Mousugu Shinu Hito (English: Seeking for Death) is a very harsh deconstruction of the harem genre.
It asks the question of why would all of these women want such a passive an indecisive man's affection in the first place, and answers it with pure cynicism.
Like most harems, where females vie for the MC's affection because "He was kind to me", the women end up flocking to Riku Kominato for the same reasons, but this is where the similarity ends.
Due to the "Die Anyday" video, any woman in Riku's "harem" will eventually die if they are not chosen by Riku. This is where the main conflict occurs,

tl;dr : Please don't do this to yourself. Please DON'T.
You may be thinking "eh, it's just 16 chapters. At worst I'll only waste some time" but DON'T. It's not even "so bad it's good" bad, it's just plain bad. So now that this is out of the way, let's get on with the task of explaining why this manga sucks (I'm doing this in no particular order, this is my first review. It will suck, bear with me). Okay so let's start with the only good point : the art (7). It's okay. Not excellent but it's pretty good at representing distressed people and is the only ...

Everything you thought about the harem genre to be destroyed in one manga.
This manga has an exceptionally dark story line that has a mix of mystery together with the story. I would describe this manga as something really 'messed up'. People breaking down and losing control of their logical thinking and going to extremes to survive. In other words, the story is much like a 'death game' story where everyone will stake everything to survive. Character developments are well done. The characters change and adapt through the course of the story and have interesting backgrounds. Its a story that keeps you engaged and wanting to know what ...

I wish this manga was as good as it needed to be.
Story - 5: The story of "Seeking for Death" starts pretty good. It seems like when it comes to unconventional stories about romance (this one is actually anti-romance), they are usually mystery and science fiction and this manga is no exception. There are a lot of unexplained elements that really keep you on alert. The very fabric of reality seems to bend because of some videos that some person created. The characters must find out how to end everything by wading through a web of deceptions from all parties. The best part of the ...

-MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS-
Mousugu Shinu Hito shows the true human nature in its purest form. a living being's will to survive no matter what, to do everything they can to not DIE. Kominato Riku, as said in the synopsis, is your generic high school student with a liking towards videogames and therefore wanting to become a game desginer. Nothing special there, is there? And then the ''Die Anyday'' trend of video's began to happen. And to make a short story even more short. It fucked up his life. This harem wasn't 'kindly' built up. it is a pure forced thing and that is was I love it. little bits ...

Prepare yourselves for a long review.
Mousugu Shinu Hito begins as a memorable deconstruction of the harem genre. The MC's harem is forced on him, he can only choose one "true love," and the rest of the harem will die after he makes his choice. Accordingly, each of the female leads does everything in her power (in some cases crossing ethical lines) to woo him in order to ensure her own survival. ==Story: 5/10== It takes a lot of explanation to suspend disbelief that these dramatic circumstances have befallen these seemingly everyday characters in a situation that, other than the disturbing video that causes the forced harem, closely ...

You're a few pages in on the first chapter, the art is cute and charming and you've been introduced to a few of the main characters in a very happy slice-of-life fantasy way. You quickly learn a basic summary of these characters, and as each new character appears, you start to get the feeling that they're all pretty generic archetypes. The sweet childhood best friend, the beautiful and popular school idol who is somehow friends with the male protag, the cool and responsible student council president... Oh man, are you wrong.
The one thing that really stood out to me about Mousugu Shinu Hito was the ...

First things first, there are SPOILERS!!!! now then onto the story. I can say that I actually enjoyed this series it was a nice little kick back read I admit that though the ending was little predictable (given that "Riko's" body was tossed in the pit. However when it come to the "psychological" science in the series its basically just drawing out survival of the fittest and or the pressure to win the heart of the mc (which is personally a great idea). Which was different approach, but it really doesn't drive the story into the rabbit hole that it could've gone to. The
