Suspense

by dreamwatcher7

Rating: N/A

This manga has a lot going. A lot of secrets and a lot of characters with hidden agendas. This really makes for a great suspenseful story.

The art simply looks amazing and the characters are drawn very beautifully. Theres a bit of ecchi, but not to the point that it draws away from the excellent story. I really hope a group picks this one up since updates are far and in between.

This manga i picked up to read by pure chance and got to say was surprised it excellent story full of suspense and action that keeps you on the edge from the 1st chapter and keeps on getting better and better all the time, I can not wait to read more of this store so fingers crossed its done by a fast transulater or scanlater. amd they keep up the excellent work.

10/10.

Misunderstanding?

by markdarkangel

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

This manga builds up all this supense and drama and in the end.... it's a big misunderstanding of events to the point of me laughing so hard that i was fooled. Anyway, the story spills in suspense and mystery and tries to let the reader figure out the mystery of what is going on in the manga. It's pretty subjective and the reader can have different secerios in their head on how it's going to end.

I think it was pretty good from begining to end because the ending catches you off guard without warning, at least for me anyway. P.S That teacher with the glasses is scum and deserves to rot in hell:-)

decent

This is a decent psychological thriller. The story has a lot of suspense and keeps you entertained. The children's backgrounds help highlight the atmosphere of mistrust and drive the story forward.

However, the story is set up in a way that the mystery of the island should have been revealed halfway through. In order to maintain the mystery and suspense, the events become more and more forced and outrageous. This change is so obvious that you'll likely guess the ending halfway through.

Overall, this is an average suspense story and you can read it if you enjoy psychological thrillers.

good suspense, bad payoff.

Honestly, reading this author works, he knows how to keep audience excited, due to his skillful use of suspense, and intriguing mystery and also knows how to make big anticlimaxes

The psychological thriller aspect was very exciting, I understand the kids misinterpreting events their viewpoints, but when we read the comic itself the adults like very sinister when in end you can't help feel the author troll, and thinks once he got audience excited he just doesn't care about the ending since he already has the audience.

Everything felt anticlimactic since,

the characters deaths being actually injuries instead, so no one got killed everything felt cheap, given how tense and dark the story was given, instead will had what I call the infamously named "disney ending" which feels jarring compare to the mature, dark and gritty tone .

My advice just read for the skillful suspense and thriller elements, but the payoff form this author will always or mostly disappoint.

Subjectivity

by jasperv

Rating: N/A

to write a horror thriller with ghosts and conspiracy while sticking to objectivity is a near impossible feat
yet its what this author attempted
whats different makes this different from other manga is as opposed to the others were you know more and you have a large view of the truths and characters
in this one you don't know any more truths or view then the protagonists
and you get fooled when they get and you believe what they believe
and also one of the antagonists is also victim to this
and thats what makes this more realist then any other horror story

That was an enjoyable way to fill in a bit of time, but it's pretty dumb. I wish the hidden mysteries and such had turned out to be as interesting as it was implied - but yeah, 'a big nothing'. It's worth reading, but I doubt I'll remember anything about it in a couple of months.

masterpiece! But don't be expecting too much gore, this is still "kid"-friendly ;)

I truly love how the author tried to tie the story to real life while keeping the suspense high. I don't want to spoil anything so i'll just say this: This author does a really good job of tying things up. 😀

In many ways, this story is a lot like Sherlock Holmes. The readers pretty much live through the characters themselves, and the readers do not know anything beyond what the main characters themselves know. I love it like this because it gives a lot of possibilities!
