Doubt

I would say not bad, basically everything about this story is average. The only thing that's a little disappointing is the plot is unique, you pick it up and think it will be awesome however as you keep reading everything starts to fall a little short and becomes more average. It's still worth a read to kill sometime tho, by the same token its not a bad manga either. just could of been better.
I started reading the judge series which i heard was a better version of this story but so far this predecessor in my opinion is better.

Story - I must say that I actually guessed the right wolf from the beginning although Doubt does do very well at throwing you off the scent. This just goes to show how you show stick to your original instincts. Although I found it fairly predictable, I loved each second that I spent reading it. To me, it seems very 'Saw'-esque but with less gruesome scenes but it was exceedingly clever with lots of immense twists and a fantastic ending!

Art - I loved how the rabbit masks were drawn - very creepy and fitted so well with the atmosphere of the story. The characters were well drawn and I found in the creepier parts that some of the characters reflected the kind of drawing that is done in Higurashi.

Character - Obviously, in a manga like this they don't concentrate on the characters but I found that Yuu-san was a very likeable character and you could easily relate to how he was acting and what he did. At times you definitely had to feel sorry for him. It was clever how some of the characters decieved and manipulated their way through the story too.

Enjoyment - I really enjoyed reading it and read it all in a day as I was so hooked. Cliffhanger at the end of every chapter and you just -have- to keep reading!

Overall - If you like horror and psychological manga this is definitely for you!

It's my first review so deal with me please~

Doubt was a manga that I didn't want to read. People with bunny-heads on the cover and some blood.. I didn't know what to think about it. But then I exchanged some manga with my friend and she gave me Doubt so I started reading it... AND COULDN'T STOP.

Story is about pack of friends playing phone-game called "Doubt". In this game you play as a cute little bunny but this game isn't cute at all. One of the bunnies is a wolf in disguise trying to eat them all but of course bunnies don't know which one is a bad guy. They all try to kill (by hanging) bunny that lies and is a wolf. If they hang right one - they win but if they hang wrong ones to the end - wolf wins.
This pack of friends meet one day in real life - main character Yuu that always lose in this game, his best friend Mitsuki that was in this meeting only by coincidence, badass guy Einji, beautiful girl Haruka and cute Rei on the wheelchair. Only Hajime didn't came. The all wake up in strange building and game starts in real life but.. who is the wolf?

Story 6/10
Why only 6? Because I knew who is the wolf from the start. I knew it and thought that they will give me some hints or something that will lead to this ending but.. no. They didn't. Overall I think the story wasn't that bad, I enjoyed it really much but i was expecting some more "doubt".

Art 7/10
7 because it's not "special", I saw better character designs and stuff but at the same time backgrounds were really nicely done! I mean - this strange building, blood, stairs, walls they were all really enjoyable.
In my version were coloured pages too and I loved those cute little bunnies in colour, especially wolf-bunny.

Character 5/10
Nothing special. They all had their own characters but we all seen them already. Cute girl on wheelchair? Badass guy? Son of the doctor? Yup.. I give 5 because some of them wasn't what we thought they are. It wasn't that shocking like in School Days or Higurashi but still..

Enjoyment 9/10
Why so high? Because it sucks you like a mud! Even if story isn't amazing and characters are just normal you will still enjoy reading it - trust me. You will want to know what will be later and it works like a good horror/thriller giving you chills sometimes. Yup it deserves good 9 but only for enjoyment.

Overall: 6.75 ahaha so 6/10 will be good. It's Fair, this word matches this manga really well.
It's not special but still really enjoyable so yup if you can read it - do it fast!

A story about a group of people locked together in a strange place being killed off one-by-one: sounds fun, right? Well, that is if you're a horror buff. Even though this plot has been done to death (hehe, look at the puns a rollin'!) "Doubt" brings some new charm and perspective to the table with its telling.

