PROS:
I think this is the best of the 'zombie' mangas out there. The zombies evolve in really cool ways and there is more plot than just survive from one new area to the next one with no new information. There are some boring zombie cliches but also unique twists to this story. There some some strong bonds like a father/child and a huge bromance. The artwork is amazing but gory.

CONS:
The story feels really incomplete. There are no answers to several very important questions. There was a final boss fight but I still felt like the story could have continued.

Apocalypse no Toride is what "Highschool of The Dead" was supposed to be. It's scary, intense, bloody, and gruesome.

Story: 3
The story is a bit bland. The main character gets sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit and gets stuck with assholes, murderers, delinquents, and psychopaths. Then- zombies attack. That pretty much sums up the whole plot. Zombies attack and the four main characters have to survive. Yep.

Art: 9
The art is glorious, the monsters are hideous, and no fan service in this manga. You don't see monster boobs flying everywhere all over the page. No, the art actually makes you focus on the zombies, not the boobs.

Characters: 6
The four main characters have simple personalities. There is the weak ass pussy main character, there is the strong badass, a half-sadistic but not completely sadistic guy, and the smart guy of the group. Then all the rest are douches. This story really has no character development and that's a shame considering a zombie apocalypse is a life-changing experience. Oh yeah, and all the zombies in this manga are fucking OP as shit. They can block, dodge, and shit- they're hella fucking strong.

Oh yeah, and when I said there's no monster boobs everywhere, there's actually like, no boobs at all. All the characters are male. I hope none of them become gay and start raping each other in the prison during the zombie apocalypse.

Enjoyment: 8
This manga feels empty but it's still fun. I like seeing brains, lower-jaws, eyeballs, limbs, heads, and torsos flying everywhere. I like seeing people act like douches and tough nuts then scream in complete fear, hopelessness, and misery when the zombies eat the fuck out of them. I'm still a bit dissapointed in the fact that many of the characters got guns because that's fucking stupid- in a real zombie apocalypse, majority of people ain't gonna have a whole fucking chamber of guns, but whatever. I prefer to see them be resourceful and use whatever is around them but meh, screw it. Zombies don't even exist.

Overall: 8
Fun to read, but you have to turn off your mind first. This mangas full of "fuck you, we gon' do whatevz the fuck we wanna do, we ain't gon' even care about logic or plot or character development. Fuck me, fuck you, fuck everything".

tl;dr- HOTD without BOOBS. Viewer downvotes and doesn't read manga, lol.
