Synopsis

A victim of endless bullying, Aito Eyama is plagued by his classmates' constant taunts and beatings. However, through a fortuitous turn of events, he receives a strange invitation to the Captivity Game, where victory promises unbelievable wealth. To participate, he must accept the role of captor and choose one victim to imprison for a month. For Eyama, the only choice is Aya Kirishima, the ringleader of his bullies and the source of all his suffering. The rules of the game are simple: the jailer may do whatever they please with their inmate, barring murder; but in order to win the game, the captor's identity must remain hidden. Exemption from the law, an isolated cell, and the funds to purchase supplies—all the necessary tools are provided.

As Eyama administers his sadistic revenge and "divine" retribution, he encounters other captors, each with their own hidden agendas. Meanwhile, Aya refuses to be a compliant prisoner and will go to any length to escape captivity. However, her endeavors threaten to awaken a darkness buried inside Eyama that craves to be unleashed.

It was a good story, all things considered. You usually expect this sort of story to be really weird with really mentally ill characters all around. Yk regular torture porn. But overall it was an enjoyable story, with an exciting plot, an interesting main character, with an interesting character arc, and nearly every single character had an interesting and well-thought-out character arc, which is rare in this genre. Honestly, I think the manga should have been 100 chapters long. Chapters 50-60 were really contrived and had too much exposition, and they kinda fucked up the pacing around halfway through but overall I recommend it. It's ...

The premise of this manga and the characters were somewhat interesting at first, but it took a huge nosedive in quality and the author just started bullshitting his way to the end.

Aside from the atrocious writing, the characters in this manga are so detached from reality, it's as if they all have bipolar disorder, and a common trope in this manga is basically that if someone wrongs you, it's a valid excuse to go and destroy their life for the sake of it.

It's almost as if the way the characters are written is satirical. Please do not waste your time with this.