First off, the most enjoyable and engaging part of this manga to me was the cell-phone based game that frames the overall story. The game deals with a group of rabbits who are being murdered one-by-one by a wolf hiding amongst them. So what do these little critters do? Why, pick a rabbit they suspect is the wolf and kill it, of course! If the rabbits pick wisely, they all live (yay!), if not, then they've just murdered one of their own (whoopsie!) and are still at risk of dying themselves (boo!). It's really sort of like the card game Mafia, but with demented looking bunnies. Call me morbid, but I wish that this cell-game depicted in the manga really existed. It sounds like fun to me.

Anyway, this cell game becomes the framework for the twisted game in which the characters of the manga find themselves. They, like the bunnies, are slowly being murdered and have to try to discover the wolf among them before it's too late. Unfortunately, the "wolf", at least who towards the end you think is the wolf, was painfully apparent to me from the get go. However, it turns out that there's a big twist at the end so that this foregone conclusion isn't quite what you're led to expect. That's a good thing, right? Wrong! The actual truth about the wolf as revealed in the last two chapters was so far-fetched and out there that I would have far preferred the obvious wolf to the actual one. I can't and won't give specifics because that would spoil it, but I will say the ending adds an element of the supernatural world a la JJ Abrams style that is hard to swallow (no disrespect to Mr. Abrams, I love you and "Lost" rocks!). And sadly, the issues extend beyond that.

There are so many twists by the end of the story that you get the impression that the artist/author put a ton of ideas in a hat, picked them out one-by-one, and played one twist out until the height of tension was found only to shout "BUT THEN...*insert random twist*". Some of the twists worked for the story and kept it from being boring. However, there were some that not only didn't seem to have a place and were hard to swallow, but that actually left you wondering what the point of them was, slapping a hand to your cheek, and saying an underwhelmed "Uh Huh". It gave the overall impression that the author was saying, "Hey! Look at how witty I am!" rather than trying to formulate a cohesive and entertaining plot.

As for characters, well, I thought they were all decent. Some more development would have been nice, but they all served their purpose. It really did play out like a horror movie in this fashion (you know, you've got a group of people, they all have their own issues, but those issues are largely irrelevant because they're all going to die anyway). I will say that I did ultimately feel that Mitsuki was done well and was highly intriguing in certain parts. Hajime was also a forerunner for good character, but then a certain hastily tacked on twist involving him ruined him for me. Especially because said twist didn't seem to serve any purpose other than being there for added shock value.

The art fit the style, and I noticed that the way the clothing wrinkled was particularly well done. Also, the numerous shots of the gosh darn creepy rabbit suit heads maintained a frightening tone and will ensure that you never look at bunnies the same way again. They were a great signature to the story. I want a poster...maybe not in my bedroom though. Waking up to those freaky rabbit heads looking at me would only inspire some acid trippy nightmares. The one downside to the art was that there were a few scenes drawn in such a way that it was difficult at first to figure out the action and what was happening. Also, there seem to be points in which action is implied rather than shown. For example, there's a scene in which three characters are together in a room, then abruptly, one of them is gone. It's implied that this character walked away, however, there's no panel actually showing this action, so it was somewhat confusing. *POOF* Now you see 'em, now you don't.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable series...until the end completely destroyed it and made me laugh at how ridiculous it was. So, if you like suspense, horror, are a patient person (some of the story does seem rather drawn out at points), and are willing to stretch your imagination to accept unlikely plot twists at the end, you'll enjoy this manga. Basically, if you have the time, give it a go. If your time is precious and you value endings that make perfect sense, I'd try something else.

Rapid :fire: Review

Title: Doubt

A/M: Manga

Synopsis: A harmless cellphone game about Rabbits turns into a murderous killing spree as a handful of teens are caught in a deadly game of Werewolf in which one of them is the murderer and they are the helpless rabbits.

Pros:
-Moves at a nice clip, is over before you know it and doesn’t try to overstay it’s welcome
-Gives enough of a cliffhanger to make you curious about the next installment

Cons:
-A copy and paste of every slasher film, television show, game or book that has ever been made
-Predictable from start to finish, almost laughably so
-Characters are all drenched in cliché in a way that unfortunately missed an opportunity to poke fun of, in fact, had this manga been a farce, it would have played much better than it did taking itself seriously

Rating: 4/10

What did you give Doubt?

