I have never been so captivated by a story so much so that I had to write a review for it as soon as I finished it. Whilst reading Doubt I had to remind myself to breathe because I was holding my breath from the suspense on so many occasions! It sort of reminded me of a Battle Royale - Saw hybrid so if you like either of these you're in for a treat ^^
So, lets get down to why this manga is so good!

Story - for a short manga of only four volumes it does not disappoint and the rule quality over quantity certainly ... applies to Doubt. Whilst reading I got to about chapter 13 when I thought to myself "This is really good but I don't see how they can drag this out for another 7 chapters?" but I was incredibly mistaken! The plot has enough twists in it to make your head spin and jaw drop - a few times I actually gasped out loud. Even though it is short the quality of this story line should be recognised along with epics such as Battle Royale!

Artwork - there was nothing to complain about with the artwork, it wasn't the best I've ever seen but it's not anything to sniff at and it mirrored the storyline perfectly.

Characters - obviously you shouldn't expect major character development for this manga but as characters go these were your perfect bunch!

Ending - this is probably the most important part of a manga as it can make or break the storyline for the reader. Considering what happens in the story the ending was as good as it is going to get but this is a positive thing. If the ending had been any different it wouldn't have been realistic and not in keeping with the storyline. It's a shame but not everyone can run of into the sunset and live happily ever after - but don't let that put you off because you will definately not be left disappointed after reading Doubt.

Overall - I can't stress enough how much you would enjoy this manga!

Thanks for reading, as my first review I hope it was ok! ^^
