(L) Doubt

[Grimkill7]

Doubt is a mystery/suspense manga from Tonogai Yoshiki that is serialized in Shonen Gangan. It is currently being scanlated by SnoopyCool. Here is the synopsis from Baka-Updates Manga:

There's a game going around Japan called 'Rabbit Doubt'. The premise of the game is that all of the players are rabbits in a colony, and one amongst them is randomly chosen to be a wolf that infiltrated the group of rabbits. Every round, the wolf kills off a rabbit, and every round, the group tries to figure out which of the rabbits is actually a wolf in disguise. Sometimes the kids who play this game decide to meet up in person, and Yuu, Mitsuki, Rei, Hajime, Eiji, and Haruka have done just that. Unfortunately, one of them has decided to take on the mantle of the wolf and has already killed once. Who is the wolf, and can they be stopped before everyone meets a very unpleasant end?

So it is pretty much a "When killing becomes a game" manga. Though it seems to take a backseat to the mystery element, gore is present so be forewarned (or if you're into that, enjoy ). I'm really looking forward to reading this one because I like the characters so much, and it has been quite a while since I read a good mystery manga.

Covers for Chapter 1

When I first looked at Doubt and read the summary - I immediately thought of the movie Cry Wolf ... back, when was it? 2~3 years ago? I can't really remember when it was out lol but it was pretty much a similar thing.

However, I'm getting really interested in this O_O

8D

can't wait to read more of it!

[D a m i e n]

after reading the first chapter it made me think of Saw (movie) looks interresting depending on how they deal with the mysterie part and the motive of the "wolf"

[longshot]

well just read the 1st chapter....

interesting way to introduce the manga

[D a m i e n]

first volume ended nicely. every chapter hold his part of mistery and revelation and adds up to the chocking atmosphere.

it s one of the rare book i find myself looking forward to the next chapter.
i really like the atmosphere in this story it manages to give me that "suffocating" feeling i had when i used to play those survival/investigation games i used to play on sega saturn (though i cant remember the title of the one i have in mind, trapped into a house 'with a few girls :3' after bus accident)

[ImpulseRAven]

Just finished reading the 11 released chapters and i gotta say im loving it more and more each chapter. After re-reading the chapters again i noticed alot of little clues and things that could give away the 'Wolf'.

The Manga is definitely worth a 'read', it just seems sad that the story seems to be wraping up soon>.<. I think it would be sick if after the end there was a Higurashi style reset and the game starts over with a different wolf^.^

[kathiiee]

can someone give me a hint of who is the wolf?? i guess i kinda kno who that is but not sure o.o

[Deadwings]

Just read ch11 and... OMG! This manga is so freaking good!

Suspense is killing me, I'm dying to know who the wolf is! I know there aren't many options left but I would be expecting some interesting twist

[X207]

seems interesting, i'll check it out. ive played this game b4 in class. the wolf is chosen, lights go off and heads down as he kills then we all discus and kill who we thought it was. it was rather fun even if i was found quickly. are players actually killed in the manga or is it just the electronic rabbits? nvm, i just finished reading ch1 and got my answer.

[KickHopper]

Wow. Just read chapter 12. I hate cliffhangers in these kinds of mangas. =\

[X207]

wow, that is a tantalising cliff hanger.
ch11

Spoiler:

im annoyed that yuu's friend from childhood is dead, i was hoping she'd survive.

[Deadwings]

Okay... read ch 12. It says volumes 1 and 2 are out already, so... volume 3 will be extremely short i guess, there's not much to do after this point of the story no?

I don't know how much can i reveal by this but... here it goes

Spoiler for Ch12, you were warned:

I don't understand! someone else is in the house?? please what's that!!?? I'm really dissapointed, I wanted one of them to be the wolf... or at least that one of them isn't really dead, which is what I expect to happen.

"Solution" is the name of the chapter... did anybody caught the solution? I didn't

[Izayoi]

Chapter 11-

Spoiler for Chapter 11:

Hmm, the "Wolf's" cloth is different from Yuu's or anyone's, I don't think the "Wolf" would change his cloth before killing right?

Chapter 12 -

Spoiler for Hmm:

Thought so but who is the wolf?

[KickHopper]

Spoiler for Chapter 12:

If could either be Eiji or even possibly Mitsuki. We never really get to see Eiji's body clearly and the Wolf looked like he had a male figure, but it couldn't be that easily. It could somehow be Mitsuki since Yuu and her have been friends and it held her back, but then again, the Wolf attacked both Mitsuki and Hajime at the same time. Its all so confusing. D:

[X207]

lol, the series of events is rather confusing. someone dies ppl suspet them until an alibi is provided and the attention shifts. and all those lies get sonfusing :s

ch 12

Spoiler:

its bizarre b4 ch 12 its seemed to be a male figure that was killing them but after ch12 it seems to be a female figure. the person ataking both eiji and mitsuki might also be a lie on eiji's part.

[Samanosuke]

so after chapter 12 ,

Spoiler for chap 12:

I'm thinking the wolf is either Eiji , either Mitsuki.
because they're pretty much the only ones we haven't seen the body of .
I'm suspecting Mitsuki more , but just the fact that she seems the most fishy in my eyes makes Eiji look even more fishy ( if that makes sense.)
Another possibility i've been considering ever since the beginning is that Yuu is actually the wolf. kinda like that one french movie I forgot the name of. =/

Spoiler for Ch12 and the ones before too:

I also thought about Eiji and Mitsuki, but inmidiatly dropped Eiji since I don't think the wolf would cut his own hand (at least that it wasn't his hand... mmm...). About Mitsuki I thought that the body it was shonw to us could have been Haruka's body, we can't see the head (Haruka's is now headless hehe) and the room were she was killed if I'm not wrong is the same were Haruka locked herself in, so thinking like this, Mitsuki may still be alive. And that without mentioning that the last rabitt masked wolf seen looked like being a female.

about Yuu being the wolf, then the whole story would be a lie! Everything is told from his point of view so that means the author lied to all the time!

[Samanosuke]

Spoiler for chap 12 + speculations:

Well judging from the room with the material and all , I wouldn't be surprised if the wolf could have found spare "hand" with a code on the right place to use to trick. But then again the whole success of this would have had to rely on the fact that megane-kun ( forgot his name >_> ) and Yuu wouldn't have entered the room to see the corpse. Had they had the courage to enter , this would have failed Eiji's plan. So I guess we (might) can exclude him thanks to that.
Also somewhere else , someone suggested Rei just might be the wolf , she'd probably hypnotized everyone into thinking she got killed. Kinda like a certain person in bleach.
As for Yuu . The film I'm referring to had the main character has a double personality so she doesn't realize herself she's the one doing all the massacres.

But anyway , I'm thinking , how long will this manga be anyway ? it seems to be approaching the end . Once the wolf is found and killed/win , will the author move on with another group of people , or will it be over ? I'd like it to continue.

[Deadwings]

Spoiler for Ch 12 + more speculations:

However Yuu couldn't have killed Eiji, he was tied by Hajime (is this the megane-kun you mention? hehe), so at that time he was the only one who couldn't kill Eiji.
I wanna bet for Mitsuki!! anybody else thinks she is the wolf? (suposing there's only one wolf)
Rei hipnotizing everybody... mmmm... but there's no mistery then...

I don't agree with that, it will became more or less like Higurashi. This way it's like more original.

[X207]

the higurashi route sounds quite interesting to tell truth. i hope i goes on like that BC i liked how they dealt with the characters in the anime. took a while for me to get the right interpretation on how to view it but it sure was worth the end result.
