Doubt review
1) The art is really unclear, making it sometimes hard to understand what's going on. It's not ugly, just really average without any style of it's own.
2) The set-up to the story is really cliche, and does nothing but stick to the formula.The characters are your standard stereotypes from every high-school drama ever. Besides, no one gets any real development or backstory untill it becomes relevant to the story.
3) The writing is baaaad. The mystery genre is supposed to have some nice twists and turns along the way and Doubt... Let's just say that the reveal is comparable to "Luke,I'm your father". It reeks of Deus ex Machina.

Doubt review
At first glance the overall concept of this manga appealed to me and I was intrigued as to how the story would pan out. If you are a fan of the psychological genre you may be sorely disappointed by the end of it all.
Story (3/10) - A phone game where a group of bunnies have a wolf hiding among them and in order to survive they must guess who this is. An interesting premise, especially when it turns into the real life version.
The story started off well in the sense that it kept me curious as to what would happen next. Not much is determined at the beginning of the plot but it did enough to get the reader hooked. As the story progresses more people die and you are constantly changing opinion on who you think the killer is. As for the killings, even though a reason is somewhat revealed as to why, it still seems to be pointless in the end. The plot does drag at times with fillers that need not be included and what let this manga down was the ending of it all. When all was revealed I was left confused and disappointed with what seemed like an illogical conclusion. The overall story was interesting but the ending fell short of what had a lot of potential to be great. It did not satisfy me in the least especially because I feel there were no clues or twists leading up to the conclusion.
Art (5/10) - I have to say, after being recommended this manga I thought the art style would be of a higher caliber then it was. Not that it was bad but it just wasn't a stand out in my opinion and wasn't as disturbing and bloody as I hoped it would be. Some parts of the story were lost at times because of how dark the art was. I had to go back to try and figure out what had just happened. The surroundings drew me in more than the character designs themselves and the detail in the bunny heads deserve an applause if anything else.
Character (3/10) - None of the characters really stood out to me and I wasn't invested enough to care if they lived or died. The characters also didn't really seem to care when the people around them were killed off one by one. No back story was really given for any of the characters so not much is known as to who these people really are. I can't say any of them left a lasting impression nor can I say that I felt connected to any particular person.
Enjoyment (4/10) - I really did enjoy this anime right the way through until the ending where it left me disappointed. The hopes that a major twist or revelation would knit the whole thing together was what kept me reading page after page. I thought maybe towards the end I would realise I missed major clues or hints that would make the whole thing tie together but there wasn't.
I would say if you want a manga that will mess with your mind you can read this... but it won't mess with you in a good way.

Doubt review
I would not recommend this anime at all. There was barely any character development, the plot consisted of... well, killing, and the whole manga was stretched to the max (they obviously wanted to sell their product for a longer period of time).
Here's a little checklist:
- Plot twists can not make up for a lack of plot, character development
- Cliffhangers are pathetic suspense - builders
- Not all readers are unable to see the Saw II parallels (a horrible sequel, by the way)
Thoroughly disappointed,
Cries

Doubt review
I seriously struggle to comprehend how anyone thinks this manga is even worth a flip through. I was bored out my mind trying to read just the first volume, guessed who the killer was the second it was blatantly apparent, skipped to the end and saw that, not only was I right about who the killer was, but also who was left alive and by that, I can pretty much guess that the rest of the book was just about as dull. I didn't even give it half the amount of attention that some people do and I still feel like I wasted my time
reading what I did. Doesn't help that there's about a billion manga that are identical. What a boring concept.

Doubt review
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.

Doubt review
Well well well, this is one suspense story that really keep me on my toes and I'm serious about it. Normally there's hardly any suspense manga that will let me finish the entire manga in one plus hour time.
The story really builds on itself and it's not predictable like other mangas around, and just when you think that its the end, the author will provide another element that totally throws you out of the track.
The storyline is perfect and 20 chapters are just nice for the manga, but beware, this is not for those who are faint-hearted because of its fast paceness...
A perfect read at midnight..

