a goofy, playful take on the zombie apocalypse theme wherein a young man in a new white-collar career finally finds some respite from his grueling daily work schedule when corporate society is brought down by the zombie hoard and the worker uses his newfound free time to pursue his personal bucket list. Thin on plot, but that's kind of the point. Nice art style. Plenty of violence and body horror typical to zombie gore. Enough gratuitous sexualization of the two female characters to be obnoxious or offputting to readers sensitive to misogyny and sexism.

4.5

Zom 100 is such a departure from Haro Aso’s Alice in Borderland, in both content and style, but I don’t mind that. This was a fun, fast-paced read with interesting reflections on the crunch of corporate life. I’ll definitely be continuing this series and my only complaint is too many tiddy shots 🙄

2 stars to be diplomatic, but I really didn't like this.

The premise starts off interesting: clear message about how wasting your life as a work "zombie" means that you'll have nothing to show for it at the end of your life. The world erupts into a zombie apocalypse and the MC is relieved because it means he doesn't have to go to work.

This is a type of humor that doesn't appeal to me. Similar to Chainsaw Man, the boobs just ruined it for me.

Spoiler

It felt cheap, a woman who the MC only thought of as attractive, who he knew for 3 years, is turned and all he thinks about is that he finally saw her boobs.

We're introduced to a female character in this book and she's drawn with lots of emphasis on her tits and ass. So, this was 100% everything I hate in manga. The only thing it didn't do was have her also be underage so... points for that I guess.

Like Fire Force, the female rep is just too annoying for me to continue on, but happy others enjoyed it more than me.
