How Good Is the Zom 100 Manga?
Reading the Zom 100 manga is like embarking on a one-of-a-kind adventure in a zombie-infested country with Akira Tendo, Shizuka Mikazuki, Kenichiro Ryuzaki, and Beatrix Amerhauser!
Yes, Zom 100 is a zombie manga, but there's a lot more to it than that. There are multiple noteworthy social criticisms in the characters' dialogues that will make you realize how capitalism and exploitative companies, to name a few, drive ordinary individuals insane—that's how Akira views them.
Furthermore, Zom 100 features some of the most intriguing manga characters to date.
It's not just about the main character, Akira, but also about the other characters' lives, including their dreams and motivations for staying alive in a dystopian society.
Each of them is also relatable, giving us even more reasons to continue reading the manga.
For example, Akira demonstrates that it is never too late to pursue your dreams.
A zombie outbreak occurs in Japan, and it becomes the ideal time for Akira to liberate himself from all the constraints in his life.
There's also Kencho, who, despite his success, decides to change jobs in order to be truly happy.
The Zom 100 manga is really worth reading. Aside from its clean illustrations, the manga is very simple to read!
There's no pressure when you read about Akira and the gang's antics as they tick off one item after another on their bucket list!
