When I started reading this manga, I couldn't get through first chapter, after I did I dropped it, but I felt like I had to read at least one more. Unfortunately I couldn't find English scans and the only online version I did find was very poorly translated, so reading the second chapter was so hard that I had to drop this manga. A time has passed and I thought about the characters because they felt kinda warm to me so when I was picking a new manga, I decided to finally give it one more chance.
This manga has a really interesting premise, as I
...
have mentioned characters also feel real so that combined with great art and interesting twists, gives us a pretty solid manga.
Art (7/10)
I wouldn't say the art work is great, but it is good and it really fits the manga. I don't really have much to say, art is not something that really stands out but still it was good.
Story (8/10)
I found story really interesting, not only the main storyline but the romance one also, as it really reminded me of myself, not the main guy he gets all the girls:(. only thing that I hated was translation, I don't wanna sound mean, but usually the panels would be out of order, I would always get lost and don't get what was happening, and sometimes whole chapters were rearanged. (I don't mean official English scans)
Characters (9/10)
Characters by far are the greatest feat of this manga, they feel extremely real and reletable, one of the things that I really liked, well not really enjoyed, but I was happy that simillar thing that happened to me was in this manga. I as well as Ryu had a crush on two close friend girls, but both of them liked my weird short best friend, (it is a joke he is good looking but short af:)). The only thing that I don't really like about characters are the females.... as not right as it sounds, hear me out, they are not enjoyable, I don't really like how they act and it's not because of my personal feelings, you will get it after reading. Main guy is cool, Akira is great, Ryu was always my favorite, but the author doesn't really care about him and he is seemingly an outcast of the main group in manga so yeah, still great tho.
Enjoyment (8.5/10)
It was pretty easy to read, unfortunately as I've already mentioned, my translation sucked, so it was harder for me to understand the story, but still short and sweet chapters, filled with enjoyable characters made up for everything
Overall (8.5/10)
Don't mind the math, it is just how I feel. There were some things I didn't like, but after reading I wanted more. I know I've talked too much about the characters, but I really liked them, the story was dark and sweet and I really enjoyed every bit of it, the ending was questionable, I wouldn't say bad, but there were some things I didn't like and maybe wanted something different, but it concludes the story well. In conclusion, I would really recommend this manga and I would like to read more from this author.

When I first read it's synopsis, I was extremely hyped, 7 student's trapped in a school, they commited crimes, now have to participate in a death game, their body parts are missing and one of them is a doll made out of those body parts. Like even thinking about it now, it sounds really great, but what did we get, it was not a death game.. challenes in this manga were, go find a key, go find a doll but it's okay if you don't find it, the mystery about one of them being a secret doll was forgotten up until the last chapter which
...
was not bad, but still. I gotta say that characters had potential, like their backstories were interesting but it was definitely not a horror manga survival.
Chracters (6/10)
As I said characters were not bad, they had interesting backstories and all of them had personalities, except of course the main guy who was still enjoyable and..Kanda.. man.. I hate that dude I rarely like that kind of characters, there are some expections but most of the times they are annoying and they always get in the way, so yeah still decent.
Story (3/10)
If the story was what I thought it would be, I would score it muuuch higher, but it was not so yeah, pretty bad.
Art (8/10)
The art was good, the style itself was not special but mastery of an artist is visible and some panels are great.
Enjoyment (4/10)
At start when I had some expectations, I was reading it pretty qucik, but then after realising what the story actually is, my interest dissapeared.
Overall (4/10)
Eventhough 4 is really not a good rating, I wouldn't say that this manga is bad, I guess I just anticipated something more, there were also some details that I didn't really get like the shape game, I think it was simple but I didn't really care about it, and also what did Yuuki do.. we don't get an answer

So if Kanda was a puppet why did Yuuki have the twin's arms, is it something I didn't catch?

