Doubt. So, the premise is that there is a cell phone game where you have to figure out who the killer is, kind of like wink murder, except its with rabbits and a wolf. A wolf has blended in with the group of rabbits, and in this game the rabbits have to figure out who the wolf is before they all get eaten. Except our group of characters wake up to find themselves playing the game for real.

I've read various horror/thriller mangas with a gameshow gimmick, the idea isn't particularly new but I enjoy this kind of theme a lot, so I though what the heck, I'll give this a go.

Doubt in a word is... underwhelming. It rushes you through the plots and the backstory, making you feel like you shouldn't really care about whats going on, which, quite frankly, I didn't. The characters good time together when they meet for the first time doing karaoke seemed really forced and then bam thats as much context as you get with them as they wake up in a abandoned warehouse or something and have to play a game and can only open doors via barcodes on a part of their body. (999 it aint)

The characters are one dimensional and boring. You see a tiny piece of each persons backstory, but that's it. No one has any sense of personality and no one really shows that much emotion either. It's all very bland. The wolf is glaringly obvious until the very end when you get a what the fuck plot twist that makes no logical sense, but sure all right we'll roll with it. I didn't really care regardless, I just carried on, wanting to finish the thing.

I'll give it one thing, though. The ending was great. Fucking amazingly hilarious. I'm sure it was supposed to be clever, which it wasn't, but damn it was a great way to end this manga.