Doubt review
I started reading this manga because a popular YouTuber recommended it saying it was one of the best horror manga. I'm a big horror fan and finding good horror anime/manga is hard so obviously I jumped onboard and read Doubt.
It's a pretty short read, it only took a few hours but was it good? Well, this is all just personal opinion if you think this is the greatest manga good for you. But I did not, in fact it is one of my least favourite. I gave it a 5 overall to be nice but honestly it deserves a 4. The whole time reading it I felt kind of bored, even though I just read it a couple days ago I can't even remember anything notable that's how forgetful the whole thing felt. (I literally have to go on wiki and get a summary of the story again)
I remember being pretty excited to read this, games where teens are forced to kill each other are my jam hence Danganronpa being my favourite game series but you'd be surprised about how boring they could make it.
The plot for the most part made no sense and then to make it seem interesting they tried to throw in all these weird plot twists which just made it more stupid and confusing. The only reason I didn't predict the plot twists in this manga was because they were too stupid to guess, well actually I did get one right (and spoilers up ahead so beware) that Rei was actually alive. I guessed that because it was the most cliche thing you could do in a horror scenario not to mention Danganronpa already did something like that, the mastermind was actually the first one to die but surprise their alive! Yeah so I really hated that plot twist.
The best score I gave it was for it's art, a 7/10. It's.. alright? I mean I didn't find it amazing in any way but it wasn't terible either I enjoyed the art style for what it was.
Most of the characters felt the same and forgettable except maybe the main character and Rei but it's not like I was attached to any of them at all, then again like I said Doubt is pretty short. Maybe it could have been a little better if they stretched out the plot and developed it more. Personally I like the sequel Judge a lot more, it's longer and had some decent twists except the end one which was so stupid but what could I expect? So would I read Doubt again? Nope.

Doubt review
I found out about this manga just yesterday,it was a recommendation to another one in this site.Thought I'd try it,so tomorrow I started reading it.Firstly I have to say that I loved the atmosphere,I've always loved buildings like that in horror movies,or in this case let's say manga.They fit best if you want to creep out the readers.
Now let's start on the review.
Story 6/10
Something I've heard before again and something I'd think of it too,if I were to create a manga.Didn't give me a "Wow" when I read the summary but sometimes all it matters is how the story develops later.Now that I just mentioned it,I really felt at times that it was predictable.To be honest nothing shocked me at all,I even saw the ending coming(part of it).While there were lots of twists,they really didn't make me excited,I felt that sometimes the story had to drag itself to make sense,when most times it didn't,and all the explanation going on was just tiring.I bet you could make a wicked horror story with simple explanation.To be honest I had three suspects of who was the real wolf,and I wasn't that wrong in the end(maybe a little bit).
It was a disappointment to give it such an ending and not to mention it is way to pessimisic,you're supposed to give hope after someone has gone through so much trouble rather than having everything ruined.It's like giving us a big slap on the face and saying "Woohoo,you were such a sucker for reading this".
Art 8/10
One of the manga's strong points,while I won't lie that at first it didn't appeal to me that much.But as the chapters went on I kinda started liking it,I also liked the details on the clothing or on the objects.Not to mention the Bunny Masks.If you were to mention this manga to me the first image that'd come to my mind would be definetely the masks.Some of the character designs felt a bit too common though.If it had been for a better story and more chapters the masks would have become legendary,that's all I have to say.
Character 6/10
Yeah...no!The characters followed stereotypes most of the time.I didn't feel any connection to them,I didn't feel they were alive.In my opinion it was wrong to start the game from the first chapters.It would be good to get to know the characters a bit and they'd get to know each other.It would be more interesting and they'd get more connected and build trust.For character development,I don't think I noticed any.The characters way of thinking and viewing things was the same from begining to end.Maybe Mitsuki had potential to turn into some scary vilain but she wasn't given the chance.
I'd like o add another thing,the whole thing "I'll trust my friends" or "They're my friends" didn't do for me at all.It sounded all so fake cause the characters had just met that day.
Enjoynment 9/10
Just because it's not the best or one of the best horror mangas out there it doesn't mean that I didn't enjy it.Otherwise I would have dropped it.For me what's really important is also the atmosphere like I mentioned above.The building was great and it reminded me of a time when I had seen an abandoned building from the outside and it'd give me creeps.If you just want something to chill out and have a nice time try this,but the ending was disappointing.
Overall 7/10
If youw were to ask me,I'd say "It's a good manga and deserves a chance".After all I'm sure there are many people out there who would love it.I personally found it pretty predicting.The dialogues were poor,most of the things the say are heard more than a thousand times making it even more predicting.The characters could've been a lot smarter than just been cunning.The whole idea of the mobile game though with the rabbits and the wold was quite exceptional.Best part of the manga(after the rabbir masks of course,XD) and had it been executed well could've made a better story.

