Above and before everything, Goth is a mystery work. It is honest to the reader and, as such, goes straight to the point, in depicting 5 acts filled with horror and dark moments. With good ideas, that could be better explored.

Our protagonists are Yoru Morino and Itsuki Kamiyama. Both students, from the same classroom. The first chapter shows a hand fixated criminal, that has a wide number of hands of all types, even doll hands. This first part is the portrait of most events in Goth. A crime of murdering sort happens in town, and Itsuki goes to find out. Sometimes, they end up with ... him saving Yoru, and showing more about his past, just like Yoru's.

Itsuki, as depicted in a significan number of times, is far from being normal. He is a lunatic, but bending more to good ends and motives than bad ones. Yoru, although mysterious and silent, has much more in her past than meets the eye. Especially regarding a familiar tragedy, that is responsible for who she is in the moment the story takes place.

The art is on point. It has this classic "gothic" style, very logical to the manga concept. It can be scary, but also hautingly beautiful. I'd like to add Yoru's beauty to the topic. She is an attractive character. Her figure evokes interest, awe, admiration and a uncanny atmosphere all at the same time.

In overall, yes, Goth is a good story. Although I'd prefer it to be more expanded, and with a couple more chapters. Most of the times, its characters potential could be a tad better expored, but, in general, it fulfills exactly what it promises. I'm sure you will have a good time with this manga as I did.

Intense alongside childsplay, it is an okay type of Manga. Story is short and covers the plots within the major characters circumstances. Interlinking between initial of the plot and last final chapter was something downgrading, couldn't justify much more of term GOTH. Mangaka could have added few more criminal activity surrounding the campus and ast last link it with Morino's story. The boy character apart from Itsuki isn't well defined, neither his motives or characteristics. Pretty disappointment in that part.
A good mystery thriller, only because manga had some great cover arts and overall neat drawings. As the title of the manga called 'GOTH', describes a ... persona with obsession with dark objects and occupation, mostly crime acts. Based to the description, storyline shares character with similar interest, who intend to love watching a life getting brutally murdered and sufferings exerted by the victim tends to be the joy and satisfaction for them. Manga is pretty much dark plot with secrets and detective works, centered around two characters Yori Morino and Itsuki Kamiyama.

Goth is a short read with a very interesting initial premise, dark ambience, and nice art. The first chapter had me hooked, and I was excited to see what would come next - but, by the end of the five chapters, it manages to fall flat extremely fast.
There were several plot points and conclusions that felt too contrived, or too conveniently placed for the sake of adding a twist or surprising the reader. The story also manages to completely brush aside some of the story elements that it introduces in the first chapter after presenting them as if they were going to be a major ... focus in the story; it ended up feeling like the first chapter came from a completely different story than the latter chapters. It was also clear that the final chapter was meant to surprise the reader with how it panned out, but each step of it was too predictable to really accomplish that in my opinion.

Still, it's a really short manga with cool art and ambience; it's mediocre overall and I'm still glad I read through it, so solely personal enjoyment is why I give it any higher than a 5/10. But, I can't deny that the story and writing was disappointing.
