Is Zom 100: Bucket List Of The Dead, Vol. 2 Worth Reading?

Let me tell you, 'Undead Girl Murder Farce' Vol.2 had me grinning like a kid who just found hidden candy. The way it builds on the first volume’s quirky mix of supernatural sleuthing and dark humor is pure gold. The protagonist’s witty banter with the undead feels even sharper here, and the new cases they tackle are cleverly woven with just enough absurdity to keep things fresh. I love how the art style leans into the gothic vibe without losing its playful edge—it’s like if 'Sherlock Holmes' decided to crash a Tim Burton party. That said, if you’re expecting deep lore dumps or dramatic character arcs, this might not be your jam. It’s more about the ride than the destination, with each chapter serving up self-contained mysteries that are satisfyingly twisty. The pacing’s snappy, and there’s a delightful cameo from a folklore creature I won’t spoil—but trust me, it’s worth the price of admission alone. My only gripe? I wish the volume was longer because I blasted through it in one sitting and immediately craved more.

Volume 1 of 'Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead' ends on such a satisfying yet cliffhanger-y note that I couldn't stop grinning for hours after reading it. Akira, our formerly burnt-out office drone turned zombie apocalypse optimist, finally embraces his chaotic new reality by crossing off the first item on his bucket list: confessing to his childhood crush, Saori. The scene is equal parts hilarious and heartwarming—imagine declaring your love while zombies shamble nearby, and her response is basically 'Cool story, bro, but we're kinda busy not dying?' Pure gold. The volume wraps with Akira and his new makeshift crew (including the pragmatic Shizuka and the wildcard Kencho) stumbling upon a bizarre underground 'zombie fighting ring' run by a group of survivors. It's a perfect blend of absurdity and social commentary, highlighting how humans will turn even the apocalypse into entertainment. The last panel teases their next adventure, leaving you desperate to know how they'll escape (or exploit) this madness. What I adore is how the series balances over-the-top gore with genuine character growth—Akira's joy in rediscovering life's simple pleasures feels weirdly inspirational.

I picked up 'Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead' on a whim, and wow, it was such a refreshing take on the zombie genre! Instead of the usual doom and gloom, it follows Akira, a guy who's actually excited about the apocalypse because it means he can quit his soul-crushing job. The art style is vibrant, and the humor is surprisingly uplifting—like, who knew a zombie outbreak could feel liberating? The bucket list concept adds a fun twist, making it less about survival and more about living your best undead life. What really got me was how it balances comedy with deeper themes. Akira’s corporate burnout is painfully relatable, and seeing him rediscover joy in small things—like playing video games or eating junk food without guilt—hit close to home. It’s not just mindless gore; there’s heart here. If you’re tired of grimdark zombie stories, this one’s a blast. Plus, the first volume sets up so much potential for wild adventures. I’m already hooked!

Volume 2 of 'Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead' really cranks up the chaos, and I loved every second of it! Akira and his crew are still navigating this wild zombie apocalypse, but now they’re leaning into the whole 'living while undead' vibe. The ending hits hard when they stumble upon a luxury resort—only to find it’s run by a group of survivors who’ve gone totally off the rails, treating life like some twisted game. It’s a brutal clash of ideologies, with Akira’s colorful optimism smashing against their nihilism. The volume wraps with this eerie shot of the resort burning as our heroes escape, a visual that stuck with me for days. Makes you wonder how far people will go when the world’s already ended. What really got me was how the series balances gore with heart. Even in this messed-up scenario, Akira’s bucket list keeps things weirdly uplifting. That final scene where he adds 'Survive a zombie resort massacre' to his list? Peak dark comedy. The art style shifts to this almost cinematic framing during the fire, too—like you can feel the heat through the pages.

Volume 14 of 'ZOM 100: Bucket List of the Dead' really cranks up the emotional stakes! After all the chaos and dark humor of surviving a zombie apocalypse, Akira and his crew face a gut-wrenching choice when they stumble upon a group of survivors hiding in a ruined hospital. The catch? These people aren't just hiding—they're experimenting on zombies, hoping to find a cure. The moral dilemma hits hard: do they support this risky science or condemn it as inhumane? The ending throws a curveball when one of the test subjects breaks free, forcing Akira to confront the blurred line between survival and cruelty. The volume closes with an eerie shot of the team walking away, the hospital burning behind them, leaving readers totally haunted by the question—what would you sacrifice for a chance at normal life? That lingering unease is what makes this series so special.

Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead' has been such a wild ride, and Vol. 14 definitely doesn’t disappoint. The way it balances humor and heart amidst the zombie chaos is just chef’s kiss. Akira’s growth from a corporate drone to someone truly living life—even in the apocalypse—feels so relatable. The art style’s vibrant, almost chaotic energy perfectly captures the absurdity of their situation. And the new characters introduced in this volume? Instant favorites. The stakes feel higher, but the series never loses its playful tone. If you’ve stuck with it this far, Vol. 14 is a no-brainer. The bucket list items get even more creative (zombie rodeo, anyone?), and there’s a touching subplot about fleeting human connections that hit me right in the feels. It’s not just about survival; it’s about savoring every stupid, messy moment. I finished it in one sitting and immediately wanted to discuss it with someone—so yeah, totally worth it.
