To be perfectly honest, I'm in it for the torture porn.
The plot is completely convoluted and the characters are... I don't know even know what they are.
They talk a whole bunch, but little of it is particularly interesting...
The art is ok. I'm not a fan of this style, especially for gore, and I think the violence could've been more explicit (instead it's mostly just a lot of blood), but that's just my preference.

I guess it feeds off the snuff genre, but even when translated to film, there's an element of secrecy to those things. Not so much here.
The main group just does whatever. Sure, they manage to be victorious (and thus avoid punishment according to the Dead Tube's rules), but I would've loved to see what other teams were up to and how they failed and what was done to them.
Because of this, the setting feels very isolated and disconnected from reality, even though other characters had been introduced, they were just killed off.
The mains aren't especially well developed, mostly because we don't know a lot about them. Most is still a mystery, I guess for mystery's sake, but they aren't particularly well written either.
All in all, if you want some gratuitous violence and nudity, this might be for you.
Don't be discouraged by the chatter. Blood will soon follow. ;p

It has gore, which is my favorite. The storyline is so weird. That girl (the shameless one, forgot her name :'( ) tells him to keep recording the video. And she is embarrassed?
@great k
It's really rude to say that. You didn't like it, okay. Keep your hate to yourself. But what's up with saying "if you like this you have some underling psychological issues"? Anybody can like this, you're no one to tell us what we should like and if we like something what we become. It's none of your business if we like it or not. It just depends on a person if they want to like it or not. You decided to hate it, others may have not. At least, not all of them hates it. So does that mean if I like it, it means I have psychological problems? And those who don't like it are "normal"/"sane" people? Please don't say something like that again. It definitely will offend both you and the person who liked it.

She even let him video her in the bathroom, and he is one hella psycho there!
That last chapter left me bit shocked. But I shouldn't be calling it ironic at all. It is indeed a horror/gore manga. I should be expecting these from this manga. I won't say more, until this manga is completed! I just loved it <3 Though, how the girls have over-sized breasts are annoying! Probably because I don't read manga containing hetero sex.@great k

It's not great...It's full of madness...but, well...Better than most Borderline-H stuff.
[P.S. My rating here is only based on BL-H. Recently I've seen quite a lot crappy mangas of the said category. Looking at them It is quite good. At least it got a story.]

Having read the 1st 7 chapters of this manga I have to say this manga is simply designed for shock value.
Demented situations of violence, torture, sexual exploitation, betrayl and full of psychotic characters in a school setting.
If you actually like this manga you have some underling psychological issues.

As a new series, I picked it up out of curiosity. Due to its premise being an "underground" competition that has the competitors outright murdering other people and recording it all on video, I had the manga Underdog in the back of my mind. Unfortunately, I was wrong to believe that the series would be anything like Underdog, as the premise is so incredibly flimsy*.
Due to there being such a weak premise established, it only goes to show how the author barely cares about properly establishing the driving force of the manga, and only wishes to focus on the parts with lots of gore and nudity. The author practically asks some characters in his own manga what would be the best material to "generate the most viewcount."
And after a few random girls guess the wrong answers, the heroine replies with a joyful smile, "H and Violence!"
I totally understand that people are into this kind of material, involving rape, excessive gore, torture, etc. etc. Such material tends to be quite dark, bleak, and crushes any hope for the idea of "good winning out by the end." That being the case, my issue is that the author had the nerve to make the protagonist and heroine "the good guys" by having her kill "EVIL PEOPLE." As residentgrigo pretty much said, it's ridiculous to publish this kind of story as a shounen...

>Ok, so let's talk. I read this when chapter 6 came out the other day, and in all honesty, I didn't have any serious problems with the series UNTIL chapter 6 came out and held my earlier mentioned issue with this series.
>If you want to like this series, by all means, go ahead; I don't have the right to dictate what you or anyone else can/can't like. But honestly, if you say that other peoples' comments are wrong, don't provide proper reasoning as for why the series doesn't suck, and simply give it a flawless 10/10 toward the fact that you like its gore + H, don't expect me to take your recent comment (1/8/15 - 2:17AM) seriously.
*(2/10/15) Update:
Well, none of those plot holes matters anyway! What matters is to proudly show off as much nudity and gore as possible, all while eventually giving the protagonist (and certain male readers) a boner!

>The intended goal for the Directors + club-mates' death was to have our protagonist come to fully trust nobody else but the heroine of the story. With the director outright admitting that she and the others had all along planned on tricking and betraying him was already enough to prove a point. I was under the belief that Dead Tube was the source of their sudden change in personality, having their greed for all that money turn them into such inhumane beings. Of course though, that's NOT THE CASE AT ALL! The author decided to add on the fact that they had all been sadistically evil sex-addicts all along, with our protagonist + heroine opposing them as "pure" virgins!

For some reason, the author decides to explain things to our protagonist (and audience) in chapter 7 rather than chapter 2 when there was a perfect opportunity... whatever.
We're explained how Dead Tube is able to exist as the mysterious person/group behind it has enough money to substantially reward the contestants, all while bribing the cops and media to prevent the contestants from getting caught for their terrible crimes. If you fail to get enough views, the quality of your videos will be considered as "boring," and your life will be targeted! Oh no!
But wait...
A. How many fucking people are there making videos for this stupid competition?! Are there so many to choose from that some of them won't be viewed at all? Seriously, all you'd have to do is click on a video to give it a view, and even if you found the video "really boring this time around," it should still technically count as a view. Wouldn't it make a HELL OF A LOT more sense to use a simple rating system in order to seek out who's videos are amongst the "top quality?!"
B. Why is nobody wearing a mask?! Take a second to think about it: Just give your characters their own unique masks to conceal their identity, and right away you've added something somewhat iconic (think Dorohedoro) and more "mysterious" (maybe something written by TONOGAI Yoshiki) to your overall story. It's a shame the author never went with that idea from the get-go, cause now...
Even if the news and the police are being bribed to frame someone else as the killer, you still have video-recorded evidence of the exact murders taking place for anyone to go watch online, with the killer's face shown, and their full name's right next to the goddamn video! So I have to wonder: HOW THE HELL CAN THIS ENTIRE CONTEST BE KEPT A SECRET FROM THE REST OF SOCIETY?

KITAKAWA Touta Art is ok' like always, if you are looking for romance from him go for any of his hentai works! most of them are nice, YAMAGUCHI Mikoto is.. Mmm... yea always over the top in the Gory department Gun x Clover is one of his writing works I can stomach only because D.P (the one how does the art for it) hates gore' & tend to change a lot of the material.. so read the first chapter you'll found out right away if it's for you, not my case
Seishun Pop!´s "warm" internet reception lead me to open up this travesty and Akita Shoten again set out to prove that Ero-guro is Shounen magazine level material. This is hardly their first monstrosity and hentai hacks can now draw anything in a "mass market children publication" it seems. Just look at the fascinating ratings graph and decide if you want to read a series that glorifies and worst of all sexualizes high-school murder, gang rape, NTR, necrophilia (not a joke) or... If not then welcome to the club and run for your life if you see the publisher´s name in the future as none worse then Akita Shoten exists outside of hentai. Not that this isn´t porn.
Stick to actual "adult" horror manga as Berserk, Monster and Suicide Island or the even more extreme Crossed tales by Lapham, Moore or Ennis from Avatar Press.
