Introduction:
"Dead Company" – where do I even begin? As an avid fan deeply enamored with survival games filled with gore, betrayal, and intricate plot twists, my anticipation for this manga was palpable. However, to my disappointment, it fell short of my expectations. Despite hoping for a narrative steeped in mystery and mind games akin to Yoshiki Tonogai's previous masterpieces like Secret, Doubt, and Judge, I found myself underwhelmed. It pains me to admit that the script felt rather rudimentary, lacking the electrifying excitement I've come to expect. It begs the question: has the author perhaps hit a creative roadblock, struggling to conjure a scenario and ... survival game worthy of its predecessors?

Plot Summary:
To explain what the manga "Dead Company" is about, the main character, after surviving a survival game, rebuilds himself and gradually finds a job in a video game company. But he starts to notice little by little that the company was the one who organized the death game in real life. I mean, by playing the game, people in real life get into trouble.

Well, for now, nothing special. The beginning is somewhat predictable. If you're smart, some events that occur seem to be related to the company in the first chapters. Basically, the company's game aims to create a very realistic survival game, which is why the main character has been hired. In a way, he is forced to help them.

Character Analysis:
Hmm, what can I say about the different characters? Honestly, there is nothing to say about them; they're just empty. The main character is not smart or manipulative; it could have been you or me, someone who doesn't know how to act on his own and just follows whoever wants to be his ally. That's just pitiful. The script is so messy that I don't know who the real antagonist is, even at the end of the manga.

My Opinion:
Definitely, it's not a manga worth your time. I was initially excited to read the manga but ended up regretting it. The manga conveys no message, elicits no reaction, and the ending is just so-so. There are no interesting plot twists, no charismatic characters, no surprises; it was like reading a banal manga, and the ending leaves me indifferent.

Conclusion:
In a nutshell, the reason why I decided to write this review is to dissuade people from reading this manga. It's quickly read and quickly forgotten. I hope that this review has been helpful and convinces you not to read it. If you have already read it and took the time to listen to me, I hope we share the same opinion about this manga.
