Been reading this now for last couple of days and it's really surprising on how much I've come to enjoy it. While the story is fairly typical survive game setup, the characters themselves have been truly what's been carrying the manga. The Alice and co have wonderfully human-ike conflicts with enough layers to them that make them rather compelling characters who readers will want to see how they survive this brutal situation with no obvious end goal.
