So far i have read a total of 6 chapters And only 3 letters stays pinpointed on my head. ~WTF~

Lets get down to Business , If you dislike heavy gore, extreme nudity and hate deaths in general, Then i would advise you to never ever read this manga. On the other hand if you enjoy them, then oh boy, you are in for a treat.

Story(6/10)
As the Synopsis shows "Distributing thrilling videos in secret! A school game that puts life and death on the line!". Along these lines i would really recommend adding the words "What","The" and "Fuck".
After laughing out loud on ... how cheesy it sounds i decided to venture in the unknown expecting little, But right of the bat i was intrigued by the simple plot it gives. Not only is it easy to grasp but it leaves quite a few mysteries that makes you get hooked to a extent as well as crazy Cliffhangers. Right now i cannot wait till the next chapter comes out

Art(9/10)
Oh Ma God. Don't even get me started on how good and refining the art style is. The background may not WOW you , but the design of the characters excite me if ya catch my drift :). All in all the art quality is consistent throughout the chapters .

Character(7/10)
At first i thought the main male lead was just your average student getting caught in a mess. But my god. I clearly did not expect him to have such a weird fetish. Ever heard of the phrase" Never Judge a book by its cover?" yea, well this phrase could be used on every Character. Its the Unique sudden Eureka moment when you finally see their true colors that makes you think,"Wow that's screwed up" But once you expect this the factor of amazement is gradually decreased. One thing that makes me sad is the development of many characters are utterly ignored.(or just ATM). If we could learn more about the characters then maybe we would emphasis with them a bit more. But still gotta Love the Main lead, Both female and Male :D.

Enjoyment(10/10)
I totally enjoy Anything involving Nudity,gore and horror so .... I loved it.

Overall(8/10)
From the direction this manga is heading , it is looking very promising.

The story is really dumb. But if you're the type of person that will read this after being intrigued by the plot-line, then you might enjoy it. I read it because I like darker stuff, but rather than being pitch-black, this is more like a shit brown. The main girl is drawn really attractively so that kept me reading, plus the rest of the artwork is well done. But holy shit if this won't make you lose a few brain cells in the process of reading it.

I think I should reiterate that the only enjoyment I got out of this was that the ... main girl is hot and sometimes you get to see her tits. Skip this if you are over the age of 15 or have higher standards in writing then badly written NTR.

[Semi Spoilers but only disclosing what happens in the first chapter so you better be not surprised]
=TL;DR WILL BE AT THE BOTTOM=
You follow the main character Machiya Tomohiro, a cameraman working for the Film Research Club. The only thing he ever wants in life to to record and film. One day he bumps into a girl named Mashiro Mai, who asks him to record her daily life. Being the edgy man that Machiya is, he accepts and continues to film her for the next few days. One thing leads to another and suddenly Machiya finds that Mashiro is a crazy murdering bitch.

Now, as someone who ... really enjoys reading graphic manga, Dead Tube really shines upon itself on it's artwork, thanks to Kitakawa Touta, but my main concern is how hard it tries to be to, "become the most edgiest manga" in the story line. I won't be spoiling anything that happens after chapter one but I will hint out that everything past chapter one is a disappointment. The format of the story is just fantastic, showing how crazy humans can be just for fame and fortune, and will do anything for it, but it will bring you down that it just kind repeats itself for the next several chapters. All they want and do is sex and murder, giving you a vibe that it just repeats itself consistently. After chapter 15, it just becomes ridiculous and uninteresting, trying to keep itself up with being edgy. In my opinion, you don't connect with the story and just basically stay for the artwork provided. One thing that really grinds my gears is the characters.

The characters are cliche, plain and uninteresting to see. You get your MC, boring, has no meaning in life and just stays there for plot convenience, then you have SC, who is a crazy yandere bitch that will do anything for money and fame (or just outright crazy). Any other character introduced will just make you annoyed to the point you're asking yourself 'when will they die?' and if that thought ever arose from my mind, I would drop the series completely. You don't really feel for the characters but rather to just pitch a tent or unleash the water gates.

The setting of the story is pretty common too. You have the highschool, the MC house, sometimes the SC house and it just really doesn't bring much to the table. Though after the 12 or so chapters, the setting changes completely which is good in a way but it doesn't change the fact that the story itself is kind of bland.