Doubt review
I’m a guro fiend. Meaning, I love a manga that has gore and blood and horror in it. But finding a manga that isn’t gratuitous? That’s hard to find.
Enter “Doubt”: a gore manga with a plot. A plot that revolves around a group of “Rabbits” (i.e. the protagonists) to find the “Wolf”, as illustrated in the very beginning of the book—like a cruel, taunting tease of what is to come. Needless to say, as people begin to die within the group, people go absolutely nuts and start to accuse people, exact revenge, and have their whole world cave in on them.
Now, mind you, this specific plot has been done before—“Battle Royale”, anyone?—but that isn’t a downside, at all. Actually, the execution of said cliché plot is what’s so refreshing and engrossing. It’s a mystery who-done-it that piles the mystery on, slowly answering each one. You become so engrossed in the mystery and the dark, dank atmosphere that you could care less on that fact.
The only down-side to this is that the characters aren’t all that intriguing, you don’t really feel for the main character (Yuu), and that was a bit disappointing due to how much it excelled in areas that I find particularly important—except it lags greatly in this one field.
It’s still a worthwhile, enjoyable read nonetheless.

Doubt review
Okay so I'm going to make a review of both Doubt and Judge because they are almost the same and I'm not kinky enough to get myself reading Secret.
One of my favourite kind of stories are mystery/survival games. It's an amazing and easy way to develope a good story with strong bonds between the characters, plot twists, dark plots, and even some horror and gore.
I get to love this kind of stories through visual novels such as Zero Escape, Danganronpa and When They Cry and I even want to write some story like these by myself.
Just as Virtue's Last Reward, Umineko and Danganronpa V3 might be good exmples of what to do, this series is definetly and example of WHAT NOT TO DO.
There's a key in writting mystery stories and is always PLANNING YOUR STORY BACKWARDS. That way you can unwrap the plot slowly leaving some hints behind and some crucial plot twist momments (and preventing plotholes).
Well, nothing is unfunnier than having the mystery resolved by itself. Every plot twist happens because IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN and feels like a coin flip.
"Oh wow so this is the mastermind, I knew it because people lie)?"
Literally, there's nothing to connect, every truth revelation gives off new plot to have sense and to evade being a plot hole...BECAUSE THIS STORY WAS PLANNED AT THE SAME TIME IT WAS WRITEN. How the hell am I gonna get surprised with a plot twist if there's no plot?
Second failure: the mechanics. In terms of mechanics there's no mechanics.
The plot is sooooo easy. There's one killer among us, let's find it.
I mean, if they are playing a killing game, having some rules is MANDATORY.
But honestly, after reading Judge I even prefer it this way...at least it doesn't pretend to be "complex" with symbolism and stuff. Like no, don't try it. "I'm going to judge your sins", and then forget about the "sins" theme for the rest of the manga, they just don't matter.
And finally, the characters...
I know this isn't a visual novel with lots of dialogues for you to get attached to the characters but oh my god...I can't even remember half of the main cast.
Personality, what's that? Even their design is boring. They are just lame and forgettable. How do I get attached to them? I won't care if they die.
There's the hero, the edgy, the bad guy, a girl and...another girl?
They act just like you expect, the bad boy does bad things, the edgy does smart decisions and the hero drains all of your patience with his friendship preachments. One of them is lying, who? I don't care, they will come up with and explanation afterwards whoever he/she is. They have no progression, they are so unidimensional that it hurts.
The only good thing about this manga is that is SHORT and unlike Judge (because it's repetitive as having garlics for dinner) it could be a decent movie. The lenght makes you at least pass the time without getting bored, and that's the only reason why I could read along this disappointment.