I did not expect this manga to be... like this, I know the Author but I haven't even read any of his manga's I only have couple in my plan to reads, so this manga was solely based on the discription that I didn't finish reading, I just saw the words horror and roller coasters so I thought maybe just main characters will be stuck there for days trying to survive or something with no way out, but it was different.
8.1: Yamada Yuusuke Gekijou is a compilation of 5 stories
First Story: (4/10)
After reading the first one, not gonna lie I was kinda disapointed it was
...
really generic and open ended, after reading you will get what I am saying, it was generic and kinda anticlimacting but still a fun read
Second Story: (3/10)
Yeah the second one was I would say bad, it was just a nothing burger, we just got straight to the story and it completely changed it's horror aspect, like from the death game it went to ghost story, and yeah it's fine ghost stories can be great, but this one was just....nothing
Third Story: (4/10)
Some might enjoy it more, but to me it was, I don't know maybe way too quick, like it had a cool concept, but it couldn't deliver.
Fourth Story: (7.5/10)
Could have been a lot higher, if it continued, I really liked this chapter, the main character was weird but interesting, there was mystery, and suspense, the main problem I have is that, at the best moment it just, ends, and when you expect that the chapter sixwill be it's continuation you get....
Final Story (4.5/10)
It was not bad, I was hoping for the ending of fourth story but whatever, the concept was interesting, but I didn't care enough for the characters to feel anything, the ending seemed cool, but we don't get any explanation on....anything so yeah, not bad, but again, nothing special.
Overall (5/10)
It was a nice read, with good potential, unfortunately most of the authors works aren't translated, but if there are some, I am looking forward to read them as well.

BEFORE THE REVIEW. if someone know, why is there only 12 chapters, clearly the last one is not the end and I couldn't find 13th chapter anywhere, if someone knows please tell me what's up.
Well, what can I say, at the beginning I was kinda enjoying it, it had an interesting premise, first chapter was long but I enjoyed it so much that I didn't really notice when it ended. I had decent hopes for the manga, but, yeah it sucked. characters are bland, horror elements are little to none. I don't know who would enjoy this manga, if you are into gore there is
...
almost nothing, if you are into horror as I said you would also not enjoy, if you are into Sci-fi I guess maybe, but I am not into it so yeah.
Characters (4/10)
They were, bad, some had potential but even that not so much, and others were just hollow. I can't say much more.
Story (5/10)
Story I would say had, a really good potential, but I think author went, completely wrong way, he could write an interesting horror, survival manga, but chose to make it sci-fi which is not bad of course, but I think author couldn't handle it.
Art (8/10)
Artwork was surprisingly well done, almost every panel was great, but it was kinda, unoriginal if you could say so, like the artstyle was really nothing unique, but still artwork was great.
Enjoyment (5/10)
At the beggining it was nice. not so much at the end, last 7-8 chapters were really boring and not interesting, and just to remind you, there are 12 chapters so yeah it is bad.
Overall (3.4/10)
Eventhough in no criterion I wrote such low score as 3, overall I really did not enjoy this manga, maybe I could write four instead of three, but the point is that this manga is really weak, decent potential, but still nothing much.

I love death games, despite that I would have to say that, I think nearly every single one is the same, I can even predict who is going to survive at the end and in which order the last survivors wil die. SPOILERS FOR...EVERY DEATH GAME I GUESS, everything in brackets are spoilers.
(the last survivors literally in every manga or show are smart and serious guy, the cute girl who is maybe in love with the main guy and of course the main guy himself, first one of them to die is of course the smart guy that I love in every manga but still,
...
then the same thing happens, either the girl turns out to be the organisator or anything, or when main guy doesn't know what to do, the girl tries to kill him, main guy fumbles but survives, there are exceptions but still, tons of death game stories are the same, and I love them.)
So about the manga, it was a good read, I read it in one night, started at 4AM finished at 5-6AM so yeah I really enjoyed it. artstyle in manga is nothing unique, but art itself is great, gore elements were drawn on a really high level, so like maybe all of us are, if you are reading it for gore, you can check it out, so yeah solid.
Story (5.5/10)
Yeah, what did you expect, it is a gore death game manga with six chapters, but even considering that, there is an interesting flashback, well not really a great flashback, but it was kinda complicated to say who is wrong and right so bonus 0.5 points on that
Characters (5/10)
I love good characters, but I kinda think that survival mangas have something you can call an advantage, but it is really difficult to fully use that advantage, characters are already in a death or life situation, if conveing their emotions correctly, reader may feel like characters, are already well developed. This manga I wouldn't say conveied their emotions poorly, but it really didn't have that thing that would make any character stand out, but characters were not boring, so that's a plus
Art (8.5/10)
Really solid art, gore elements as I said were great, but the only thing I will pick on is, that really many mangas have simillar or even the same artsyle, that's not really that much of a downside but still art was great.
Enjoyment (9/10)
It was really easy to read, I haven't felt the feeling of, yeah maybe tomorrow, I really enjoyed.
Overall (6/10)
Yeah arithmetics don't match, at the beginning I wanted to read a manga called Penalty School, but I couldn't remember the name, Ithought the name was pentaly school, so I stumbled upon this manga, I enjoyedd it, if you are into gore I would recommend, if not, then I guess not, why are you even here what did you expect. Solid 6 or maybe bit lower, still not bad.