Bad notes aside, I've been mentioning this a lot in the review but the artwork is just tremendous. The way the facial expressions are, the movements and the gore really gives you a great feeling about the story. It may look normal and typical the first few frames but focus a lot on the characters faces and it's somewhat realistic.

This has been my first review so I apologize if everything is all over the place or there is grammar mistakes but I thank you for reading and taking your time this far! I will give my overall verdict.

As seen above my review, I am giving this a 6/10 Benedict Cumberbatch's. The reason why it isn't any lower is because of the artwork alone. The story is unique in a way but it doesn't try hard enough to make it seem unique and special in its' own way and continues to try so hard to be edgy that it's a complete square. The characters are boring and uninteresting and it just doesn't make me want to keep reading. If you're here for the titties then enjoy them while it lasts because it will get boring real quickly.

=TL;DR=
Story is special but doesn't highlight on it, the art is amazing, with having amazing facial expressions, characters are boring as shit, you're most likely going to read it for the titties.
Thanks for reading! (　＾∇＾)

Story: it's quite unique in a way, overall for the genre, it starts on shockingly on hold but the director and teacher arc's do save the day

Art: stunning, refined and very ''beatifully made'' it will catch your eye

Characters: impressive development during the so far published material, much more than you can count on at first glance

Enjoyment: if you're into the genre or the story and characters interest you to keep on reading or you love series with many twists, it will definitely entertain you

Overall: if you're not into a bit of gore and nudity then stay away however if you want something in the ... category that can be refreshing, then recommended, Final Score: 8/10

After I read the existing 44 chapters I can give my honest review about this shitshow:

DeadTube is way to fckd up and thats its problem. The scenes and storys connected to them are basicly always the same. They all rely on rape, nuditiy, gore and revenge. These things are a very cheap way of writing and also of presenting a story. The actions from almost every single character are not reasonable at all.They mostly "just do" for always the same reason. (money or fetish)

I mean, its good if you want to lose some braincells. I cant imagine any1 really enjoying this bs unless you are ... under the age of 16 (Kappa). This is the kind of shit why so many "normies" dont want to give manga/anime a try and for me its understandeble.

3/10 bye

What starts as an interesting horror manga about social media stars fighting each other to the death to gain fame and fortune quickly degrades into hackneyed, trope-ridden torture porn that appeals to exactly no one.

The characters: dull and bland, they each have one trait that gets old immediately. To serve the "plot," everyone and their mother are evil rapists who, just like the author, really, REALLY, hate women. The games: nonsensical. Stuff occurs because the editor thought it looked cool, or they had to fill the sex quota. The actual content: totally offensive in every way. Dead Tube seeks only to shock, in the most ... surface-level definition of the term, never to actually challenge the audience's perceptions or views. Everything you expect to happen will, none of the main characters die (even if they were blown up earlier on), and the story goes nowhere. The only good thing is the gore, which is hardly a compliment since that's the main selling point. Wow, you did the bare minimum, great job.

TL;DR: One of the worst things I've ever read. If you want a compelling tale of survival and betrayal, read Tomodachi Game. If you want to see social media influencers confront their deepest insecurities and fight to the death, check out Real Account. But whatever you do, stay away from Dead Tube.

Where do I begin with the mess that this manga's story is? As a person who doesn't like survival games, yet I have read a fair bit of Btoom...not sure if that is it's correct spelling or not, but I do not see any story in Dead Tube. Btoom is the only other survival game manga I have read which had a story. Dead Tube has a plot, but that is all it has. The plot being film gruesome scenes and get the most views. It's a good idea as a plot point, but not as a story.

And the "story" is hardly held together by ... the two main characters who at 33 chapters in haven't displayed any real kind of development aside from some dull moments of forced emotional distress. Adding to this, we also gain quite a few one off characters which are introduced during the arc and subsequently killed off in the same arc. Few characters have hung around long enough to see the next arc, but still no development even from them.

Even the villans hang around just long enough for their roll and then they die.

The point here is explaining why there is no story to this manga and why all the characters are more or less side characters and not main. There is no over arcing plot, unless you count the psycho girls backstory which we've gotten already. What is the point of Dead Tube? Seems it would be better suited as a case by case story, each chapter/arc being a new set of characters.

Now I've stray from the review a bit but only to show that this plot can be part of a good story, it's just horribly handle in this authors hands.

