(Side note: one of the first reviews I’ve written and it’s 4 am)
Story - 6
The story revolves around pairs going into a death game of sorts chained together. The story really hammers in the themes of no regrets with how the pairs can’t go back after walking in certain rooms. I felt that the ending was very rushed with how twist was reliant on the main character not remembering one of the other characters in a flashback as a child. It also relies on the cliche of “the villain is the one who suggested we should do the thing”.
Art - 7
The art is pretty good and the manga’s plot doesn’t really require stellar art design
Characters - 6
At least half of the characters are like really dumb. The “I know everything but I’m going to let everything play out” archetype is in this manga and I think he’s a good character. As said in the story section, the main antagonist is pretty weak and really drags down the story due to a lack of build-up. I like how the main character has the mumbling/thinking mechanism he has. I haven’t seen another character have this trait and the reason behind it is realistic.
Enjoyment - 7
I may sound like a broken record here but the ending really soured the manga for me. Overall it was enjoyable until that point.
Overall - 6
I probably won’t remember this manga in a week but it was a good read at the time I read it.
