A group of young people are shocked to find themselves in an empty room and are soon forced to play a game known as 'rabbit doubt'. They have to figure out who among them is the lying 'wolf' out of the innocent 'rabbits'. Otherwise they will all, including the 'rabbits',
be killed.
Let's just say that the actual plot and characters didn't live up to the expectations I had considering the eye-catching cover design and equally intriguing premise.
I finished all 20 chapters in less than an hour so this likely won't be an annoyingly long read for most people. Unfortunately, that means that there isn't a whole lot of dialogue. I guess this lack of depth can be attributed to the fact that this is a horror story which isn't so much character driven as it is about solving the mystery. To give you an idea of what the characters are like, I'd say they were similar to how teens are often portrayed in Hollywood slashers. One of the better slashers though with less irritating/moronic characters.
The art is good. But then again I haven't read a whole lot of manga and I can appreciate anything with better/less sloppy artwork than Lament of the Lamb. The art was probably the best thing about this, along with the premise.
There are some very creepy moments in this manga. Especially if you're reading it at night by yourself. And if you have pet rabbits. Personally, I think this manga would have been better if it was about rabbit suicide. Don't worry because I'm not crazy. If you've read the manga then I'm sure you'd agree that it would have been so much cooler than how it actually turned out.
I felt it was a waste mostly because the ending was very poor. The reasoning that is given after having read 20 chapters was pure cliche(it was unpredictable though, I'll given them that). I'm not the type to get pissed off after reading something inoffensive, but this was a pretty big waste of an hour I could have better spent being unconscious.
Anyway, I have seen and read a good amount of horror stories so maybe that is why I didn't love this while most other people did.
I'm relieved that rabbits don't actually have red eyes though. That would be pretty creepy.
