The genre of zombies, now a popular theme in visual content, is showing an interesting fusion in the world of anime. As a modern zombie anime, Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead has become a major hit. This series is not mainly about serious survival themes. Instead, it’s a post-apocalyptic adventure series that blends a pop design with comedy, where survival is just an added element. It follows Akira, who, despairing in reality, creates a bucket list to enthusiastically complete in a new world threatened by zombies.
Originally started as a manga series serialized from 2018, it was adapted into an anime by Bug Films for its first season during July to September 2023. The production of the last three episodes was delayed and postponed to the end of the year, but they successfully concluded the first season. The same year, it also became a topic of discussion when it was adapted into a live-action movie and streamed on Netflix.
If you have finished all episodes of the Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead anime, you might be curious about the further adventures of Akira, Shizuka, Kencho and Bea. Here, I’ll explain where the Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead anime ends in the manga series, so you can enjoy the continuation of the story after the anime’s end. Before the next season of the anime arrives, get a head start by reading the manga continuation.

What chapter does the Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead anime end on?
The first season of the anime Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead ends with Episode 12 “Hometown of the Dead III” which corresponds to the end of Volume 6 of the manga. Therefore, those who wish to enjoy the story after the anime’s conclusion are recommended to start reading from the beginning of Volume 7 of the manga.
Season 1: Volume 1 Chapter 1 to Volume 6 Chapter 22
Season 2: From Volume 7 Chapter 23
In the first season, Akira visits the village where his parents, who miraculously survived, are living. There, he encounters trouble due to a grudge held by an acquaintance from his university days. Although their journey has come to a pause, they leave off by adding new things to do to their bucket list and embarking on further adventures. This leaves us even more curious about what will happen next.
The anime was visually very entertaining, but the manga offers its own unique enjoyment. Why not read from Volume 7 onwards to continue the adventure in the manga?
When will Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead Season 2 air?
There is no news yet about Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead Season 2. The original manga still has enough content for about two more anime seasons, and given the anime’s popularity, the chances of producing the second season are high. However, a point of concern is the delay in the production of episodes 10 to 12 of the first season. It’s still uncertain when the sequel will be announced and whether Bug Films will continue to handle the anime production. Let’s patiently wait for good news.