There are one or two interesting arc's within the manga but they are poorly done as I mentioned prior. Not to mention easily predictable. But if you are one for blood, gore, and lots of nakedness--as well as other bodily fluids that has decent art. Then this is the manga for you, just don't expect a story. It's just a bunch of killing.

Today is 8:10pm from where I am, and I just "ended" Dead Tube with Chapter 56, even if it was actually only an end an of a era, since as of today, 2 chapters are still serialized so the manga has not yet ended officially.

But now, since it ended a season for me, I want to talk about it as it is.

The manga was so messed up along the way, just because there were characters that you didn't want to die were killed; while those who were pure were hurt the most, and because of that, it makes you empathize with the main character even ... if at the start, you kinda didn't feel like it.

Tomohiro is a messed-up person, this is the type of person you expected to be an inteovert just because there are so many mysteries to his past, that the moment you figure it out, you can understand he's the way that he is. This is the same case with Mai.. but only the latter, as Mai is different, in that, she's more sociable and likes to express her thoughts more and likes to "expose" Machiya for lying sometimes, even when he himself doesn't sound like he was.
Mai likes to fun of Machiya, too.

Both were manipulators, but both had a heart.

This manga had a lot of shit characters, but mostly because you expected them to die anyways or they were skeptical because they know Tomohiro at a personal level. Not only that, but some..they were very welcoming at the start for some odd reason that isn't fully explained. I mean, one minute, you're introduced to a character that seems nice or harmless, the next minute, they're orchestrating your downfall and want to cut you up, and take your innards.

This goes the same for Mai and the others, too. Since Mai was a psychopath, and while she did have heart, sometimes she's just there letting stuff happen until something crucial happens, and then suddenly, she becomes a "deus-ex machina" to Tomohiro. Luckily, that doesn't happen in an annoying fashion unlike some shows, as it does show, that she's willing to put her life on the line for her newfound friends. Meanwhile Tomohiro is often useless in battles, yet he indeed makes up for them with his wits and cunning dark side as well as his level of understanding even if in the most deadliest of situstions, even when he's essentially just a sociopath who's turned on by sadism on the outside; which is something Mai likes to tease him for.

Mawi is often a damsel in distress, and Nozomi is just a full-on prostitute and slut who likes Money. These 4 were deep characters, but they were shitty mostly because they were crossing a moral code as well as twisting what is right and what is wrong, as well as what is legal, while Mawi was mostly useless in the entire run.

But... while that's the case, I never expected to still miss it after it ended for me. I actually felt empty and bitter-sweet when it ended the season, which is a common occurence when you end a wholesome anime. This series also a weird sense of redeeming some characters from who they were, which is not entirely impossible, as Tomohiro, for example, specifically, does have a hidden reason for his actions.

This anime, of course, isn't entirely wholesome, as it kills off characters you get to connect to, it's also really messed-up with concept. It even scars characters, psychologically, too. Same with the reader of the mang, if they aren't entirely prepared.

The manga also has a lot of plot holes, which is entirely on the fact that no one gets arrested. It makes you wonder why the police would still even investigate certain tragic events that transpire if none of them would take action anyway? Maybe, Dead Tube really was overseeing something with the Force, but the manga never really explains it, and thus, it makes me take the entire thing less seriously than it wanted me to. It's not that bad, considering this was a world that completely let a "red-room inspired" website, but it did bother me, since it made the police force a leave a sour taste in my mouth with how corrupt they are in retrospect. If anything, they were of a clean-up group than an actual police force.

I think what makes this manga worth a read are the twists. Seriously, there's a reason why a series like Death Note or Monster is intriguing, and that's keeping you subverted despite all the obvious expectations. Because while there are some parts that, while they do end or happen the way you think, it often doesn't and it catches you off guard.

This manga was a struggle to read, but I had a great time with Mai, Machiya, Mawi and Nozomi.

Technically, the manga is still serializing after that "end", but with the way the story wrapped up the way it did despite being a cliffhanger, I didn't want to continue anymore.

Maybe I will check the next season of that manga, who knows? but I think it might not give the same feeling as I did when I first read it, and because of that, I'm happy to let it go. But, I still do wish the duo luck in their next projects as well as this manga's contination. Kitakawa, Touta and Yamaguchi, Mikoto; thank you for this flawed yet satisfying story.

