Dorei Yuugi review

Dorei Yuugi was a pretty interesting manga to read about individuals being captured, their rankings being marked as letters A-E based on their catch rate and strengths, and of the course being used as slaves to kill other slaves ordered by their "masters".

*Spoilers Ahead*

The story was pretty interesting about a young man named Kai, who comes across an online mobile game titled "Go Slave". At first thinking that it was just a game, he spots a male teacher and uses tools from the mobile game to capture him. Seeing that nothing seemed to happen to the teacher, Kai tries to capture a female classmate of his, but decides that it is wrong and ends up running away.

Later that same day, Kai is greeted by a strange man and follows him to a strange building. Entering the room, Kai witnesses the male teacher that he captured, gets killed in front of his very eyes. Moving forward, Kai is forced to play the game by using his own slaves in order to save a female classmate of his. By doing this, Kai promises his slaves that he will free them from this game and himself without killing anymore people.

In the final act of the story, Kai uses his slaves to compete against the current champions slaves in hopes of finally being able to put an end to this game. Both teams have to fight against their opponents while also trying to keep their platform from sinking into the lava as boxes begin to fall onto each of their teams platforms. With the battle becoming more intense by the minute, Kai manages to defeat all five of the champion's slaves one by one. However, Kai's team is struggling to stay alive as his own platform begins to sink into the lava. In an attempt to save his team, Kai's slaves manage to make it out alive.

Unfortunately for Kai, he ends up losing the game and later becomes a slave. Kai screams with frustration as he is no longer able to return to the surface.

I thought that the ending was pretty disappointing and kind of made me feel mad b/c Kai's team ended up staying alive during the final round, but somehow lost their own platform by which means they lose. I honestly wouldn't consider having the platform to still be standing be a rule of the game. As a reader I began to develop a sense of hope for Kai's survival of winning the game. But, I guess the author didn't want me and the other readers of the manga to just simply accept the fact that the main character is supposed to win but instead lose.

Overall, It's an alright manga to read though the cover of the manga speaks for itself about the ending.

Pokemon Go meets Kangoku Jikken...what a novel concept.

The story of Dorie Yuugi is about a typical High School Protagonist dragged into a world of debauchery after downloading a game that allows him to turn people into slaves on a whim. And in doing so is introduced to a massive underground society that thrives on elite wealthy types participating in human slavery. Mysteries of how this world operates, Characters slave and master alike with their own goals in this messed up place. How will he fare?

Story:
Synopsis aside the story itself isn't anything to write home about. If you're familiar with these kinds of stories then you're not in for any surprises. It's very straightforward with little in the way of interesting plot threads. And aside from some charming characters it's pretty par for the course. Of course there's plenty(and I mean PLENTY) of gore, violence, humiliation, and grotesque imagery if you're into that sort of thing.

It does like to play a bit fast and loose with physics. This is supposed to be taking place in a world analogous to real life yet there are times you'll see a man capable of ripping someone head off or punching a hole in a person with their bare hands. It;s not too distracting but it gets a bit silly at times.
I've read this story to completion and, without spoiling anything, I will just say that I was not too satisfied with it. Apparently there is a sequel but I've honestly no interest in seeing it. It's a sort of character arcs type of story which might tell you WHY the ending ended up disappointing me.

Also a lot of mechanics, and plot threads are just kind of unresolved. The app that introduces this very story is soon dropped entirely as just a menu to convey information. A character that has some form of importance to the society is quickly put in the background. Our MC here is apparently of some major significance to the society that is frankly never explained. I wont hold my breath to see if it's tackled in the sequel. Also the ending feels weirdly rushed.

Characters:
The characters in this story are either A. Hyperviolent battle freaks B. Deranged sociopaths or C. Helpless normies. There are some likable moments with certain characters. But they are such terrible people that I find myself unable to really root for anyone. Most of the characters are very VERY one note. I DESPISE stories where every other person is a MONSTER. A slime dressed as a wolf in sheep's clothing. And design-wise it suffers slightly from the "Flashy Protagonists, Bland Extras" trope. They aren't terrible but they arent interesting.

Art:
Okay! So artwise this show has some pretty interesting scenes. The composition is fascinating at times and the artist here has a knack for drawing very...expressive faces. But again, this is reserved for important characters/moments. It's well done though. Visually it's appealing if you aren't put off by gore.

All in all, I found myself reading this chiefly to pass the time and frankly it was just kind of run of the mill. And the ending to me was a disappointing one. I'm trying not to hold that against the author as there WERE moments and characters I enjoyed as well as some ggood art here and there. But when I think of the wasted plot threads, over reliance on shock value, ridiculously flat characters, and bland story I just find myself glad to be done with it. Your mileage may vary.
