I love death games, despite that I would have to say that, I think nearly every single one is the same, I can even predict who is going to survive at the end and in which order the last survivors wil die. SPOILERS FOR...EVERY DEATH GAME I GUESS, everything in brackets are spoilers. (the last survivors literally in every manga or show are smart and serious guy, the cute girl who is maybe in love with the main guy and of course the main guy himself, first one of them to die is of course the smart guy that I love in every manga but still,then the same thing happens, either the girl turns out to be the organisator or anything, or when main guy doesn't know what to do, the girl tries to kill him, main guy fumbles but survives, there are exceptions but still, tons of death game stories are the same, and I love them.) So about the manga, it was a good read, I read it in one night, started at 4AM finished at 5-6AM so yeah I really enjoyed it. artstyle in manga is nothing unique, but art itself is great, gore elements were drawn on a really high level, so like maybe all of us are, if you are reading it for gore, you can check it out, so yeah solid. Story (5.5/10) Yeah, what did you expect, it is a gore death game manga with six chapters, but even considering that, there is an interesting flashback, well not really a great flashback, but it was kinda complicated to say who is wrong and right so bonus 0.5 points on that Characters (5/10) I love good characters, but I kinda think that survival mangas have something you can call an advantage, but it is really difficult to fully use that advantage, characters are already in a death or life situation, if conveing their emotions correctly, reader may feel like characters, are already well developed. This manga I wouldn't say conveied their emotions poorly, but it really didn't have that thing that would make any character stand out, but characters were not boring, so that's a plus Art (8.5/10) Really solid art, gore elements as I said were great, but the only thing I will pick on is, that really many mangas have simillar or even the same artsyle, that's not really that much of a downside but still art was great. Enjoyment (9/10) It was really easy to read, I haven't felt the feeling of, yeah maybe tomorrow, I really enjoyed. Overall (6/10) Yeah arithmetics don't match, at the beginning I wanted to read a manga called Penalty School, but I couldn't remember the name, Ithought the name was pentaly school, so I stumbled upon this manga, I enjoyedd it, if you are into gore I would recommend, if not, then I guess not, why are you even here what did you expect. Solid 6 or maybe bit lower, still not bad.