Doubt is a horror/psycholigical manga writen by Yoshiki Tonogai that's about teens in Tokyo who plays this mobile game and they meet IRL to play this game.
Story 8/10 it’s intresting and i find realy want to continue reading it, not the most elevated story but still decent.
Art 6/10 nothing super spectacular it’s a pretty typical horror style.
Characters 10/10 i realy think all of them are intresting to read about they all are pretty well made and i realy like everyone.
Enjoyment 10/10 I realy enjoyed reading this.
Overall 8/10 a realy good manga and if you like horror and psychological stuff you will maybe enjoy this.
Other it’s crazy this isn’t a anime yet they should adapt it.

Who Doubt still has not read, it should be read quickly.

The story is really good.and for those who liked the Saw series then you'll probably see some parallel.

Story:
The story begins with a rather creepy story about a wolf who snuck in disguised as a bunny into a group of bunnies and one by one killed the bunnies. The bunnies realized that one among them was the wolf, and that if they killed the correct one, then they'd be safe, but otherwise, they'd all of the wolf as the fed on. The manga states then this is such a game, and transitions to a group of kids that all have met up online, and now meet in person, due to their involvement in a game called "Rabbit Doubt".


Character:
Mitsuki, Yuu, Haruka, Rei, Eiji, Hajime.
Well the main character, Yuu, already knows one of the girls Mitsuki, but the other three are new to him, and one of the kids does not show up at all.
I personally like Rei. she is soooo sweet. xD


Results:
I like this manga very much. I like the drawing style, story, character and the manga is never boring. ^-^

If you enjoy suspense and survival, this will be a great read for you. Unlike most survival series, the victims aren't forced to kill each other but find out the cultprit aka, the wolf. This manga always keeps things I interesting by making everyone seem like a fair suspect and the relationships are filled with DOUBT. The ending is defiantly chilling and unexpected. The characters are fairly likable.... until their true colors come into play. The more we know about these characters, more questions will be raised.The artwork isn't anything groundbreaking but it does manage to do a good job at capturing a creepy atmosphere. Let the doubt game commence.

Doubt is a completly brain teasing manga, a complete master peice. It is about a group of people who are playing a game called Rabbit Doubt which is about (how the story decribes.) All of the players are rabbits in a colony, and one amongst them is randomly chosen to be a wolf that infiltrated the group of rabbits and every round, the wolf kills off a rabbit, and every round, the group tries to figure out which of the rabbits is actually a wolf in disguise.

As you would think it really is not the person you think it is and the reason why the person is killing is kind of mundane and is making mountains out of mole hills. It is something better than anything that America could cook up, lol. It has very good art and great writing and is devilishly bloodly.

On one page it even made me jump, it was very frightening.

At first, I was skeptical about the series, but I decided to give it a try. However, by the first few pages, I was completely hooked.

The story is well-crafted, and the artist keeps readers guessing at every page. It was full of enjoyable twists and turns. Every chapter gave me chills and I found myself up late on a weekday night trying to smuggle in a few more pages while my mother told me to gtfo the computer. Momentarily after my reading sessions, I felt brief fear of things I had never been afraid of - things as trivial as the dark, or being alone in a room.
What I love a lot about this manga are the characters. What I really enjoyed was how each character's story and background came out throughout the series, and wasn't just presented to you in a large bundle at the introduction. Each of them have their own reasons of why they could be the Wolf.The characters are also very diverse and there is, of course, more to them than meets the eye. ;D
The art could have been better, but I felt like it did a good job with the morbid nature of the plot. The emotion in the story was very well done. If someone decided to take out all the text in the story, I dare say that you would still be on the verge of nightmares.

I completed the series in about two days, and since then, I find a strange obsession with drawing bloody rabbit heads all over my schoolwork.

