Well, along with "Ringu Kanzenban", I really feel like this is one of the worth adaptations for someone to approach the "Ring" story.
The art itself is pretty decent, it works for a horror/investigation manga, at least on my opinion. The bits of the story mixes the book with some ideas of the Hideo Nakata's first movie. I think is for the best, in the end the story is consistent with the book, some uniteresting bits are replaced with the movie's content, specially Ryuji's character, his personality being from the books, but his story being based on the movie, and in the end I think the ... overall product is really enjoyable.
Still, I think the art lack details when it comes to more crucial moments.
I recommend this over the book and the Hideo Nakata's movie,
both from the controversys of the book, such as Ryuji whole deal
and from the "Ringu", for being a really bad movie and overall a bad adaptation.

NOT SPOILER FREE
Even though this is an old manga and I should be carefull what I say what I am going to say is gonna be a bit hard to take it was fair at best although i think this was a good think to bring the boyfriend who the main lead had the kid with because his research proved useful.For deciphering the old language i think it could've been a little more drawn out. For instance when the person at the funeral was in shock there could've been a little more development there. It says that this manga was based of of the ... actually japanese book the ring BEFORE the movie came out and it got all famous. Though it wasn't all that great I got the main story line was very good. But if your looking for something based on the Movie this is not it.
