Chaotic And Charming Netflix Zombie Series Dominates International Streaming Charts

Eiji Akaso as Akira in Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead

The intersection of manga and zombie fans is a wildly popular place to be. This explains why this new Netflix title has been living on the charts since it premiered on August 3. Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead is the international horror gem we’re excited to make some time for this weekend.

Netflix Synopsis

“Akira Tendo (Eiji Akaso) works at an abusive company where he suffers endless late hours, power harassment from his boss, and illogical tasks. He spends his days feeling more dead than alive. One morning, the town is overtaken by zombies, and the familiar landscape is already devastated. Seeing such destruction, Akira shouts with glee that he doesn’t need to go to the office anymore. Showing his innate positivity, Akira comes up with a list of 100 things he wants to do before he becomes a zombie, including cleaning his home and camping on his balcony, and sets out to complete his bucket list.”

If you are somehow not sold on the idea of a zombie manga live-action adaptation, you might be broken. You can still watch the trailer below though.