Okay I am sure most of you have heard of "The Killing Game" before. Well this is almost like it. It first starts with rabbits and they must find the lying wolf. over the years it went on and then there was this site called Rabbit Doubt (by the way the site is real I am a member if you want to know more just message me) and 6 people decide to meet up and hang out but they were knocked out and abducted they woke up in a abandoned place and the game has begone. they have no choice but to play it. they
must find the lying wolf. It used to be a game but not anymore. Liars Must Die They Say. So if you like very intense horror I recommend this and if you like it check out Judge.

Doubt review
[Light spoilers]
As someone who likes this genre, I can say with confidence that Doubt was, by far, one of the most disappointing, pathetically thrown together anime OR manga I've picked up so far.
Reading this manga, I was completely appalled with how much of a train wreck this was. At first glance, this seems like an interesting story concept, and it is. I've read and seen my fair share in the "survival game" genre, and this is an awesome story concept with a lot of potential, which got me interested to begin with. That's why it's so easy to see where Doubt totally blew it.
Story (1/10 - Pathetic): The worst part of this entire manga. Straight from the beginning, we are thrown into the pre-game setup. All of the characters are meeting together with little context given. There is no "main character is living a normal life sitting at the back of the classroom when something out of the ordinary happens" scenario. The characters all come together saying "I got this weird message, haha" and that's pretty much it for the exposition. We're given typical manga tropes as characters, which is to be expected, but really doesn't help Doubt's case, proving that they stuck with just the bare minimum. We're even given a MC with absolutely no personality or outstanding qualities.
The pre-game development was extremely weak to say the least. They're thrown into the game when we still know very little about the characters or what's going on. From there, the story continues without any buildup or a sense of major mystery, and the story proceeds to rush itself into a complete mess. Again, no development, no tension, no nothing. The characters don't even seem to be afraid about their friends being murdered and being in a bloody dark hell hole. This even furthers the reader from connecting to the characters in any possible way.
However, maybe the worst part of the story is how predictable it is. The mystery pretty much gave itself away, and I could predict the ending before the end of volume one. Obviously this led to a dull, anticlimactic ending that anyone could see coming. You would not believe how obvious and unimaginative this story came out to be. No redeeming qualities.
Art (6/10 - Fair): There isn't much to talk about here. They made some scenes pretty spooky, lots of blood, characters are drawn in a typical way, but not bad. So what? In Doubt's case, the art is not enough to save it from being complete hell. In fact, one of the reasons so many enjoyed this is probably because of the eerie art that was used as a crutch for a such terrible story. Art is hardly worth recognizing and would not redeem this thing in a million years. Moving on.
Character (2/10 - Dreadful): Characters get virtually no development or backstories. There is no investment in any of the characters and character deaths are needlessly thrown around to compensate for a lacking mystery. Character deaths are also sloppy and anticlimactic to the point that I actually wish there were more characters, because when only a few characters are suddenly left, the story gets even more boring. Completely disappointing and a huge waste of potential... potential. Yeah, potential potential.
Enjoyment (2/10 - Dreadful): Needless to say, when the ending and "plot twists" are obvious, with the characters being one dimensional, and with a story with no development or mystery, there isn't much to enjoy. There were a few moments of suspense that were sort of creepy. That's basically the only thing that saves the "enjoyment" from a 1/10. Believe me, I would have dropped this thing if it wasn't a measly four volumes.
Overall (2/10 - Dreadful): All things considered, I think a 2/10 is fair if not generous. I'm sure they could have found ways to make it even worse, like maybe if they found it in an old scrapbook titled "Baby's First Manga", so I'll spare it from the 1/10 rating.
Doubt is a horrendous attempt at a potentially engaging and mysterious story. I'm hoping I don't get a ton of "Not Helpful"s for such a low score, but I'm telling you, this thing was painful to read. Having zero development, character depth, and tension was really killing me. A cool concept that was completely thrown away by a rather pathetic execution.
TL;DR: Just... don't bother.
As someone who likes this genre, I can say with confidence that Doubt was, by far, one of the most disappointing, pathetically thrown together anime OR manga I've picked up so far.
Reading this manga, I was completely appalled with how much of a train wreck this was. At first glance, this seems like an interesting story concept, and it is. I've read and seen my fair share in the "survival game" genre, and this is an awesome story concept with a lot of potential, which got me interested to begin with. That's why it's so easy to see where Doubt totally blew it.

