Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead follows the journey of Akira Tendo
The main character of Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead is Akira Tendo, who is currently experiencing a stagnant phase in his life. He dislikes his job and career path, lacks motivation in life, and feels stuck in a monotonous routine. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, Akira views the situation as a chance rather than a cause for fear.
After realizing he is no longer constrained by the daily challenges of human life, he decides to make a bucket list of things he wants to do before he dies. The protagonist acquires a renewed sense of purpose, which provides him with strength. Together with his friend Kencho, he undertakes bizarre adventures and rediscovers the pleasure of living.
Akira's character is highly relatable, and his adventures only serve to heighten the excitement.
