A bit hard to make a judgment call 3 chapters in, but I'd say this the first true "corporate zombie apocalypse survival" theme, which is excactly what it sounds like. You've got the quintessential super-salaryman who embodies the Japanese corporate spirit, highly competent in customer relations and business acumen. Even an end of the world scenario is just another challenge for a company that specializes in commercial printers... No, seriously.

The author is better known for his historical series, and it seems he has an affinity for famous people with "Honda" as a surname, but I digress. It's difficult to compare this manga with much else since it's neither precedented nor spectacular, but I'm sure there's a scant few works out there that have touched on a similar theme. I'd call it entertaining and worth seeing where it goes.

its incredibly amusing that the manga plays the whole "we are salarymen through and through" thing completely straight. there's a single character that breaks from the mindset, and he does it for the sake of corporate innovation and crisis response.

pretty fun so far
