The Unique Plot That Sets Zom 100 Apart 📜🧟‍♀️

At the heart of Zom 100 is the story of Akira Tendo, a 24-year-old office worker trapped in the monotony of everyday life. He's disenchanted with his career and lacks motivation until a zombie apocalypse changes everything. Instead of succumbing to fear, Akira sees this as an opportunity to experience life to the fullest.

Akira's decision to create a bucket list of everything he wants to do before becoming a zombie sets the stage for a thrilling and often bizarre adventure. With his friend Kencho by his side, they embark on a journey filled with exciting escapades, from dining at expensive restaurants to braving haunted houses. Along the way, they encounter other survivors, each with their own reasons for fighting to stay alive.