I have a large list of manga's that I plan to read. While I search for the right one, I usually spend a lot of time picking a manga, but this time I just randomly picked it and immediately started reading. I didn't have any expectations so it is hard to say how I feel about it. it has really solid moments, some feelings of characters are really well writen, and some aspects of the manga can actually compare to the high class manga, but still I wouldn't say that it is strong. Characters I would say are really bland even though their emotions at
...
moments are conveyed really well. It has interesting consept that had a good potential but I don't think it went the right way. This manga is short but was not an easy read, at some moments it was, but at others it was really boring. what I would say is, that the art is sometimes really great but sometimes even art was a bit empty I guess?
Story (6/10)
Story had a potential as I've said, it had good aspects, but it was sometimes so boring that you would get lost, and completely don't understan who is on which side and what is happening, (not all the times) there was one moment that I didn't understand it was chapter 20.5 the additional chapter I guess, where somehow that one guy is surrounded and on the next chapters it is forgotten, and you would think that maybe it was a foreshadowing, but that moment was never brought up, so yeah,
Art (8/10)
It was very well drawn at points, but at others it was kinda unsophisticated, the artstyle wasn't really unique but still really great job on that.
Characters (5/10)
Well yeah. characters were not great, some of them had potential, but they were still pretty bland, main character was not bad, but still nothing out of ordinary.
Enjoyment (6/10)
I know I am repeating myself, and again there were some strong moments, that caught your interest, but most of them were pretty boring, especially the second part. I would say I didn't enjoy the manga, but it was not an easy read.
Overall (5.4/10)
Yeah Overall score arithmetic is not even close to 5.4 I know, but I am not judgin manga only on those four aspects, only during a review I focus on the main details. Overall uhh.... I guess if you are into idk black mirror? you kinda might enjoy it, it has a really interesting concept but nothing special.

