The remaining characters do what they can to convince the others of what role they have but in general it does boil down to "I'm not the werewolf, they're the werewolf!". She is hesitant to partake in the game and in the first vote nearly dies to the gamemaster for not voting. Our main character, Airi Nishina, isn't the smartest but she has the strongest morals in a way. But that wouldn't make for a very interesting horror manga will it? I'm no psychologist but I doubt the composure of those in the game would remain constant. It is clear that they will be killed by either the gamemaster, a werewolf or each other and so their survival instincts kick in. Everyone maintains the attitude that 'this is wrong', but not for long. The initial reaction from everyone is shock and disgust, but leading to eventual grounding in reality of their situation. In the first moments of the manga one of the characters is killed by the 'gamemaster' for refusing to take part in quite a gory fashion. Now I've never been on the verge of death other than when I slip on the stairs but I find the reactions of most characters to their situation most unlikely. I suppose this brings us onto characterisation where it's important to remember these are meant to be Japanese high schoolers.

Should both werewolves be executed the villagers will be free to leave, however if the werewolves can kill all villagers they will be released. At night the werewolves can kill one villager, while the prophet can spy Each day at 8PM the 'Town' votes for one of their own to be executed as they seek out the werewolves. The situation are ten characters face is the life and death game of deceit.įor brief explanation ten high school students are kidnapped by a mystery man and forced to compete in the 'Werewolf Game', where 7 villagers and a prophet must seek out two werewolves. I'm debating whether to recommend this to fans of Town of Salem or the other variations of the game, which is what Jinrou Game is. It's an exciting killing game with decent art and decent characters that won't blow you away but makes for an enjoyable waste of time. It is nothing special, but in my opinion it doesn't need to be. Simply put: Know what to expect when you start reading Jinrou Game. Overall it is average, but it is good where it counts. Overall I like the style though and I am a fan of what they did in some parts, when they used symbolic pictures to describe a situation or explain some rules etc. The art is great in some places and below average in others. The support cast is two-dimensional and some are walking stereotypes. The characters lack depth, but the main character is likeable and somewhat It's simple-minded fun to see teenagers kill and suspect each other. But it doesn't work in spite of that, it works because it is so simple! You know what you get, is all I'm saying. It is a simple killing game (known to me as "Mafia", also known as "Werewolf Game") without an intricate setup or huge, surprising twists. To call the story simple would be an understatement. Nonetheless, it is still an entertaining and enjoyable read if you are looking for something that's easy to digest! Jinrou Game is by no means a masterpiece.
