To be honest the idea was good but the story looks like it was written by a 5-year-old... the main character looks really good after he gets his upgrades toward the end, secondary characters are not even worth mentioning.. especially his sister calling him Bro all the time like a '70s surfer
Stupid conversations, rushed story, and no wonder it was rushed because it got canceled so you'll read and realize that it ends with no clear ending as the last chapter ends right before the major climax, imagine squeezing about 100+ chapters into 1 just to end the manga with a pathetic chapter...
I wouldn't recommend ... it... there are way better zombie mangas out there and this one is one of the worst on the list.

If you want to read some good mangas with zombies and good art I recommend "Fort Of Apocalypse" and "Cradle Of Monsters"

While I did enjoy the art and the story up to the "final chapter" it just ended so abruptly, and the epilogue completely jumps over the final battle, as far as I can tell we never see it. I've searched hoping that "maybe it's just hidden or something?" But no, it jumps from "Oh no, our friend is captured and we must save them, roll the squad up in front of the enemies base!" to cliffhanger, and an absolutely weak epilogue that is just "We beat the bad guy team! Woo hoo us, but I'm injured from the fierce battle that literally no one can ... see because it was never written". That serious drags the score down, if it had been actually written I could say I enjoyed it as a grimdark anti-hero zombie guy. It was relatively novel, nothing groundbreaking, but decent. The ending however just completely destroys the tension and buildup of every chapter before it.

This manga is waste of your time, and if you're looking to get your zombie-fix, you might want to try "I am a hero", or "Fort of Apocalypse" (though if you like your zombie manga you probably have already). To put it simply, this series is just below-average manga:

The art is unimpressive, with characters having mostly bland designs (with 2 highlights being the scientist secondary character, and the main character's design toward the manga's end), but the worst part is just how stiff they look most of the time. I will say though that the artist does make a decent explosion. The story is ... not all that engaging, though it has it's moments, mostly in relation to the main character's inner thought process and struggles with hiding his immorality from his sister, but you can find series that do that far better and without a bland story stapled to them. The gimmick is that the main character has the power to control zombies, which is not a terrible idea, but not explored interestingly enough. The character's themselves are boring, and speak with dialogue that comes off really unnatural. The main character has some layers to him, and there's the scientist character with an enjoyably morbid personality, and a over-the-top, axe-wielding "zombie-hunter" who's extreme behaviour can be quite funny. Non of that really matters as the biggest harp against the story is that the title was clearly canceled before it was finished, having a full "and then a couple months later" to skip over journeying to the destination of the climax and ending moments before the final confrontation.

Alright so tirade aside, you won't die if you read this, but it's got nothing really to offer, not in art, characters, story, or even as fun zombie pulp, it's best quality is the idea of "what if a character controlled zombies in a zombie apocalypse", which is a good writing prompt, but apart from that....it's preeeeetty boring.
