Zombie 100

Add to List

(disclaimer: this is my first review, so I might not be very good)
STORY: 7
the story is not too good or too bad atm. I do like the whole black company trauma that was going on in the first chapter tho. also, I'm not really a huge fan of zombie stories, but it's not sure yet if this is a comedy or a serious zombie apocolypse story. until that's made clear, it'll stay a 7 for me.
also, the dialogue can be pretty interesting sometimes. like in chapter 11
ART: 8
the art-style looks kinda cliche with a unique twist to it. I don't know how to describe it exactly, but it kinda looks shounen and at the same time doesn't.
CHARACTER: 8
the characters aren't amazing or something, but they do have pretty good character development.
ENJOYMENT: 8
I'm really enjoying this manga right now. It has great funny moments and knows how to bring tension with interesting battles.
OVERALL: 8
till now the manga has a pretty funny story and it has the potential to turn into a hilarious comedy or (if they give an explanation for the apocolypse) a great seinen (with shounen elements). for now we just have to wait.
edit: nevermind the manga went downhill a bit. there's a dumb villain now, the characters are getting more shounen and it seems like they decided to be serious with the story, but not to give even a hint of eventually showing us how the zombie apocolypse started. maybe I shouldn't review shit when they're still at beginning?

overall: 7

As somebody said... it went from 100 to 0.
This is manga is about survival of black company employee during zombie apocalypse and trying to fullfill list of wishes.
The art is decent, the story has shounen tropes in it, meaning protagonist being naive/saintly, villains being on occasion nearly comical and inhuman and so on. It was a decent read for duration of manga, touching on tougher subjects, not overly silly and with plenty of black humor in it, but around chapter 17 they introduced a story turn which, as far as I can tell, flushed everything they were building for down the drain. A pity.
In greater detail:
Story: 4/10.
It is mostly decent not super realistic but with shounen-like overtones (exagerrated characters, mostly, either overly good or overly malevolent), all the way down to chapters 16-17. Past that point they screwed up.
Art: 6/10:
It is kinda unique and fairly detailed. There's slight resemblance of 'Mairimashita, Iruma Kun', but it is not very strong, and in general the art is somewhere halfway between comical and serious.
Characters: 4/10:
Exagerrated emotions/motivations, shounen style. It isn't truly horrible, but shounen-like behaviors with preachign, overly moral or overly malevolent characters is definitely there.
Enjoyment: 4/10:
It was mostly okay, but after chapter 17 I decided to drop it, as the direction story took felt too uninspired to me.
Overall: 4/10.
Maybe worth checking out up to chapter 15 or so.

I know the guidelines say to not comment on others reviews but this is not it for me. I enjoyed this work alot and anyone who can appreciate strong realistic themes with high levels of enjoyment can agree with me. The main character is a strong representation of freedom and the true purpose of the life given to us. This is reflected through heavy real life topics like 'social pressure, regret, anxiety, fear and depression' with very fun but strong execution. This manga teaches us to not only value our life but to appreciate the moment. Before i get into ratings i ask you this, 'If you are living mindlessly, by order and what's in front of you, what makes you fundamentally different from the zombies? This Manga attacks the concept of sense of self and it really makes you think about the true priorities in life and what to take for granted.
Overall: I gave this a 9 as the pacing was good, chapters are extremely enjoyable, and characters are not only very strong, but superbly realistic. Art is good and character designs are diverse from one another, with very nice visuals and facial expressions that will make you pee from laughter. Themes are strong and the antagonist are integral to the story. Must read for those who appreciate what i listed above