Up until Chapter 56:
Plot: 6/10
Characters: 7/10
Art: 9/10
Gore: 10/10
Sex: 6/10
Censorship: 5/10

That being said, thank you for reading my essay, JUSTICE COMPLETE.

== SPOILER FREE ==

I decided to start this manga as I saw it was quite popular among fans of guro, which is one of my favourite genres, so why wouldn't I give a manga with glistening reviews a go!

Story: 3

The first arc of the manga absolutely hooked me in, the characters all looked interesting and everything had such potential. However as I continued reading I very quickly began to realise how repetitive the arcs became, and how the mangaka very much relied on ~plot twists~ to try and make the story interesting.

Art: 9

I love the art. Every panel is drawn well, the details are astounding. ... The author never holds back on the gore and aside from the story it's everything you could want.

Character: 4

At first I was captivated by the characters, especially Machiya, our mc. However as the story progresses, his character quickly devolves into one that is extremely easy to hate. The female characters absolutely carry the manga, they're the only ones with ANY personality and depth to them and just outshine the rest of the cast. But as you can imagine, since this work is just a cesspit of fanservice and nsfw content, the women in the manga don't really get any chance to shine outside of being used for sex appeal.

Enjoyment: 4

My interest in the manga started off at a 10 and devolved as the story went on, there's only so much enjoyment you can get out of a repetitive storyline. Everything became predictable but at the same time I never knew what to expect as there was no real story to it.

Overall: 4

Even though I loved the female characters and the art, those 2 factors alone were not enough to justify how awful this manga is. At this point I seriously wish the author would just end the work, the longer he drags it on the more he ruins the work. There was a potential for a good ending but instead of giving the readers what they wanted, a satisfying end to a long journey, another arc began again. If you want to save your time from disappointment I would recommend reading the 12 volumes and stopping there, make up your own ending because the author won't give us one.

Its just pure gore and rape. The only reason I'm still reading this is because the art is so damn good and cuz this manga is so 'unique'. The story is fine, but the author is pretty messed up... Almost every female introduced gets raped or killed eventually, including high-schoolers and middle-schoolers.

Art: 9/10. Some of the best gore i've seen, and the illustrator is worryingly good at drawing rape scenes.

Story: 3/10. Some arcs actually had a story to them, and some even had decent conclusions with people continuing their lives. But then future arcs would bring that person back and have them gangraped ... for literally no reason...

Character: 7/10. Yandere fmc, decent mc

Enjoyment: 3/10. I felt so disgusted reading some of the stuff, but I kept on reading anyways...

I still think you should try it though if you think you are interested, it's definitely a new experience

I always loved weird stuff, because it is really pleasant to see author being truly free in their art, some may think that all the gore and sex violence is just "free " and in some way it is, but it's just great to see an author who really do not care if his art and idea will bother people or not.

Dead tube is a great manga, but not for every one, like many horror movie that get bad review because people can not stand to watch scary/gruesome stuff, wich i understand since i was like that before, i had really bad experience with some ... movie that haunted me in a bad way, and i get why this manga may give this feeling to some people, but here the think: It's the objective.

If the manga was a kawaii horror show, it would not work as well it does by not have a censorship politic toward what it can or not show, the author do not care, he just do what he want and it's beautiful, of course many time it make him lose his track and he finish to make some bad choice of his overwall story, but in the end, it doesn't really matter, it's gruesome and fun and many times really stupide, but it's the salt of this manga, being stupide and gruesome, take it or leave it.

[Spoilers later in the review] (Will mark where spoilers begin)
Dead Tube is the manga that you hear about in high school from a friend because its super fucked up and it will traumatize you. The best analogy for this series is that it's the manga iteration of the darkweb site "Run the Gauntlet". For those that don't know run the gauntlet is a website found on the dark web where you watch increasing distrubing videos ranging from breaking bones to child dying and suicide tapes. To be honest only certain types of people can watch read this manga and those are people that ... have alreaady lost their innocence and know that this world isn't aas safe and pretty as we think it is. For those that can get very emotional from disturbing imagary or are very sensitive when it comes to the suffering of others. Please don't read this it isn't worth really reading in the long run for the content that it shows.

