I'll take this as a privilege for being the first to review this manga.
Even though there's only chapter 1 available, I guess I'll be biased because I've already read all the English translations of the BL Drama CD (Deadlock, Deadheat & Deadshot) and listened to it. Though I haven't read the actual novel.. but it's still the same anyway. And I'm sure this manga will get alot of ATTENTION once the later chapters will be released.
Story: 10/10
Of course.. I bet Deadlock will remind you of Under Grand Hotel of Sadahiro Mika-sensei because of the same setting. Prison. But no. It's not really the same. I

From the chapters released so far you can see they pretty much stick to the novel, so story-wise I don't think there are going to be any surprises.
The story is similar to "Under Grand Hotel" in terms of setting and even some events but this trend stops when it comes to it's characters. Deadlock's main couple's chemistry just pales in comparison to what Swordfish and Sen have going on and by no means Dick should be looked upon as the new Swordfish. Still, there is some kind of plot going on and it even managed to get sidetracked one time. The thing that pretty much saves this ...

I read the first and the second chapters in English, but there weren't any other chapters avaiable. I bought the manga in German (I'm actually german) because these two chapters impressed me so much (the story and the beautiful art), that I really wanted to go on reading. I must say also, that the 3rd and 4th chapters were as good or maybe better than the 1st and the 2nd.
I know that many of you will think that Deadlock is only a copy of „Under grand hotel“, but this really isn't true. Of course, it's the same setting and also a similar idea ...

It's a real shame that I could only find four translated chapters online, because from what I've read the story is quite amazing (I personally haven't read another like it, though I do know of the 'Under Grand Hotel' which is said to be slightly similar). I swear that each chapter is better than the last, chapters three and four were great! I found it really enjoyable to read and the artwork was appealing.
I love the characters. Especially Yuuto, Dick and Nathan... Can't really give a reason as to why I like them but I just do, It also helps that they aren't bad looking ... |