Personally, I didnt LOVE this manga.
Others, however might find it pretty enjoyable. I dont like beating around the bush, so lets get straight to business~

STORY (8)
The story is pretty good--its somewhat original, at least. You have a popular interactive cell phone game called RABBIT DOUBT and a group of kids who suddenly find themselves experiencing firsthand the horror of having no one to trust in life-or-death circumstances.
"How does this happen?" you might ask.
Well, these kids are trapped in a dark, underground maze in the middle of nowhere. And they discover one of their friends brutally murdered in a room. They realize that the killer is among them and desperately search for a way out. 'Cept, they all suspect one another, and while they waver between doubt and trust, the killer strikes again!

ART (9)
I lurve this art style. I think you'll like it too. I hope you do.
The facial expressions are nice, you can tell when someone's confused or scared. The creepy scences look creeeeepy. And you can practically tell how unnerving it feels to be in that dark, dank, windowless middle-of-nowhere.

CHARACTERS (6)
Ugh. This was my least favorite part of the manga. The girls were clingy and weak and wimpy and insecure. Forget having no flavor, these girls left a bad taste in my mouth. I tried to like them. I really did. But there's only so much ANYONE can put up with.
The others were OKAY, but they werent amazing. They were all too busy suspecting each other and trying to make it out alive to try to make a good impression, I guess.

ENJOYMENT (7)
If you've read/seen Death Note, Code Geass, or maybe if you've read other psychological/horror themed manga, this isnt anything AMAZING. But its worth a read, if you're looking for something to kill time with. Going by the MyAnimeList definition of "7", its "good." Its not "very good" or "fair". Its not "great" or "mediocre". Its simply "good".

OVERALL (7)
Math time! (8+9+6+7)/4 = 7.5
BUT, MAL does not have a 7.5 in their scoring system.
So I'm going to be a little unfair here and round it down to a 7. Why? Like I said, its "good" but, in my humble opinion, not VERY good. Blame it on the wimpy characters.

I hope this helped, and I hope I wasnt too biased~

Doubt, just as the name says, is all about doubting. The game of “Rabbit Doubt” is basically about finding the lying “wolf” amongst the group of “rabbits.”

You would expect this manga to be all about backstabbing, distrust, and a whole lot of confusion. But essentially what Doubt boils down to is hardly more than a manga version of the Saw movies –– especially, the first one. You remember Saw, right? That movie where people get kidnapped and tortured? Well, there’s no torture or traps here, but the similarities between the two are uncanny.

The manga starts off normally enough, when a group of strangers meet up in one location. They are all playing the game “Rabbit Doubt,” and the only way the can identify each other is by the rabbit keychain on their cellphones. But things quickly turn for the worse when they go for some karaoke and the main character, Yuu Aikawa, gets attacked in the bathroom.

The players wake up in a strange room, and try to figure out a way to escape. They find a dead body in the room next door and have no idea why they are here… I could go on and on about how similar this manga is to Saw. There is even someone surveillancing them the whole time. If you love the Saw movies, then you’re going to love Doubt. If Saw was not your type of movie, you won’t find much appeal here.

There is a brief love story towards the end, and personally I found learning about the characters’ pasts to be one of the more interesting aspects of the manga. Doubt, like its namesake, will keep you doubting and guessing from the beginning through the end. Many times when I was positive who the wolf was, I started “doubting” myself just a few chapters later.

The dialogue was okay: I found it a bit cheesy at times, even for a horror manga. The characters seemed to scream and shout a lot; luckily, because it’s a manga, we don’t have to hear them.

The one main peeve I had with the manga is that even though the plot was unique and different from all other anime or manga out there (that’s what got me interested in this manga in the first place), what started out as a cool psychological horror story slowly slipped into anime clichéness. You know…you have the handicapped loli, the smart guy with the glasses, the tough, cool guy… If the characterization had been just a little bit better, I think I would’ve enjoyed this manga more.

