Of course, some of them are never really developped, but those who are are mostly uninteresting or annoying.
This manga does have a large cast of characters if we include all the students of the class. In conclusion, after finishing reading Ousama Game, you are left with a feeling of incomprehension, as you wonder whether the author actually thought about his story before writing it. The revelations, as well as the final plot twist, make absolutely no sense, especially when taking into consideration all the things that happened previously in the story. And this is where a scenario that was already unsteady completely falls apart. However, as the story starts becoming more serious, it feels like we are only getting farther from the answers to the mystery. Who is behind it? Why is it happening? How? Considering the fact that the story is not really interesting at that point, it is probably the desire to see those questions answered that keeps us reading. Almost as soon as the manga starts, we are confronted to the mysteries of the Ousama Game. Touching people of the opposite sex, which makes it hard to take the story seriously, even though people are actually dying because of it.īut as silly as the story may seem, it still manages to catch the interest. The first orders given by the Ousama mostly revolve around kissing or Ousama Game doesn't have a particularly impressive start. It is, however, not the case, and shows perfectly how a story that starts in a mediocre way can end up being a catastrophe. Ousama Game could have been an average, but somewhat enjoyable, 'deadly game' manga among many others. Everyday, an order is issued, and if it is not obeyed within 24 hours, the student who was given said order will die. One day, the students of a high school class all recieve the same text message and suddenly get caught up in a dangerous game. Note: if we only reads the first 10 chapters, I might even give it a 8/10. It was truly a "in your face" moment for me.Īll in all, it is a superb decision for the translators to not follow up with this manga. It comes up with the most ridiculous explanation.
Readers get the bad feelings that the mangaka will never come up with a plausible conclusion for the unnatural event that are occurring.ĪND guess what, I was right. It gets to a point where I want to just quickly finish the manga and see the ending, whether good or not, for myself. Plot holes appear here and there, as well as widening in magnitude. Soon, it became apparent that the author did not plan ahead. The artwork is cutesy, the characters seem fine,īut most of all, readers are entranced by the marvelous story. Until chapter 10, everything looks great. If somebody does not do as told, he will die a gruesome death. A class of high-school students receive mysterious instructions to participate in the King's Game. This manga starts with an amazing set up. Having completed this manga, I don't blame the English translators for abandoning this manga. I had the "privilege" of reading this manga in Chinese, which had complete translations. The translation group only did 10 chapters. First of all, Ousama Game is a manga title that is not of yet completely translated in English.
