Zom 100: Things to Do Before Becoming a Zombie
Escaping a zombie apocalypse is far superior to the monotony of corporate labor, any day.
Akira is the main protagonist of Zom 100 and after years of tolling for a soul-draining corporation, his existence is reduced to nothing.
He lives in a cluttered apartment, earns a ridiculously low wage, and lacks the courage to express his affection for his stunning colleague.
But one fateful day, zombies overrun the place, and his predominant emotion is relief than fear. As such, Akira finally bids farewell to his toxic workplace.
In the face of this realization, with the specter of zombification and death looming, Akira comes up with a list of 100 things he aspires to do before time runs out on him.
Now, all he must do is navigate through each of the listed tasks while being pursued by the relentless pack of zombies.
Throughout his journey to conquer the bucket list, Akira is accompanied by his steadfast comrade, Kencho, and their newfound buddy, Shizuka.