Still, the dramatic scenes gave me an enjoyable sense of tension. I loved the creepy atmosphere, as well as trying to solve the mystery of the barcodes.

It is doubtful that horror fans will pass up on reading Doubt, but I doubt they will give accolades to its doubtfully logical ending.

Spoilers ahead I guess:



As soon as I saw the faces of the characters in chapter 1 this is what I thought:
Bully ass looking guy gonna die
Innocent looking guy is mc and gonna survive cuz mc
Wheelchair girl gonna be loved by everyone and die straight off just to be revealed to be mastermind
Normal girl gonna be mc's love interest and gonna go crazy or something but survive
Choker girl gonna die
Cool composed dude gonna survive cuz hes the cool composed dude


I was correct and this trash was more predictable than the ending of Saw 1
at least the art looked kinda good i guess

Rabbit Doubt {“Doubt” for short} is a murder-mystery story telling of a mobile horror game becoming reality. Six young adults deal with their past mistakes while trying to survive and find the “wolf.”

A bit about the game Rabbit Doubt: players are rabbits, and one player is a wolf in disguise. The wolf goes around and kills the rabbits, the other players goal is to find out who the wolf is before it kills all of the rabbits. If the rabbits hang the wolf, the rabbits win. If all other rabbits are dead, the wolf wins.

Story: 9/10

The story of Doubt is short and sweet. The length was just long enough to get all points and plot twists across. The twists keep you guessing on who the wolf is, and that alone is enough to keep readers engrossed. The little things mentioned by the characters end up leading to something bigger, which I like. You have to pay attention and keep a tab of all the clues handed to you. I thought the ending was only slightly predicable. But I suppose everyone will come up with their own conclusions.

Art 9/10

The art for Doubt is good enough for an anime. The front cover of it almost looks exactly like an anime screenshot. The art gets a little mundane after a while, there are no beautiful-looking panels or pages, and I think the artist was fully capable of creating more than one. I was so enthralled with the story, and reading, that one of the panels had actually scared me and I jumped. The characters were very distinguishable, even when you were only looking at parts, though I wish there was a little more detail added to the landscape.

Characters: 7/10

The characters in Doubt were pretty stock characters; there was the outcast, the hot popular girl… But what really made the characters was their dirty little secrets that were revealed, and made you see the characters in a different light. They were all written well to their parts, too. The stock personality traits added to the mystery of the story by giving motives or lack thereof. The only gripe that I have about this is that there was no development in any of the characters. The characters at the end didn’t have any revelation, or change in their ways. But I suppose I’ll let this one slide, because any big change in the characters would have either skewed or unnecessarily elongated the story.

Overall: 8/10

The beginning is quite reminiscent of the Saw horror film series. And if you’re looking for something similar to that, then this manga is for you. Although the characters are a little cliché, the short, suspenseful manga is highly recommended by me. Even if you’re not hooked within the first few chapters, I say stick with it, because it only gets better. If you’re concerned about the gore level. There’s some, but it’s not so explicit that you can’t look at it. It’s classic, Japanese gore.

You just have to see a movie so you can understand the
game

SAW
is the same thing just in anime style but this time is about guessing
that all

For some strange reason, I am absolutely infatuated with this manga. It's sick, demented, and twisted... and I love it. Doubt is an online game come to life, where each character is slowly being cut out and killed. Who is first, who is next? Nobody knows except the killer wolf. A completely demented manga that makes you go, quote, "Hm... interesting opener... decent characters, kinda funky, good art... HOLY SHIT." unquote.

All the characters of Doubt have their own special persona. Each one from a different "cliq" and you get to see how the characters begin to develop bonds between one and another despite their differences. But, as well, Doubt shows you how easy these new bonds can be broken. This manga shows how when threatened with death, the worst comes out of people, and you truly begin to know who are your friends and who are your enemies.

when members of an online game went on for an offline meeting, everybody started to end up dead. the plot of this manga is cliche with any other thriller plot but unique in its own sense with the application of newer trends. so to speak, the manga is so good that readers would find themselves involved at the story and its characters, questioning what these people have in common? why should they die? how the story would end. what secrets would be revealed.

it's too early to comment on possible endings with how the story is progressing and always catching the reader's thoughts but if you're craving for a good thriller manga to read, then rabbit doubt is for you. the clean art and the intriguing plot speaks it all.