Now regarding the manga itself I say that its pretty average the art style is very chaotic and gritty almost sraatchy to match the aestethic and themes of the manga, but the clarity in some panels can be lost from time to time. The characters aren't anything special, but the writing does a good enough job of keeping the audience follow the main cast while also rooting for them to keep pushing forward. To make clear though none of the characters aare good people. Not by a long shot every single person featured in this manga that takes a active role in the manga reaps what they sow despite the atrocities commited. Regardless though you still get a shitty feeling afterwards where all you think about is this sense of turmoil sitting in your stomach.

For me I hate content like this, anything involving rape, murder, deciet, NTR, etc really messes with my head and fucks up my mental, but at the same time though I think it's important for some one who is not comfortable with this to give a objective take on the series regardless of person morales and feelings regarding what is happening in the manga.

Lastly the story does a good job of sticking to the survival, horror/thriller. It has elements found in other manga like Btooom!, Deaadman Wonderland, Liar Game, and Doubt. Overall up to chapter 55/56 the story in my opinion did a good job of keeping the audiences attention while also not relying to heavily on plot twist to get the story to progress. Us as the aaudience could usually tell wehat was happening and the general flow of the plot. There were times that caught me off gaurd when I thought the plot was going in another direction. After 56 though it goes down hill (Spoilers for Dead Tube after this Point!!!!!!!!!)

After chapter 55/56 the story switches away from the MC of the story to a new incoming freshman girl who is in love with the kid that we saw in the school helping out Hanae Hiwa. Basically Chapter 55/56 ends with the MC killing his own father who was the Co-Founder/Creator of Dead Tube and that the MC's entire life was all set up for the fathers Magnum Oppus video. So every event in the store between 1-55 was orchestrated by the MC's father behind the scene. Now though after the father is dead the manga introduces Dead Tube Neo to take it's place and it's now centered around this new girl who has gotten herself involved. The writing after 56 is pretty weak with most of the plot being very poor and linear, its mostly just rehashings of oldplot lines.

Overall I gave it a 6/10 for most of its run it offers for those who want it very grotesque, abhorant, and obscene displays of the worst aspects of the human race all for the sake of the entertainment of others. Honestly though I hope that no one ever reads this series cause it's just a mashup of all the worst traits a person can have wrap into a nice little manga series.

I hope this review was even a little bit helpful.

When was the last time you spend watching videos some people died in accidents brutally screwed up a bit..

Well If that's the cases we have here called a not so normal website when people tried to post some gruesome lowlife stock even talk about sex or death.. all over in the internet

I mean seriously? What could be possibly wrong with that? Said that to a freaking sadist like me...

The story isn't really that ordinary... If I remember correctly There's no way out, after you participate in some random stunt game.. You should Come up with some ideas in order to kill someone then ... post it and now became viral after that some people reward you a price that's all.. But there's a punishment where the participants got killed when the video isn't interesting...Getting teaming up with a Psycho Sadist Bitch isn't really a bad idea..The only problem that comes from my mind is how can you trust her..
doing this onto her on self and keeping a secret to him. It's more like a hobby to her and now the guy has a weird fetish video taping numerous student die in your school. even your other member show their true colors..
"Being Nude don't make you attractive, As long as you spice them up a bit It's getting pretty much interesting," See What i thought, you're being left out and now you're becoming one of them.. Even the fanservice is becoming a borderline in every series... Due to my aspect it's a worth read.. I know some people found it "Most Fucked up Scene".. IMO Why don't you check it right now... and how good it was, Unless you're here for the PLOT but not the story..

Overall 9-1 = 8/10

Essensially, this manga is for those who love gore, extreme nudility, and horror. If you can't take any of these things, stay away from this manga at all costs or you will have wierd images burned into your brain.

Story (6/10): I'll be honest, the plot isn't great. Once you get into it (around 25 chapters in) the story begins to get really repetitive. Outside of deadtube videos and events, the story of the characters in school (without the gore) is seriously medicore. Even Tomohiro Machiya's main goal in deadtube is really not written well (not explaining the goal due to spoilers but yeah). There ... are a few inconsistencies and questional points in the plot (again not going into details due to spoilers). However besides this cases, the story of the deadtube videos and events are made reasonably well. There are plenty of plot twists in that make you appreciate the author's creativity (or what seems to be mental insanity to some). Overall, the story wasn't great, but it wasn't exactly bad either.

