In a cluttered apartment filled with garbage, 24-year-old Akira Tendo sits watching a zombie film, his eyes devoid of life yet full of envy. Having endured three grueling years at an exploitative company in Japan, his spirit is shattered. He lacks the courage to express his feelings to his beautiful colleague, Ohtori. One morning, however, he stumbles upon his landlord consuming another tenant for lunch. The entire city is overrun with zombies, and although Akira is running for his survival, he has never felt more alive.

This is a unique and fun work. With a strong support and interesting well made characters. It is very relatable and more emotional than it has any right to be.
There are a lot degenerates in the comments such as hobbyreader who could never appreciate good work and don't have a high enough IQ to even see talent. Someone who gives an incredible work like this a 3 should be in a mental hospital. The story isn't simply happy go lucky, considering the scenario and the author wanting to do a unique perspective. In addition to imbeciles calling it Shonen, while it is thematically obviously seinen. It does have Shonen elements but thats as far as it goes.
Ultimately it's supposed to be a fun journey and taking a break from adult life, but illiterate children wouldn't understand that.
Rant end.
This manga is about a person who formerly worked at a black company but now because of a zombie apocalypse gets to do all things he couldn’t. All the reasoning behind what they do is just because they want to. The villains also also have spotty reasonings for wanting everybody to be dead or be zombies. They feel like Dead Rising villains.
I thought this manga was seinen and tried to read all 23 translated chapters, and got a big disappoinment. Though the first several chapters were quite okay, it became more and more stupid. Everything the main characters does is portrayed to be cool only, regardless of logic. I know that the ML wants to live a fun life and what not, but he acts like a high school boy. I can't believe this is labeled seinen, since apart from some facts and traumas about working in a black company, there's nothing else mature about it. If you want a carefree and fun manga about living in a zombie world, this manga is for you, but if you want some logic, grown-up content, this is not it.
It's a fun little satire about the adult working world, although the execution is pretty shonen (big expressions, themes of friendship and hard work, characters shouting out their competing world views while engaged in a battle of life and death)
The beginning was relatable and reminded me of Shaun of the Dead + Zombieland which is being a zombie-like worker in a society and enjoying the little things. It felt like it had somewhere to go but now I’m not sure. I’m also not digging the over the top expression...I mean it adds to the humor sure, but It felt overused to the point of exhaustion.
Wow this is actually an amazing series. One of the more unique and entertaining shounen series you will ever read. Great main cast, atypical characters but most of all, an absolutely atypical storytelling.
Highly recommended.
