Goth is a short gruesome psychological mystery horror manga. The story is about two high school students who are interested in death and serial murderers and solves them whenever one comes their way. Now I say they solve them but actually it is the female character that gets captured by the murderer in every chapter and it is the male high school student who solves it, though he does not call the police as he is almost as twisted and deranged and the murderer usually escapes.

I was hoping for abit more when I started reading this. I feel as though it could have made a really good mystery manga if it wasn't for a few things. The first is that it concentrates much less on the mystery and is much more about the gore and blood, and although it is a horror manga hence you should expect this, there's no point to it really. Also, the characters are abit generic. What with the male character being the hero and being a genius AND finding out who the serial murderer is in two seconds flat AND having all the power as he saves the female character over and over again- it's like alot of other manga characters.

But apart from all that it is quite entertaining. A shame it's only 5 chapters long. And as the final two chapters are when it really gets good. You kind of feel that if it was longer it would have made a much bigger impression as those last two chapters leave you wanting more.
