Zombiepowder. (stylized as ZOMBIEPOWDER.) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tite Kubo. "Zombiepowder." ran in Shueisha's "Weekly Shōnen Jump" magazine for 27 chapters from August 1999 to February 2000 before being canceled. The series was collected into four paperback volumes, released the following year. "Zombiepowder." is distributed in North America by Viz Media, who licensed it in 2005. Although critical reception in the United States was largely mediocre, the series achieved moderate commercial success in the western market due to the prominence its author had by that point achieved for his second manga series, "Bleach".