Story: not the most original on the book sure, but its handled well paced and makes it work altogether for the mystery purpose
Art: suits the story, i found it quite amazing
characters: all of them are interesting and very well developed during the story without dragging any of them around and adding interest to the entire bunch
enjoyment: absolutely enjoyable and worth a second read, even perhaps worth an anime or movie remake because gets you into the thing easily
overall: you can keep scrolling back to this one from time to time and still find it exciting, the plot works out fine and the characters bias makes you stick with it especially during first time read, final score: 10/10

Doubt review
At first, I saw this Manga and thought it didn't seem great. But the first chapter hooked me in, and it seemed like I was going to be forced into riding this killing game that has been set forth. This is definitely a manga I would tell all of you to read if you haven't, yet.
The story revolves around a game of 'Rabbit Doubt'. There's a group of people and everyone is labeled as a rabbit. Someone within them is in a disguise, but is truly a wolf who seeks to murder the innocent. It's a lying game. If the wolves are gone before the rabbits, the rabbits win. If the wolves eliminate the rabbits, the wolves win. But once this innocent game gets twisted into a real-life experience, it gets all the more difficult. A murderer against others, trying to kill them before they can make their way out of the building they're locked in.
Some of the characters are fairly standard, some aren't. But they're all special in their own ways.
Yuu and Mitsuki are good friends. They meet with four new people throughout the games progression.
Almost every chapter ended with a cliffhanger kind of setting. It keeps you on your toes and not knowing who the wolf is until the very end. [ Unless you're a good guesser, of course. ;) ] It switches around who you think the wolf could be, and creates an atmosphere that will confuse and boggle the mind! It truly is a mystery.
In the end, I really did love this manga. I would suggest everyone to read it! You'll be dragged in and enthralled until the end. I read this all in a day, and was amazed. It's completely worth the read.

Great artwork and suspenseful throughout, that is what I call a great manga! Each chapter is chilling and suspenseful that will have horror and psychological fans begging for more.
A cellphone game about a wolf and rabbits made real... pure genius. The author incorporates the wolf in Doubt that brings a whole new meaning to the "big, bad wolf."
Trapped and powerless, while giving full control to the killer and yet give the reader hope throughout the manga is what makes Doubt without a doubt one of the better psychological horror mangas!

Whats is the one thing in the world that you can never doubt?
That my friend, is doubt itself. If you doubt the existence of doubt,
you are contradicting yourself. Since doubting doubt, ultimately means
you believe in doubt.
In a room filled with five people each of them has a their own bar code, and grotesque body hanging before them. There is a wolf masquerading as a rabbit. If they can find the wolf, they will survive. Choose the wrong rabbit, and all the rabbits will die.
This manga is very engrossing. After the first chapter, I was quickly hook in the world of Doubt. As the title says, the theme is all about Doubt. It talks about how important trust at the same time fragile, can be. The characters werent very original but its the relationship of each character to each other that counts. It was very immersing to have all the characters doubt each other, how they communicate and how they react to what is happening around them. This manga compels you to think for a logical reason on who the wolf can be, at some point it is even challenging.
The art is pretty decent. It aint bad at all. Personally, I liked it. It didnt give me a hard time to delve in as the art has a good drawing. The morbid deaths in particular are unsightly but definitely refined enough for you to understand that the sword of damocles is hanging above your head.
Its magnificent suspense approach bolsters the manga overall. It will give you goosebumps all the time as you try and figure out the true intents of each individual. The only thing missing here is music. If this was an anime, I bet it'll scare the bejesus out of me.
Conclusion. This manga is for those who can appreciate suspense and arent one of the weak hearted. If you want suspense, dont waste any more time and go read it now. For maximum enjoyment, I recommend you to listen to this while reading it.

