  凄すぎる！
  that's too amazing!
  This review contains spoilers. 同級生の好奇心から始まった殺◯の連鎖。小学校時代の同窓会に出席したら突然のルール説明、罰ゲーム。人間、善の塊のような心の美しいヒトなどいないと私は思っている。《人間の善性》を見てみたい欲望に駆られた　みきお　は実験と称し、元クラスメイトに難題を課す。人間の醜い部分を殊更に追求しているかのように思える。《悪魔とは人間の中にこそ存在する》とは良く言ったモノである。人間が持っている悪性が如実に表現されているかのような作品。ある意味、みきおが一番の被害者であり、純粋ゆえの暴挙の行動なのかも知れない。

  This review contains spoilers. A chain of killings that began with a classmate's curiosity. When I attended an elementary school reunion, I suddenly explained the rules and was a punishment game. I don't think there is a human being with a beautiful heart like a mass of good. Driven by a desire to see “Human Goodness,” Mikio calls it an experiment and imposes a difficult problem on her former classmates. It seems as if they are pursuing the ugly part of humans in particular. It is often said that “the devil only exists within humans.” This work seems to clearly express the malignancy that humans have. In a sense, Mikio is the biggest victim, and it may be an act of outrage for pure reasons.

  デスゲームと呼ぶのはもったいない
  It would be a waste to call it a death game
  セリフ回しもテンポも良く最終巻まで一気に読んでしまった複雑すぎる人間模様を多角視点から視れるので心理的なものを学ぶのにも良いかもしれないキャラの人間性に疑問が湧くかもしれないけれどそこは極限状態であることを差し引いて怒る前にワンクッション置いて読むのがよいかもしれない

  The dialogue turns and tempo are good, and you can see the overcomplicated human pattern that I read all at once until the last volume from multiple perspectives, so it may be good for learning psychological things, and questions may arise about the character's humanity, but it might be a good idea to subtract the fact that it's in an extreme state and read it with one cushion down before getting angry

  面白い！
  interesting!
  This review contains spoilers. 人が死んでしまったり、泥沼になったりなど、ダークな部分が多い作品ですが、ハマる人には面白いと思います

  This review contains spoilers. It's a work with many dark parts, such as people dying and getting into a quagmire, but I think it's interesting for people who are addicted to it
