you know that bit in arrested development where he sees a "warning dead pigeon" sign on the fridge, finds a dead pigeon, and goes "I didn't know what I was expecting" ?

yeah.

this is so good but so fucked

[Gabe · Rating 4 out of 5]

Schlocky and over-dramatic. Slight gore and fanservice, but honestly... I'm still into it.

[Bryce · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked this one more than the last, but I don't really care where it goes from here.

Catches you attention to the story and solid introduction to the main problem

[Grand Maître Hibou · Rating 2 out of 5]

Manga toujours hyper cliché (personnage masc sanguin, personnage fem doux manipulé et sexualisée), mais je continue parce que les plot twist sont pas mal.

[Terrence · Rating 3 out of 5]

The cover features Haruka. She's the hypotenuse (short side) in the love triangle, which is unfortunate, but I'm hoping maybe she can emerge by the end of the series. Of course, in a series that involves death, I'm really concerned about all these characters well beings.

ok things are becoming more interesting but the objectification remains and it’s honestly disgusting

[Dogfood · Rating 4 out of 5]

Die Serie ist eine komplette, zusammenhängende Geschichte. Ein Einstieg mit dem 2ten Band ist daher sinnlos.

In der zweiten Hälfte des ersten Bandes erfahren wir, …
… dass es sich beim Toten um den Vater von Shintaro handelt, der ihn regelmäßig mißhandelt hat. Außerdem werden die fünf Kids von einem Anrufer mit der verschwundenen Leiche erpresst. Der Anrufer bringt sie dazu, in ein unbekanntes Haus zu gehen, wo sie in der Badewanne eine Leiche entdecken. Diese Leiche müssen sie mit Knochensägen auseinander sägen und verscharren.

Mit dieser Prämisse geht es in den zweiten Band. Der zweiten Band steigert noch einmal die Komplexität: die unbekannte Leiche wird gefunden und die Polizei nimmt Ermittlungen auf – u.a. ausgerechnet die Schwester von Haruka.

Die fünf Kids, zwei Mädchen und drei Jungs, haben komplizierte, wechselhafte Verhältnisse untereinander. Der Erpresser kennt viele Details der Kids und nutzt dieses aus, um am Ende des zweiten Bandes zu einem schockierenden Schlag auszuholen.

War der erste Band noch so etwas wie „handelsübliche“ Exposition, geht der Plot mit dem zweiten Band endgültig in eine unorthodoxe und spannende Richtung, die bei mir Vergleiche mit „Sevens“ oder „Schweigen der Lämmer“ auslösen. Wer nach dem zweiten Band nicht eingefangen wurde, für den wird die Serie nichts mehr.

Ansonsten bleibt es dabei: es ist ein Manga. Das bringt mit sich, dass Dialoge auch mal über 20 Seiten ausgebreitet werden. Geblieben sind auch einige eingestreute, sehr grenzwertig aufgesexte Darstellungen der beiden Mädchen.

[Soobie has fog in her brain · Rating 4 out of 5]

Beh, questo manga continua a sorprendermi!

Shintaro è senza dubbio il mio personaggio preferito. OK, è vagamente sociopatico ma è votato fino all'ultimo alla protezione dei suoi amici.

Il primo cadavere, quello che hanno smembrato e nascosto, viene ritrovato e cominciano le indagini. Ad occuparsene ci sono la sorella di Haruka e un detective completamente svitato che ogni tanto lancia risatine assurde.

Poi, sorpresa! C'è un'altra missione da compiere e questa volta sarà ancora più complicato. E l'incubo diventa sempre più angosciante. Anche perché il tipo al telefono li tortura psicologicamente.

This series while not quite what I expected is pretty enjoyable.
Half coming of age and half crime thriller about a group of ALevel students who get involved with murder while also dealing with romantic feelings is definitely an interesting genre and the story is pretty fun to follow along with, especially when you don't know what's going to happen next.
I do wish the covers were different though 😖

[Ken Pham · Rating 2 out of 5]

The plot is shaping up into something more interesting. I am mainly intrigued on what the theme of the story will be. I think it has to do something with either the morality of death or something a bit more subtle like a stand-in for cultural taboo. But I'm still unsure about what the theme could be yet

Somehow had more fanservice than the last volume. Just leave Haruka out of the love triangle please. It does absolutely no favors to her character

[Ezma · Rating 4 out of 5]

Exactly the kind of edgelord bullshit we like. Dark twists and reveals aplenty, along with some major questions getting built. It’s a little too trashy to be good but this is proving to be a fun ride.

Read earlier this year, adding late oops.

What a twist!! Was not expecting that at all. Great follow up to the first book.

[Stéphanie · Rating 2 out of 5]

L'histoire en soit est sympathique mais honnêtement on pourrait se passer clairement de toutes les références sexuelles inutiles et limite sexistes.

[Ella87 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Klasse und sehr spannend. Bin gespannt, wie es weitergeht.

[Pata · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dear God this manga is messed up! The first volume was strong yet cliched, but did show indications that the series was heading in a very morbid yet brilliant direction, so I was happy to see that this volume has confirmed what I thought. The anonymous blackmailer has outdone himself and forced the group to do even more messed up things. This manga was already dark but I took an even more macabre turn. The groups close kept secrets and pasts are unraveling, all catalysed by the mysterious caller and the tension is amped up as the police get involved. We find out a little bit more about the five mains, particularly Haruka, who seems like a lovely character but I feel sorry for because of her unrequited love. This instalment is very uncomfortable at times and does get very graphic, which I’m pretty sure will be the case for the whole series. I would not recommend this series to anyone who is sensitive to gore and abuse. I have a few theories on who the antagonist may be but who knows! I have high hopes for this series and I’m absolutely gripped!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