After so many instances of hearing people talk about this manga and hyping it up, claiming it was full of suspense and mystery, I finally caved in and gave it a shot. I went in with full expectations. And I came out thinking just one thing:
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
Art: 7
The art wasn't very distinctive or unique, but it wasn't bad either. It was just fine. In some instances, like murder scenes or moments of 'suspense', the quality got slightly higher, but it still wasn't much to write home about.
Characters: 2
This is the second biggest thing I dislike about this manga. The characters are bland and boring with zero to no development. Only two or three of them got a smidge of backstory. Each of the characters fit a certain archetype and most of them come off as annoying. In a horror setting the reader/viewer should be able to connect with the characters in order to actually feel something when they die, but in Doubt I very much didn't care.
Story: 1
Boring and predictable. I could see the 'twist' coming from a mile away, and when the second twist came I literally looked up and thought to myself: "Well that's f**king stupid." I didn't see the second one coming because I genuinely thought the author wouldn't *actually* go there, that maybe the plot could be salvageable, but nope. The motivation of the villain was laughable at best and the ending was the final nail in the coffin for me because of how insulting it felt.
Overall: 2
Honestly, there are way better death game manga/anime out there than this. It took me like an hour and a half to plow through this, but I still felt like I wasted my time. Don't waste yours.

Doubt review
It's basically a game of guessing. If you guess right, you survive. If you guess wrong, you'll die. Now, this isn't just a game for children. It required hard thinking and strong determination.
The intention of this Manga is to make it's readers doubt and think. The manga wants us to think alongside, to guess who the killer truly is. And of course, we as the readers succumb to this feeling and guess.
However, this is where my first disappointment came into the picture.
There are varieties of personalities and character present to make the manga interesting. All it needed was more doubt among themselves; more drama, more twists as in who the killer might truly be alongside many given hints we would only realize later.
However I did not notice any hints at all when the conclusion came. Besides that, the conclusion just didn't make much logical sense and wasn't hinted at all. It's like writing a story and suddenly deciding AT THE END of it to decide a killer by coin flip; and then think about what you could use as possible 'hints'. I mean, it was just mind blowing retarded.
The manga itself is fairly interesting though. It gets you thinking; it gets you on the edge of your seat, it keeps you want to read more to eventually see who the killer is and it absolutely gives you 'what the heck?' moments. The 'what the heck' moments are especially fun considering the somewhat gore story.
However, I wasn't engrossed by it. In fact, I think this manga could have put in 'that' much more into it to make it more enjoyable. I just expected more hints, more confusion and more chaos among the survivors.
But the amount of 'people' was low to begin with and was soon changed into even 'less' people. Which is a disappointment all in all; since the personalities weren't used to their max potential. Not to mention that in and around the middle of the manga things are already being revealed; which takes away tension. Besides that, around chapter 10 I already doubted how the manga was going to continue from that point forward due to a lack of material.
Besides all the flaws I've pointed out; the manga is quite good and enjoyable. It has a sharp setting and sticks to it correctly. So if you like a little tension, some gore and people being locked up in a basement. Then this manga is one for you.
Of course you could also just like horror/drama, which is also a good reason. Whatever fits your taste. If you enjoy a manga that, just like I pointed out, has more hints/confusion to it that actually is worth your brain's thinking, you might want to check out another manga. But still, like I said a few times before, this manga isn't quite as bad as I might make it seem. Especially since it's only 20 chapters in total; which is quite the quick read. Just don't expect too much from it and don't start it if your into romance/comedy.

Doubt review
i am really scared easily, and all i can say in one word is:
scary.
this is one of the most scariest manga's that ive read.
it even passed battle royale(for me, this manga is scary as HELL)
i was just shoked to read this manga and had chills all over my body.
but, the ending for me was preety lame, i mean, as one person here said, they just did an unconnected ending and made up some so called connected "clues".
now, for the anoying part:
story: you allready know the story, so i dont need to write about it.
the story is predictable, and you will know the ending from the first few chapters.
but exept from that, its awasome.
art: not the greatest, thats for sure, but it fits to romance-horror somehow.
characters: they are interesting and sometimes pitiful because of their conditions.
but if your not ready for this kind of manga, youll cry for their deaths.(like me 'sob')
enjoyment: it was really interesting. fun is a cruel word for this manga, and i dont think that it was fun for me but very attractive and REALLY interesting.
to find the real killer can be sometimes obvious like i said before but you dont care, you just want to know who hung who and who stabbed who and so on.
overall: two words: great, scary.
i HIGHLY recommend this to people who can bear horror manga's because its not the drawing and pictures that are scary, its the story and what happens.
i am going to sleep with my eye half open to make sure that NO person in a creepy bunny mask will come to my room with a rope.(yup, nightmares....)
