-I don't enjoy it as much as the tokyo arc. Now it feels like a tourism ad with cliche dramas, but hey, mc still have fun things to do on his bucket list, and i want to see it to the very end (i hope it won't get axed).
-I don't think it's "Look, we have problems", more like the author needed to keep his manga premise (mc doing all 100 things he wants to do before becoming a zombie). Mc wanted to stay with his parents in the village, but the author couldn't let that happen (mc still got many stuffs to do), so he chose this route (there are other options, tho).
-You can compare it to any manga, there are bound to be some similarities since they came from the same culture.
-It's not so serious and doesn't have to be logical, a relaxing read imo.
-The theme is post-apocalyptic, no more restrictions, weird people could get weirder.
-Just a reminder: you're reading it for free without the creators' consent.
