Werewolf Game 01

人狼ゲーム [Jinroh Game] #1

by Ryo Kawakami, Koudo, Burkhard Höfler (Translator)

Airi Nishina, eine Schülerin der zweiten Klasse der Highschool, wird eines Abends betäubt und entführt. Als sie wieder zu sich kommt, befindet sie sich zusammen mit anderen Schülern ihrer Schule in einem rätselhaften, verschlossenen Raum. Sie erfahren dort, dass man sie zu einem Spiel zwingt: Im "Werewolf Game" wird zwischen "Werwölfen" und "Bürgern" unterschieden, die sich gegenseitig töten sollen. Es ist ein Todesspiel voller Furcht und Grauen, bei dem selbst ein Regelverstoß gnadenlos mit dem Tod bestraft wird! Jeder Teilnehmer wird vor die Wahl gestellt, einen Mitschüler hinzurichten oder lieber selbst zu sterben!

I rated it 3.5 stars. The whole concept of the manga was unique but it didnt keep me gripped

[Hanya · Rating 2 out of 5]

This wasn't a bad manga, I just didn't really connect with it. It had an interesting concept but I didn't really care much for anything that was happening. I am not sure if I'll continue or not but I don't think I will. The art style was really nice though.

what even was that translation

[Stef A. · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like the idea, it's well paced, it portrays fear and panic pretty well, i think. Not really sold on the "everyone's from the same school" bit and the connections that appear between the characters seem a bit forced (like how the first victim of the werewolves was the cause of the bankruptcy of the bookshop where the main character used to work), but will see how they play this in the next volume.

Sigo pensando que es una decisión tonta enamorarse en esas circunstancias, pero quien soy yo para decirle a la prota lo que debería de hacer. Releyendo mi comentario viejo puedo ver que tengo buen ojo de loca.

Capítulo 1 al 6.

Es un juego de supervivencia, el protagonista es una chica (cosa que no suele suceder en el genero).

Es en si una caza de brujas (lobos), entre los aldeanos se encuentran dos lobos y cada noche mataran a un aldeano, para sobrevivir los aldeanos tienen que matar a los lobos mediante una votación diaria.

Unos chicos de la misma escuela son secuestrados y reunidos para jugar. Por medio de altavoces dicen las reglas y un detalle que quiero remarcar es que la persona que es "votada" como lobo debe ser asesinado por los que son presuntamente aldeanos.

En este tomo conocemos poco de la protagonista Airi; solo conocía a una persona de las que estaban ahí, trabajaba en una librería que tuvo que cerrar y se empieza a enamorar de un chico que participa en el juego. Punto aparte para hablar del chico; quizá soy desconfiada pero parece demasiado perfecto para ser real, sospecho sea un lobo veterano.

Wow...this is actually chilling. An innocent, fun and exciting game would turn into something horrific. You don't know who'll be next to breath for the last time. You need to make a strategy to keep being unknown by everyone or else, you've dug your own grave. Amazing way to change an innocent thing into something gruesome

Vol 2 here i come

[Dominique · Rating 4 out of 5]

Holy shit! That’s all I got to say. I need some time before the next one. wow

[SamDojtez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Une version un peu différente du jeu que l'on connait mais qui rend le jeu beaucoup plus passionnant. Attention âmes sensibles s'abstenir par contre car plusieurs scènes sont assez choquantes. En dehors de ça, l'histoire est très intéressante et on a vraiment envie de connaître le rôle de chaque personnage. Donc à tout ceux qui aiment les enquêtes sanglantes, ne vous retenez plus vous allez vous amuser.

3.5 ⭐️

[AsianMerr · Rating 2 out of 5]

I remember reading most of this years ago so I wanted to chip away at my MAL stuff I put a hold on. Yeah the premise is just mafia so cool but besides that I know it’s a short series so I’m gonna have a hard time gelling with the characters. The gore is probably the selling point cause they don’t hid anything. 3 people are dead already but I didn’t even know who the third was cause it just happens and I don’t know the entire cast so I was like “who”, probably gonna knock this one out this week. Tada is definitely one of the werewolves I can already feel it.

[Vittorio Viegas · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really enjoyable manga. It has a simple concept but has good execution, good art and a griping story.
If you have an interest in mystery and suspense I really recommend this. It's really an easy read and fun from beginning to end.

I've read all three volumes and I'm putting it all together in the same score.

E nisa sepse ngjaj me 3 manga qe kam lexuar me perpara: "Doubt", "Judge" dhe "Secret" nga Tonogai Yoshiki, dhe i rekomandoj shume.
Po deri tani duket si nje kopje e keqe e ktyre. Fillimi eshte kot, nis me histori leshi koti. Personazhet basic deri tani. Persa i perket art style-it, vetem pjesa e gore duket spr, pjesa tjeter eshte basic.

A fun start to a genre of manga I love, which is the death game. We have some pretty interesting characters starting out and we begin the game with a pretty interesting death that haunts others quickly.

[Chow Cheuk Hang CheukKy · Rating 4 out of 5]

A horror game.
I found this game very tension.
I recommend this book to secondary to watch.

[Anthony · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty neat but it’s crazy you can just take this pre established game and make a story out of it

[Brenda Galvão · Rating 5 out of 5]

*4,5

[A. Piña · Rating 2 out of 5]

i would just kill myself

[Alec de Cristofaro · Rating 5 out of 5]

On of the best horror manga (death game / werewolf game) I've ever read. 10/10. Sequels also 10/10.

[Christopher Keller · Rating 2 out of 5]

Art is cool. Story is interesting.

[sun dried library · Rating 5 out of 5]

Might be biased but this is the manga that got me hooked on the genre so this will forever be a 5-star for me...
