Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead, Vol. 17
After spending years slaving away for a soul-crushing company, Akira’s life has lost its luster. But when a zombie apocalypse ravages his town, it gives him the push he needs to live for himself. Now Akira’s on a mission to complete all 100 items on his bucket list before he...well, kicks the bucket.
Doubling back from Kyushu, the group finds itself in Kagoshima, headquarters of Space W. Despite the zombie pandemic, Space W’s president, Ukaji, is chasing his dreams of bringing humanity to the stars! With the company's first unmanned shuttle launch imminent, the gang can’t help but get swept up in his dramatic stories about the possibilities that space holds...till zombies show up, that is! But that gives Akira and the gang an idea that is out of this world!

Il lancio spaziale in piena apocalisse zombi ci può anche stare, essendo Zombie 100 prevalentemente una serie umoristica, ma le due schede di Takemina e Kencho invertite ad inizio volume mi hanno fatto proprio andare la lettura di traverso questa volta.
Tre stelle e mezzo ridotte a tre.

If you want zombies and action and fanservice, this continues to get the job done. For me, it’s much more of a mixed bag, unfortunately because of the real world as much as anything else.
At this point in the series, they might as well go into space. If the Fast & Furious movies can do it, why not this series, which is even less grounded in reality? No reason, basically, and thus here we go.
Some of the art, especially the space sections proper, is very well drawn. When they have to do a space walk, it looks fantastic when they exit out the first time. It makes things move along better and offers fantastic eye candy.
I’m mostly not in love with the way this series spends its time blowing smoke up the ass of private sector space exploration, however, making it out to be this amazing advancement and yay for living on the moon and oh the business opportunities will be grand.
The reality is that all this is the purview of the very rich and nobody else, so acting like this will be accessible any time soon, if ever, is disingenuous at best. If you’re an asshole billionaire you might find this very affirming. I do not.
The story also brings back the Resident Evil rip-offs from before and that’s… not a great idea. It makes the series seem utterly creatively bankrupt to imply, yes, a man-made virus and blah blah. This was better when it stood on its own two feet, not the shoulders of something else.
And is it really amazing that there are means to travel to space when you have a literal robot butler travelling with you? There’s the real technological breakthrough of that particular timeline.
It’s a fast-moving adventure that lacks any excitement because nobody is in any real danger, as usual. If this series does it for you, and you can handle the space stuff, go forth and enjoy.
2.5 stars - rate higher if you have yet to experience my unabashed cynicism for late-stage capitalism, but even then this is wackier than usual for something pretty wacky. And not in a good way.

I swear, we really are just spinning our wheels now. Is Shogakukan going to pull the plug at any moment now?
Because despite there being a literal shark to jump earlier in the series, THIS boneheaded move HAS to be the biggest shark jump of the whole dang series.
Because due to happenstance and shenanigans, THE WHOLE CREW IN SPACE NOW!
And guess what? The shamblers are inexplicably here too! Except zero gravity being what it is, these shamblers can't shamble and are now just threatening pinwheels to dodge in the ISS.
Ends on the cliffhanger that quite possibly the NOT!Umbrella Corporation is behind this debacle as well.

November 4, 2025Ahora en Zom 100 se van AL ESPACIO EXTERIOR. Este manga no para de dar y dar y yo estoy aquí para cualquier idea loca que se les ocurra, la verdad.
Este tomo ha tenido escenas de persecución y de pelea muy, muy chulas, y la forma en la que representan el espacio y los sentimientos que da me encanta.
No ha ocurrido mucho más allá de la preparación para que suban a la estación espacial, pero parece que en el siguiente se nos revelarán algunas cosas sobre el virus zombie, así que tengo muchas ganas.

I'm done.
Okay so now he's in outer space!?!?! Seriously!!! The entire world ended, but there's still enough resources and manpower to send this low level office worker into outer space?
Whatever happened to this just being a fun and slightly horror based manga about a burned out office drone finally getting to enjoy life now that the drudgery of the office grind was gone? Are they really THAT much out of ideas they decide to send him into outer space???
That's it, this is where I stop with this manga.

I know billionaire space projects have gotten a bad rap lately, but hear me out, I have a pretty solid, cogent argument for space travel:
I want to go to fucking space, and NASA is not going to send me because I'm wildly unqualified, so this is the only shot I've got, don't blow this for me, you assholes with your desires to feed the hungry and so on I NEED THIS!

Still fun, but really not much happened here. They met a super rich CEO guy who built his own spacecraft and now they're in space. That's about it. Good fun where you can just shut your brain off, but nowhere near the thrills of previous volumes.

I know its a silly series but... i just could not get over them blasting into orbit during a zombie apocalypse. This isn't plot armor, this is plot invincibility.

Thank you to the publisher for this free eARC! All opinions are my own.
Akira and friends go to outer space, but can they make it back to Earth? #Edelweiss+

3.5*
The space elements and where it ends are what gained this a half star. It’s just starting to lose its charm.
