You know, things happen in life. "Development Hell" is a thing, people only live for so long, businesses start up and shut down every day. And that's what happened to Zombie Powder, or so I understand. It never finished it's run because the publication folded, so it only got four collected volumes and a story left unresolved. Without much to go on, how did it do?

Actually, very well. It's a shonen, from the 2000s era shonens, but a bit outlandish in it's world building. Imagine a much darker tale of Goku's search for the Dragon Balls, with a Trigun-esque ... setting and you have the right idea. Just over the top enough to be fun, a flawless art style, I can't help but be curious how an anime would have turned out.

It is a shame that a manga about a wanderer wielding a chainsaw sword didn't get rescued, because the creator, Tite Kubo hasn't picked up the concept again. Instead he focused on his other title that blew up on both sides of the pacific. A little manga called "Bleach".

Short-lived, but worth the read. Find Zombie Powder for your Stack.

Melodux should do more research to find out it was canceled, "The rating for this manga is going to suffer because it's incomplete/If Kubo wasn't planning on finishing the manga, then he should've planned out the story better to fit 4 volumes," this means not by choice. Publishers have all the power and that it doesn't sell(as well as projected) = no money means they cancel it.

I can see why angelsreviews compares it to Trigun i can see that but Trigun devolved from space faring into a desert like western. With a near-pacifistic antagonist. This planet doesn't act like a western desert, but a more ... lawless land and this guy has no qualms killing every "bad guy", that looks at him funny.

~SPOILERS~

I really like this series i literally started this before work and finished it about 50 min ago so 10 hours and 400+ pages +2 shitty extras. I don't like the Multi bajillion bounty as a Trigun/One piece thing it's a shonen thing calm your ass down Collecting things like DBZ for a wish well no these items give only one thing depending on how many you have; ?<12 - death, ?=12 - this magical Zombie Powder which is life. Given to someone dead will bring them back to life, unknown if it restores them to actual life or some zombified version of themself, but given to a living person it makes them immortal. This is an awesome premises. The fights were very good and bosses except first was good the gangsters was a garbage person whom any old "hero" could've killed. The circus boss was lame his lieutenants were extremely good if short.

Characters were introduced perfectly, except their reasons(other than pickpocket kid and girl).The pacing was very good it didn't feel rushed even though i was blazing through it. This is what i'm talking about making you want to read the next chapter and the next with getting tiring and you asking yourself how much more. I do have an issue with it though....where's the rest some many loose threads that need a conclusion it has all that potential but alas we will never get them unless the re-serialize it which is unlikely. Read, Read, and read again it very good like a better version of the beginning of Trigun.

Well, so. I'm not to mention the fact that this manga is a lot like Bleach (especially the art) since it's made by the same person.

Therefore, this is a manga with a lot of potential. I liked it from the first chapter, that's why is on my fav's list. The saddening thing about Zombie Powder is the fact that is an abandoned story. Unfortunately, Kubo gave up on it. I have fate that maybe one day he'll find the strength and ispiration to continue the series, because it's worth it. Thus I think that the concept of this manga can leat to a series ... with a lot of chapters. But that's up to the author to decide.

Anyway, I am happy that I got to read this manga and see other ideas that the author of my fav anime (Bleach) has.

WARNING: If you're the kind of person that gets immense rage from an unfinished work of art, don't read this. You may give it a lower mark than I did and that would make me sad and angry at the same time. Don't be harsh on it.

Thanks for reading ^-^
