypse has started is super refreshing! I highly recommend this series for any adult graphic novel collection!

What better time to quit your soul-crushing, time-eating, low-wage, and law-breaking job than the beginning of a zombie apocalypse? That's Akira's mindset, and it makes for a surprisingly hilarious first volume of manga. If you aren't bothered by copious amounts of gore and some partial nudity (lots of topless female zombies with breasts whose perkiness defy belief), definitely give this one a try.

Thank you to NetGalley and Viz Media for a free advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was a really fun read, and I enjoyed following a protagonist who's not the chosen one. The main character, Akira Tendo, is an unlikely protagonist. By all accounts, his impulsive, risky nature makes him one of the least likely candidates to survive a zombie apocalypse, yet he thrives in this new world void of hustle culture and unpaid overtime. I'm interested in seeing if/how he grows as a character (since he is quite naive, uninformed, and a bit misogynistic) as new challenges present themselves, but this first volume was a fun, fast-paced adventure that I'll enjoy reading again and again.

Love how this really twists on the whole zombie apocalypse theme. It's very much Walking Dead meets Shawn of the Dead, but with the anime/manga humour instead. Really appreciated this take.

I am not the type of person who will dive head first into anything involving zombies but this manga was amazing. It focuses more on the comedy aspect of this apocalyptic world. The main character takes this dystopic world and makes it his utopia. After finishing this manga I jumped right into the next volume wanting more.

Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead volume 1 was a good start to a new series. I enjoyed reading the crazy plot and the main character's view on life.

A man who hates his job really comes alive during the zombie apocalypse. It was a good premise but it gets old really quick. He was a zombie during normal times and is living during the apocalypse. The main character’s motivation gets old very quickly and it just seems like a repeated plot throughout the story. He just annoyed me. I cared more for the woman at the end he meets in the Convenience mart than the main character

I was really surprised at how fun this was and how much I really liked the main character Akira. You would think that a graphic novel about Zombies it would be a bit on the gore or angst side but it seems to just be a fun and while ride. Akira starts off as a naive, optimistic guy who starts getting the life sucked out of him when by his new corporate job at a black corporation. Eventually, he awakens one day to find out Zombies have invaded Tokyo.

Any normal person would panic, but not Akira. He's been invigorated by his new found sense of freedo of being able to actually do the things he wants. So, he creates a bucket list of 100 things to try to do before he becomes a Zombie. I like the irony of being a corporate zombie, lacking freedom to do anything but work, then to suddenly be free by a actual zombie apocalypse.

Overall, a surprisingly fun, fast-paced story.

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!

*I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*

So, I picked this one up to see if I should add it to my YA collection. The answer? No. But that doesn't mean it isn't good! In fact, I had a fantastic time reading this one and laughed A LOT. This would be great in the adult section, especially for New Adults.

Akira is happy about the zombie apocalypse because it means he finally gets a day off. Funny, yes, but also a real look at what some people, a lot of people, have to deal with. It made me think about how many other overworked people would find the apocalypse relaxing -- at least at first.

But, I'm calling this more of an adult or new adult book because of some of the nudity, drinking, and the problems the main character dealt with in his life.

Really enjoying this one. The characters were very memorable as was the artwork!! I'm very excited to see where the plot goes from here!