I don't remember the exact year, I was about eight or nine when my cousin told me about anime, back then I didn't know what it was I didn't really watch series either the only thing I knew were cartoons, so when he told me about it I was really interested but couldn't watch it at the time because I was in the village for summer, after returning back home I was super excited, I couldn't wait to start watching those weird cartoons he told me about, so I decided to start with the one he didn't talk much about I wanted to leave good
...
for last so the first anime I ever watched was ''Attack On Titan''. After watching the first episode I was amazed, it was my first time expiriencing actual story and the first time I cried watching something, I was invested I don't really remember how fast but I finished it pretty quick and immediately told my brother to watch it, he did but unfortunately didn't continue at the moment, after I told about it to my parents and my mom actually watched it with me, and she liked it too, after I found out about ovas but I couldn't find them so I gave up. I remember that when I was 9 I had a fight in school and I in mid fight I remembered Eren and felt and saw muscles in my right had, I know it sounds not only dumb but edgy but, it is a real story. Years passed and even after second season's realease me and my mom didn't finish it, but then we did and that was the switch, Attack On Titan became something different not only for my not experienced mind but something that had the potential to be the greatest. After watching the third season I couldn't believe how something can be written that way, I was writing my own story but after remembering about Attack On Titan I felt small but it gave me even more motivation to be the greatest. Attack On Titan always was an inspiration for me not only the story but every character was I don't know how to put it in words, when I was a kid I tried acting like Levi, I looked pretty dumb but at the time I felt really unique, also I loved Eren, I was always stubborn about everything, I always said what I felt and never let anyone who dissagreed with me get aways with their opinion, what was the reason why some people disliked me but Eren really was an example for me he was not the smartest nor the strongest but he never gave up. Fourth season first half turned everything around, I can't put it in words that experience isn't something just a TV-Show can give you but, Attack On Titan did. that was the time when my brother cought up so there were three of us watching it and it was great. About a month later my dad also finished watching so from the second part of fourth season there was my entire family watching and waiting for new episodes. Maybe some of you know that feeling when you are watching something with your family it feels kinda different I am really happy that I got that experience with AOT and not only, second part I expected to be the last but it was not, about a year or maybe more later on my birthday we watched first movie of the third part of the fourth season of Attack On Titan yeah is sounds kinda weird but still yet there was nothing that I didn't find amazing in the entire show, I didn't mention it but after third or fourth season's first half it became my favorite anime. I am really simbolic I don't know if I used the right word, I list everything that ever happens to me and I really look into weird stuff, my first anime was AOT, I wanted my 100th anime to be connected to Attack On Titan so two weeks later I rewatched it entirely at the moment I had 96 animes finished so after rewatching first season I watched an ova, ''Lost Girls'' Chibi Attack On Titan that I tried to watch when I was 9 but couldn't find more than one episode on youtube an last 100th anime was ''No Regrets'' the titled talks for itself even though it was an ova, I wanted that great number of 100th anime to belong to Attack On Titan then I rewatched entirety of it and that brings us to the current date. 05/11/2023 The day when I finished something that became a part of me. I had to say we, I was once again watching it with my family and even though I'm writing a review I won't be talking about plotholes and art I will be talking about the impact. I can't really express the feeling, something that was with me for years just finished I wouldn't care if the ending was bad, I can't say what was the ending for me, I fell empty, I loved waiting for it, I loved the fact that fourth season was split in four parts, I would like it even if it was in hundred parts, I just don't want it to end, I want to know more, every question was answered there is nothing more to explore, but I want it just to be with me, I just love it not like the show or an anime but something I can't explain. Thank you Hajime Isayama for creating the greatest fiction the world has ever seen atleast for me and many others. You have maybe guessed it is not a review Iif you read it expecting that I would start talking about the show I'm sorry but I just wanted to write down my feelings, after finishing something I love, something that had an impact on me, something that supported me, something that made me feel emotions I never felt, something I would just think about, something I would discuss, something that helped to form me in who I am today. THANK YOU HAJIME ISAYAMA, THANK YOU ATTACK ON TITAN.

well.... I don't know it felt kinda forgetable it really had solid potential if the author was someone like Fukumoto (author of Kaiji and many others) or even Katani Shinobu (Liar Game, One Outs and others) it would have been great but unfortunately it was not but it had decent gore elements if you are into that that is something that I would enjoy in liar game if it showed us elements of extreme, in this manga we didn't get any good mind game and what we got was pretty meh, like one girl said that if there are two wolves and 2 villagers left
...
all of them would win when in reality it only meant villagers loss and somehow everyone agreed to that (it is not a spoiler don't worry, you will get it when you read) about pros I would say that it was an easy read I finished both parts in a day and I'm looking forward on reading the third one even though it is nothing special but if you are into this kind of stuff I guess you can check it out like I like that kind of mangas so I didn't feel like I wasted my time I enjoyed it but it was not something to remember and to talk to friends about
Story 5.5/10
Simple story but I like the game mafia and among us so mixing it with a gore manga is pretty interesting.
Art 7.5/10
It kinda reminds me of 2010 animes which art I like but I don't really like it in manga.... I don't know why I think it is for anime only, gore elements are greath tho, not for me that's the reason I give it 7.5 but it is not bad
Characters 4/10
I really like great characters that's one of the main things to enjoy about fiction but characters in this manga were just meh, main girl is kinda annoying and the second main girl isn't better you can tell that she's bad only based on hair, if you read enough manga you can say if someone has hair like that they're not ....good, I liked the third guy he reminded me of Yoshida from CSM but then author gave us questionable elements about him, but football player from first game was good so that's one I guess
Enjoyment 7/10
It was an easy read but some moments were boring I stopped mid reading to scroll youtube or something.
Overall 5.7/10
Ignore the math that's just what score I gave it I won't talk about horror aspect because there has never been a horror manga that made me scared like....ever if you know something like really scary please recommend thanks for reading:) that's pretty much it.