Doubt is a very generic survival horror manga. It involves a few characters who don't know each other very well, quickly jumping into cliches from horror movies.

It isn't very dramatic as most characters are killed off screen and with little evidence pointing to the real culprit. Therefore, since the characters aren't trying to solve the mistery like the reader likely would want, it doesn't seem to have a plot.

While it is also made to look like a guessing game (kind of like psychological horror), most of the actions don't contribute to this feeling. Certain panels are clearly trying to set up a character as the culprit while it is fairly obvious they can't be because of how cheesy it looks.

By the end of the manga, character descriptions for the main cast are explained, as many plot twists are told to the reader. Instead of it being discovered throughtout the story, everything is just said at the end. These plot twists are so ridiculous, the reader likely wrote them off as soon as they thought of them.

Predictably, the villain is a crazy person who is just messing with people because of a childhood trauma, through supernatural powers (which didn't exist until the very end).

In general, it is a very basic and uninvolved saw-like manga. For a better experience, simply the beggining of Danganronpa is able to achieve a much better version of this psychological horror guessing game.

this is my favorite manga of all time! its like a better verion of saw but you dont know the "wolf". the plots great, the action and suspense is awesome. its soooo good i read the 15 chapters in one day. i was hooked on it

Doubt, on the surface, sounds amazingly interesting kids participating in a game of death, dying one by one and the killer is (surprise) one of them. It sounds reminiscent of series like Battle Royale, but where BR succeeds Doubt ultimately fails.


Storywise Doubt starts of as an enthralling thiller, it's paced very well and strikes a great balance between doling out enough info to keep the reader interested and keeping enough draped in mystery that you want to read more. And you will read more you will read and read and read up to the climax of the story but then it falls flat on it's face. Hard. Everything just unravels, twists and genre shifts galore; love triangles, sci fi, crime drama, it's like a grab bag of different genres that the author found cool but couldn't decide which to stick to so...."Why not toss em all in there." everything feels so tacked on it becomes absurd.

I have no gripes with the art, the character designs aren't particularly amazing and I feel that's why they work so well with the story. What wins points is the scenery and use of shading, the artist sets an amazing mood. Without the scenery the story wouldn't be as interesting as it was.

Characterwise there was much to be desired for certain people and the exact opposite for others. Shoveling on small factoids that other characters mention in passing is not good development. Certain characters receive the shaft so hard it hurts *coughEijicough*. The sad thing about Doubt is that the absurd twists might have worked if they were spread across the cast instead of concentrated on the same 2 or 3 characters.

There were some bright spots in the cast though. One being the main character who is so annoyingly naive that he does an amazing job of moving the story forward. He's basically a bicycle, very little is noteworthy about a bike but when it does what is intended...Whoo! The other bright spot is odd since it's only a mask, the rabbit mask is haunting, it gives the killer a face. Just like the main character it does what it needs to, it puts a mindless killing machine in the same room as normal teens. Cliche but it works.


Enjoyment. I truly don't know what to say...it was like watching a parade balloon, it starts off so vibrant engaging and beautiful, your brain can't comprehend its parade balloony goodness. Then....gradually it starts to deflate you try to hammer in the initial awe you had to convince yourself that it will work out. The balloon twists, jerks, sticks out some colorful pieces, and wheezes; struggling to keep itself afloat but then it all goes out in a small puff; and in the end thats all Doubt amounts to. Take this all with a grain of salt if you must but please if you leave this review with anything I want it to be this: go into doubt with exactly what the title says...Doubt. Go in doubting that it will be as good as it sets itself up to be.

Overall 7/10 if only for what could have been.
