Doubt - 5-9 Review/summary

Summary:

So I wrote a longer review and summary but it all got deleted and... I'm going to summarize my summary.

They are back to square one after the killing the guy that they thought was the murderer. Yuu beings tearing off the clothes from the man that died and uses his barcode to open a door and leads to the outside, kind of. The windows have bars on them. In the room there are some files and Haruka looks at them. She seems surprised by something she finds and instantly leaves the room. She goes to the bathroom where Mitsuki is and stabs her with a scalpel and locks her inside. Yuu hears her scream and goes to the bathroom and outside is Haruka standing.

She hands him the files for her to read and he is also surprised. Mitsuki who said that she wasn't playing the game apparently had a file on her. Haruka says that Yuu and Mitsuki are both wolves and are working together. She then ask about his barcode which of course he doesn't have. Yuu admits he's lied about having a barcode and they tie him up in the survalance room whilst they look for clues. They both leave the room, Hajime and Haruka that is, to continue searching. Yuu can see everyone on the cameras except Hajime. Soon he sees the murderer killing Eiji. He gets out of the room and goes looking for Eiji, along the way he runs into Hajime who unties him. There is a phone in the room and it's too dangerous for Hajime to do it so he has Yuu does it. Yuu brings back the phone with a little present attached, Eiji's cut off hand.

Yuu attacks Hajime and ties him up saying he couldn't see him when Eiji was attacked. He finds Mitsuki and patches her up a bit. They go back to the room lookin for clues and come upon a book that has a page missing, which Hajime took. Hajime said he was going to show them the page but Yuu attacked him before he had the chance. The page is a news paper article about a boxing gang, which Eiji was the leader of. A big fight broke out with many injured and one dead. The one dead person was found by "Shoujo-H" Which Hajime deduced to be Haruka. He says that Haruka killed Eiji because he inadvertently killed her lover. Yuu says he will trust his friends and they go off to try and find Haruka. They get to the last door, which is locked and yell outside of it for Haruka. Mitsuki gets a call on the phone and it's apparently Haruka who says "for the one I love" then hangs up. The door unlocks and when they go inside it's filled with bunny heads, nooses, and the axe that killed Eiji. At the end of the last room is another door, this one with wooden barricades, which are all open.

Thoughts:

Liked theses chapters, Haruka was annoying. Haven't liked her much since I started reading. If Hajime really isn't the killer he should try to be a little more human. If Haruka really is the killer, she's crazy. Shooting the guy you hate in an alley is way less conspicuous than building a game, locking people in a building, and killing them all off one by one.

Doubt - Chapters 3-4

Summary

Early on in the chapter Eiji accuses Hajime of being the killer. His reasoning was that he doesn't like people who can see right through them. Interesting. Hajime insinuates that Eiji is the one that people should suspect being that  Yuu went missing when he went went to see where Eiji went off to. Eiji goes crazy and Mitsuki slaps him. Eiji prepares to punch Mitsuki in the face (woman beater!!), but Yuu sticks his face in the way.  The panel with Eiji's fist in Yuu's face is pretty funny. So he gets punched in the face and bleeds, then bleeds some more and passes out. Then we see that very Sawish panel of the bunny looking at screens.

When Yuu wakes back up he is in a different area. He was moved as everyone else began to explore. Eiji was locked away in a room after he didn't follow instructions and went off on his own and opened a door to a bathroom.  There is a little spat between the group over whether or not they overreacted to locking up Eiji. Yuu agrees but I do not believe he would have if he had a barcode like everyone else.

Yuu says that he has to go to the bathroom and when he does he begins to search his body for a barcode, which of course could not be found, because he doesn't have one.

They go off and find a room which Hajime opens. The room looks like a creepy abandoned hospital room. They continue through and find the man in the rabbit head! End of chapter 3.

So the chapter 4 starts off with where 3 left off, behind the man in the rabbit head! Yuu sneaks up behind the man and pokes him with a stick. He falls out of his chair and is unconscious. Mister Rabbit Head was shot up with lots of morphine. Yuu wonders what type of person he was and takes off his rabbit head. The man has a few scares on his face. Yuu begins to get paranoid when it is mentioned there is a door they would open with his barcode, which we all know doesn't exist.

The rabbit head man, who's now without his head wakes up and goes nuts and attacks Yuu. Yuu kicks him and he spits up some blood. Hajime discovers a thumbtack inside of the mask which he suspects had a fast attacking posion in the case the mask was taken off. Yuu begins to feel guilty saying he's killed the man but Hajime assures him it would have happened anyway being that one of them would have taken off the mask.

In the end the game hasn't ended, dun dun dun.

Thoughts:

Great chapters, good volume. I enjoyed it. Eiji is a bit annoying. He's just... stupid and reacts based on emotions too much. It wouldn't be so bad if his emotions weren't so out of whack. I prefer Hajime, he's probably one of my favorite characters. He's logically and calculated, reminds me of myself.

Later this week, or next week volume 2 will be reviewed.

Doubt - Chapter 2 - Game Start

Summary:

It starts with Rei's dead body staked to the wall, just how it ended in chapter 1. The boy with the glasses they figure out is Hajime. He was suppose to show up to the meeting in chapter 1 but the location was changed and he missed them, so he said. Haruka comes into the room and meets the group. She was behind a locked door in the dark, thanks to her fumbling around she managed to somehow scan her barcode, which was placed there by whoever took them, and opened the door. They all find their barcodes and figure out they're used to open doors. Yuu asked about everyones memories but no one remembers anything.

Yuu and Hajime decide to go explore a bit and run into a dark room with some stairs. As they go down they run into a very creepy looking Eiji who was holding a flashlight. Eiji was already down there and just happened to find the flashlight at the same time Yuu was looking for one. They attacked Eiji and ran out of the room. Once they were back in the room Eiji showed up. Who also didn't remember anything.

A text message comes in on Rei's phone and Yuu goes to get it, Eiji snatches the phone away from him saying he wants to make a call, but there is no signal. He opens the text message which says "game start". They argue for a moment with Hajime about whether this is really rabbit doubt or not and then the chapter ends with a very Sawish picture.

Thoughts:

I liked this chapter. I thought there would be more action but it wasn't bad. I enjoyed it and looking forward to reading the rest of it.
