Ousama Game review

I stumbled upon this manga through the Youtuber "The Anime Man", and I kind of regret reading it.

Story 5/10

The story starts off being kind of childish, with silly orders, although the orders quickly become difficult to follow. While the story does become interesting at some points, sometimes there are lulls, in which the same information is repeated over and over again, which can get really annoying. The pacing is just awful, since the manga starts off at an extremely slow pace, but in the latter chapters, a lot is happening at once, almost too much for a reader to really follow. I also found the ending to be absolutely awful, so if you're looking for a manga with a satisfactory ending, this is not the manga for you.

Art 6/10

The art is pretty decent most of the time, although the amount of terribly shocked/crying faces really annoyed me. Throughout the series you will see an incredibly large amount of ugly crying faces, although the faces are not as extreme in the end as they were in the beginning, where you would see one of those faces with an extreme expression almost every page.

Characters 5/10

Most of the characters (the ones that are actually worked out) are incredibly flat. They have only one motivation, and all their actions revolve around that. They don't gain any new motivations, their responses to a situation never change, and overall, there is zero character development. There is only character who was remotely interesting and mysterious, and she doesn't really appear until halfway through the series, so for the rest of the time, you have characters who have extremely black and white, but predictible reactions, and I don't like to read about characters like that.

Enjoyment 6/10

While the story managed to keep me interested at certain points (mostly towards the end, but then the ending left me feeling extremely unsatisfied), at others I had to force myself to finish the manga, and so, for the limited entertainment it gave me, I will give it a 6/10.

Overall 5/10

The story is badly paced, but with an interesting concept, the art is average to bad, the characters are, apart from one, incredibly flat, and I didn't have a lot of fun reading the manga. This all results in me giving this manga a 5/10
