Books like Tohyo Game, Vol. 1: One Black Ballot to You

Well this should have been way more fun than it was. A whole class is put into a popularity contest to see who the best girl (and guy) is! When the votes begin to happen then...death arises! Kids being killed off Final Destination style. One by one the votes flood in and kids keep dying, no one can stop it, and the main character(s) do try! However...as fun as this sounds...it isn't all that. WHY!? I will tell you! What I liked: The art is pretty good. Not mindblowing but easy to tell characters apart. I also like the idea of this. It's a idea I had in mind similar with cell phone type game but this didn't push it far enough. Anyway the idea that something or someone is tracking them down and trying to murder you is very very cool but it's all about the style in which way to do it. What I didn't like: The deaths are unoriginal. The fan service is a bit annoying. Like yeah, I love boobs. Boobs are life. But why show a girl walking around naked at home when it adds NOTHING to the plot. Like if she was to be killed that way, or shown something terrible, or attacked sure! But she just sitting washing her boobies and I'm like "Why?" Also the pacing is slow despite people dying you don't get attached. That's thanks to the mehish horror writing that you'd hope to expect more of now days with a lot of horror movies trying to get back to the roots. Meaning giving us a reason to care about characters. Lacking big time here. Overall this was a disappointing title. I expected way more and was so let down. I know Japan can do better. Future Diary was perfect example of pushing the genre of horror and giving us an engaging story. This was anything but that. A big let down. A 1.5-2/5.
