by Muneyuki Kaneshiro, Akeji Fujimura
Deep down inside, high school student Shun Takahata craves for some excitement in his boring life…but his teacher’s head randomly exploding isn’t exactly what he had in mind. And when some of his classmates suddenly suffer the same fate, he begins to realize he’s been thrust into a series of deadly supernatural children’s games. Shun and fellow survivors are completely in the dark, not knowing who’s responsible, why it’s happening, or when it will end. To have any hope of unraveling the mystery behind the gruesome games, they’ll first have to outlast the games…and each other. (Source: Kodansha USA)

Read the full take
A teacher's head explodes, and the boring life is suddenly not boring at all. Rin is in. The opening is punchy, and the mystery of who is running these games pulls you forward fast. The death-game format keeps the stakes sharp, and the short run means there is no fat. Honest take: this is not light reading. The gore is frequent and brutal, and some readers will need to skip ahead. The game-of-the-week rhythm can start to feel repetitive, and some characters are sketched so quickly that their fates hit less hard than they should. Still, the tension is real, and it keeps you turning pages. If you like survival thrillers with a grim streak, this is a solid, hard-edged pick. Go in braced.
