mozartbenedict 's review for:
The Decagon House Murders, Volume 1
by Yukito Ayatsuji
I wish to thank Netgalley and Kodansha comics for providing me with a digital review copy in exchange for an honest review.
It was just brilliant!! A solid 5/5 as far as the manga is considered. I have not read the source novel before, so my review will be solely based on the manga.
This volume basically sets up the situation for the main story to kick in. Some investigations are done, but the major plot points are yet to come. The chapters were designed brilliantly so that we will go the next chapter without even a fraction of a doubt.
This manga also serves as a homage to the golden age detective fiction writers by naming some of the characters after them. The ending of this volume will make you realize you cannot hold yourself onto a particular character as well. That's also where the story start to kick in, and when the long wait for volume 2 begins. I'm genuinely really looking forward to volume 2 to see where the plot will take the characters as well as how the mystery will unfold.
One other thing I would like to point out is that, I believe this one has a potential spoiler for Agatha Christie's novel - "And then there were none". So, if you have any plans to read that one, I would recommend you to skip this.
Overall, an awesome manga. Highly recommended, if you're into murder mysteries!!