This manga is just really different, at the first view it may seem like a manga about... I won't say what because it is still a slight spoiler but as you dig deeper into the manga you find your self just more and more confused, it is about a constant struggle of main characters the more you read more you realise that it was not what you were thinking before and after reading few more chapters you realise that 20 minutes ago you were even more wrong, you start building you theories because you are genuinely interesedted, manga makes you ask questions because you never
...
know what to expect.
FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO READ THIS BECAUSE OF THE ENDING: it was great. I really think that the ending of Dragon Head was one of the best endings I've ever read, when I found about this manga I was searching to buy it for months and after about half a year I got it and then I found out that everyone hated the ending, what was kinda sad hearing after spending so much time on it but after reading it I really felt something it reminded me of fight club and it was not really open I don't know why people say that every question that we had was answered so...I don't really know what's the deal with that
Story 9/10
It was great, it never stopped intriguing it always had a twist ready, and it kinda felt unique even though it is not something really special I don't know how to put it you will understand after reading.
Art 9/10
Panels from this manga look like just real photos. Character designs you may not enjoy but the main two look great their emotions are portrayed great and also.... just a quick story I was reading it in the forest and some random old guy sat next to me and asked what am I reading I showed it to him and after skipping through some pages of course he stumbled upon a page where Ako was naked:( I explained to him but I guess he thought I was reading somethinig....different
Characters 9/10
I know that is three nines in a row but, hear me out, two main characters are great, I know it may sound weird but, there are rarely good female characters in anime and manga, I don't mean anything bad but I have watched nearly hundred different animes and I can't really name well written females maybe a few: Eva from Monster,Ichinose from back when you called us devils (noone has read it I know) mmm... Kim Wexler from better call saul.... I know it isn't an anime but still maybe I haven't watched or read something with good female characters but Ako still was great and main guy Aoki was also:)
Enjoyment 9.5/10
Sorry about not being a nine but it was really easy to read, you were always intrigued, you genuinely wanted to know how the story would expand and it wasn't something you wanted to finish reading.
Overall 9.2/10
I don't know if math adds up to this number but that is how I rated it, definitely reccomend it is kinda known in horror manga media but still an unknown manga so that's unoftunate, don't stop yourself because of the ending I can't guarantee that you will enjoy it as much as me because there are a lot of people who hate it but still from start to finish it was great so yeah that's it:) thanks for reading:)

Back When You Called Us Devils, when I first read it's name a had a feeling that it would be something differerent I already imagined what kind of story it would be but I was completely wrong even though as I said I had high expectations I still didn't know that I was getting myself into one of the best written, heart breaking, complex stories ever.
Back When You Called Us Devils is a story about acceptance, forgiveness, guilt of the sins that someone has comitted and a story about true nature of people, Yusuke Saito (main character of the story) is not a good person,
...
he has done some of the most awful things a human can do he has murdered, raped, tortured and black mailed people (Now it will contain slight spoilers so if you haven't read back when you called us devils you better read from my next paragraph) but the only reason he lost his memories was because of guilt, he spent 6 months with the girl he raped but they still had some feelings to one another other than hate and after that he realised that he was really a devil. after regaining his memories he couldn't just kill himself he had to repent his sins but as it is said in story ''God never had any intention at all of forgiving me.... ever.'' his whole life was full of misfortune and the only people he truly trusted grew to hate him.
I know that in reviews people like to score art characters and smth so imma do it too
Art Style (9/10)
definitely not for everyone but I really enjoyed it
Characters (10/10)
There are not that many well written characters but those that are... are one of the best characters ever and I think that Yusuke himself is if not the best but definitely top 2-3 MCs not only in manga but all media
Story (9.5/10)
The only reason why it is not a ten is that many people may dislike the last volume and genre of the second part but I really enjoyed both when I think of this manga I always remember last volume and the second part is really something special (I'm not talking about the first because everyone who knows it knows how good it is)
Enjoyment (9.5/10)
It was really easy to read I read about 30 chapters a day and as I said the reason it isn't a ten is because of people who may not enjoy what I said in the last criterion but if I wasn't writing a review for people I would definitely rate both 10
Overall (9.7/10)
I don't know if arithmetic average is 9.7 it is just the score that I gave it in my own list. It is definitely a must read for everyone who enjoys..? I don't know just for everyone it is just a hidden gem and I'm really happy that I somehow found it on MAL.
