Netflix’s Geeked Week continues with a bunch of announcements, and one of them is getting ready to bring another manga to the screen. The latest project will adapt writer Haro Aso and illustrator Kotaro Takata’s Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead manga in the form of a live-action movie.
There’s no date at the moment, but the movie will be available to stream on Netflix when it’s ready. Eiji Akaso is in the lead.

VIZ Media publishes the manga in English and describes it like so:
Surviving a zombie apocalypse beats being a wage slave any day! After spending years slaving away for a soul-crushing company, Akira’s life has lost its luster. He lives in a trash-filled apartment, his pay is abysmal, and he can’t even muster up the nerve to confess his love to his beautiful co-worker. But when a zombie apocalypse ravages his town, it gives him the push he needs to live for himself. Now Akira’s on a mission to complete all 100 items on his bucket list before he…well, kicks the bucket.