Art (10/10): The art is simply amazing. The art is clearly refined down to the detail and the art quality is really consistent throughout the all of the chapters. The extreme gore and death scenes are all done flawlessly with extreme precision. The art does a great job of displaying the character's emotions such as pleasure, insanity, questional mental states, and anger. The quality of art is so good that it makes me question Kitakawa Touta's sanity. If you can stomach all the gore, I would honestly recommend reading this just for the art.

Character (5/10): The character development wasn't great either. The characters are really only developed through deadtube and gory events. Although the character's fetish's, insanity, and enjoyments where very well characterized, everything else about the character was practically ignored. Thus, I gave the characters a really average score.

Enjoyment (5/10): I believe the amount of enjoyment for each person will vary drastically due to the differences in taste. Personally as someone who doesn't love extreme gore and death, naturally a manga such as this wouldn't give me much enjoyment. My enjoyment mainly came from the amazing art and some interesting plot twists through the story. However, if you're someone who love gore and messed up scenes, this manga would become your favorite very fast.

Overall (8/10): Although my enjoyment wasn't very high, I still have to give it to this manga for the fantastic art and beautifully constructed scenes of mental insanity. The overall high score largely came from the extremely accurate descriptions of messed up sh*t through the flawless art. This manga is most definitely the most messed up manga of everything I've seen.

TLDR - Like gore? Read it. Don't like gore? Don't read it. Indifferent? Read it cuz art is cool.

So, I see this manga again after two years since I first read it in 2016, and I spent the last 2 days binging it and catching up to what is at the time of this post the latest chapter, chapter 44.

First off this isn't a manga that should be binged. It's just unbearable to read multiple chapters of this psychotic shitshow of a manga. At least not for me.

As for the manga itself, I guess I'll start with story. The general synopsis is that there's this site called Deadtube and people upload basically very very bad boy stuff on there from rape to mutilation ... and murder to gain views and millions of yen. The site and the acts that can be seen on the site are protected from worldwide scrutiny by "corruption", a really totally completely flawless excuse for why people can get away with mass murder and the like.
But guess what, there's a super secret catch, the lowest viewed channel on the site gets to take the fall for all the rest of the crimes and shit the rest of the site does.
Now the story focuses on our MC, a sad degenerate to put it mildly, who loves filming. What he likes filming the most though, well that's you would have to read to find out.
Oh, don't get it wrong, he's not alone. 95% of the characters in this manga are just plain psychos just to be psychos. The author also has the really cool habit of making sure to brutally kill off pretty much every character who's somewhat good for the really wow factor.
The other 5% of the characters are a little better development wise but when your main girl's specialty is to just to be a weapon wielding psycho , it doesn't really speak volumes about your ability to make interesting characters.
The arts somewhat decent, which is a small saving grace of this manga. It does give good eye candy of cute girls, of course before it brutally kills them or before making sure to shove in your face a friendly reminder that they're either side characters to rack up the body count or just evil as shit villians.

Enjoyment wise, this was a hassle to catch up on. The main characters are pretty much all trash, both trash in writing, and trash as you want them to die. The story is halfassed with the excuse of "muh corruption" to explain why they can somehow coverup a site that hosts massive amounts of videos of mass murders and torture that involve thousands of people at minimum. It would be one thing if this manga incorporated perhaps some kind of fantasy element to help out with this, but this manga is supposed to be set in the same time era as current, so there's no excuse for why a supposed murder site of this proportion, even with the help of corrupt officials, would still be able to stay in the dark after all of the chaos it's brought. The only thing I found interesting about this manga was the good art and the fact that some of the characters that are seen are pretty fine, but even that is in general ruined by the fact that they are either psychotic or just get killed immediately.

Overall, I give this a 5. If you love gore and can turn your brain off to a shit plot, then go and enjoy this slaughterfest. Otherwise don't even bother, it's just another crappy gore manga that tries to play up the shock factor.

*INCLUDES MINOR SPOILER*

I have never read Gore Mangas, but this is gonna be my first time reading one. Actually my curiosity brought me up from a Youtuber that shared and surfaced one of the disturbing Mangas in the internet. Dead tube is one. So at first, I was really in disbelief what they reviewed how f*ked up this series can be. But then i started off reading the manga, I honestly didn't bothered much about the Gore/Hentai stuffs than watching non-anime snuff films.

This one caught my attention because there were a lot of entertaining scenes. I really liked how the plot goes, it has the ... Detective vibe in every concluding story which made me binged to keep going with the series especially the rascal part.

