The fact that Japan is virtually weapon-free sounds awesome for those interested in a utopian society but when the dead walk among you it doesn't sound like such a good plan. So it's not that the Japanese rolled on their backs and didn't try when the zombie apocalypse hit, they just weren't prepared for something so sudden that could endanger their livelihoods in the form of people. Natural disasters, nobody's fault, if you die it's a tragedy. Let me tell you, I'm not knocking on Japan, but they haven't been in a full-out war in over half a century, whereas places like America have been sent into the field guns blazing every decade. I Am a Hero has an author that knows his fellow countrymen and how they would handle a crisis. This manga paints a pretty accurate picture on the slow reaction time to the quickly escalating crisis that is the zombie pandemic. Up until then it's exposition of Hideo and his girlfriend, but mostly Hideo and his socially awkward, lateral-thinking 35-year-old otaku self. It isn't until chapter 10 or 11 that zombies start appearing. The story starts off slow, I'll tell you that right now. Well, I guess won't go that far, but if you haven't read World War Z I would highly recommend it as it features some vignettes that "interviewed" survivors from Japan and how they escaped. TL DR it doesn't get the credit it deserves.I hope I don't come off as a snob, but unless you've read Max Brooks's World War Z, his survival guide, or even the graphic illustrations of the history of zombie epidemics, then I'd say you aren't really up with the times on how zombies have evolved from slow shuffling, fairly harmless ghouls out for brains to mad, frenzied freaks bent on tasting the delicious hide that is your own at any cost. I think that was around the time he got swallowed by Kurusu at the hot springs. I remember someone saying that Hideo is safe from fully getting infected( even though he's partially infected) because he's closed off his heart. The huge ZQN was was everyone human stuck together that couldn't resist. I think it said somewhere in the manga that the ZQN were an alien infection to wipe out humans without destroying the infrastructure. The one that dated Hideo's girl before Hideo, but was also a huge fan of Hideo's work ended up having a harem. That other lispy Mangaka who was really pervy. Hideo went back to his typical solitary lifestyle. All and all I liked The ending for what it was. The Authors are usually also living in tiny apartments, severely overworked, underpaid and dealing with the same life obstacles as anyone else. The also have to bring different monsters and threats. The author's are under pressure from editors to keep the narrative fresh with new characters or reintroduce old ones. ![]() There's a lot of things to consider before you just go off and say the ending is stupid. ![]()
