katyamuffin's review against another edition
2.0
This manga started off really intriguing and with such an interesting concept. But it's getting really tiresome and gratuitous. Mostly the gratuitous part.
I'm so tired of unnecessary nudes and panty shots. I'm not against titties, trust me. Far from it, but I have my limits. When action scenes are happening that are supposed to be tense and emotional and the artist feels the need for me to see a girl cowering on the ground or running away from death with her skirts hiked up and her camel toe right in the center of the shot (or sometimes just straight up naked) I'm gonna call it gratuitous.
Also, every time a character cracks under pressure they immediately start acting like an outlast character (or any other horror game that takes place in an insane asylum. Take your pick). That's not how people work, and even if I suspend my disbelief and forget that people have different reactions to things, it still gets really repetitive and boring. I'm sick of seeing people shambling around with drool and snot pouring out of their faces. What an absolute lack of creativity.
At this point the only reason I'm reading is because it's almost over, and I wanna know what happens to the 3 main characters.

la verdad que no me gusta lo exagerado que dibujan las muertes de los personajes, me parece una tremenda basura, me quita las ganas de leer

This volume was really reflective and introspective, so it felt like there wasn't a lot of new stuff that really happened-- just a lot of discovery and thinking. Not a bad thing, just made it feel like this one wasn't super eventful. Definitely a case of the MC mentally preparing themselves for the final battle to come.
Spoiler text is here for me to remember how the story is split up between volumes:

Shuuya runs into the main part of the lighthouse to discover that the girls are all dead... except Yuko, who runs from him. He chases her to the top of the lighthouse, and saves her from falling, only for her to jump to her death moments later. We also get some backstory on her and her family. Shuuya then sets off and soon runs into Mizuho. She tries to shoot him but he escapes. Shuuya thinks about all of the deaths that have gotten him to this point, before discovering the area where Mim and other friends died. Shuuya mourns his lost friend and discovers their plan to try and bomb the school. After words of encouragement from the Mim in his head, Shuuya sets off again and meets back up with Noriko and Kawada. Meanwhile, Mizuho is killed by Kiriyama.amandapearl2's review against another edition

Really liked Yuko and the light house girls. They may be my favorite scene of the entire series.

If not for the last chapter there, this would've been another 3.5 rounded down to 3. But with the entirely gratuitous scene of a young woman in the rain in her underwear hallucinating that she's a chosen Madonna or something... no. The best I can muster is 2.