My favorite was the Suicide of Sanagi. At first I was confused, but the part where Machiya was betrayed had a beautiful & satisfying comeback.

As I read the rest of the series, I started to realize some dull & repetitive points of the story with the upcoming characters' personality. So in a nutshell, Dead Tube is pretty much a Youtube Parody but in a gory perspective way to gain profit.

-----

Overall Rating, 7/10 Looking forward for the next chapter!

Idk how to explain it but i feel this enjoyment while i was reading it the characters are awesome there are many unexpected scenes for me the genre are pretty good if your love yandere i recommend you to read this i hate reading long reviews so yeah just read it yourself =^= turns out i cant upload short review '-'.... I'll start again in the story, the story is about dead tube where they put different kind or videos it became popular to their school the thing is the more dangerous the video you uploaded the more people would be interested to watch them ... so more views their like in a competition to whos going for the top...

i finished this manga in the span of 3 days.
honestly ,, i really found this manga interesting to read ,, im a fan of horror/gore type genre.
i dont necessarily recommend this manga to anyone who is sensitive to T;W gore ,, sexual harrasment and such. viewer discretion is advised for this one. definately not for kids lol.

the plot and story was quite good for me. a little bit more than decent. most of them had some what predictable plot twists ,, although that doesnt make it any less enjoyable.
i enjoyed reading them and always had the urge to continue reading.

the art was alright ,, it ... was good. not sure how to describe this lol. i guess the art style isnt the most unique as compared to others but the story makes up for it. the gore and stuff isnt over too over the top for me ,, which made it more realistic in a sense.

the characters in this series were enjoyable. on the surface ,, it seemed like they all did not have any personality ,, which is okay as this is a somewhat messed up story ,, but i did come to a liking towards mai. shes the most likable in this story for me.

overall ,, i would rate this manga higher if i could read past chapter 54 :( i cant find it anywhere.

I gave this manga a 3 but not because it's bad or anything but because it's the most fucked up shit I've ever read in my entire life. The author of this manga must have the most twisted mind possible to be able to come up with shit like this. In general the dead tube is a good horror manga it just lacks the realism of works such as the ones of junji ito. The characters in the manga were all probably just as twisted as the author himself and it was really nice seeing all these mentally ill characters interact with each other because ... it's partly really uniquely made in this manga. Another thing I want to compliment is the quality of the art. The only reason I rated it this low is because it was so shocking at some points that i ended up feeling like shit for the next few weeks afterwards and i really hate that feeling. Conclusively I can fairly say that deadtube is objectivly probably around a 7 but for me not hire than a 3 because it's way too fucked up for my own taste.
If you are into really fucked up horror manga with mentally ill characters then dead tube is for you. If you are a normal person, please stay away from it for the love of god I'm begging you I don't want you to experience the same shit that I had to experience just go take a walk outside or learn a new skill or do fucking anything but read this manga you'll regret it afterwards trust me because once you start you will want to continue and your suffering will just get bigger the more you read so please just stay away from it as far as you can.

I'd say this is my guilty pleasure, but that would require me to feel guilty. There seems to be a misconception that the gore is unbearably gross, but that for me just wasn't the case, as there is never really anything too graphic shown. By that I mean theres not really any detail as the injuries are pitch black, they even make use of the lack of detail to make us think a character got a fatal injury, when the blood covering the supposed injury made it almost impossible to see it wasn't the case. Take this with a grain of salt as it might ... change later in the manga(I'm 16 chapters in as of writing this)

There is frequent nudity, and the things that happen can be quite disturbing. Scenes that are unsettling are not unsettling due to disturbing imagery, but the scenario itself. The manga includes very heavy topics, in fact it seems to collect them like the infinity stones. Of course, if you're bad with blood you should stay away, as I'm writing this review with the assumption that anyone reading can handle basic slasher flicks.

The plot is fun, even if at sometimes it seems to only be there to connect the gore and what not and make the story coherent. But sometimes plot developments can actually make you interested to see what comes next, and otherwise does enough to keep you amused.

This is shocking for the sake of shocking. It appeals to your morbid curiosity and that's mostly it. If that's what you're looking for, this is a good read.

Also this manga is by the same guy as Tomodachi Game, which is extremely good story-wise, so there is much potential for Dead Tube with that in mind.
