Judge, Vol. 1 (Judge, 1) Paperback – August 20, 2013

Judge, like Doubt, is a psychological horror manga that delves into the ethical systems of individuals and pushes those systems to the extreme. The manga follows Hiro as his recounts his inner demons, or rather, his sin; having been in love with a childhood friend who was dating his older brother, Hiro stages a delay in the couple's date in order to reveal his true feelings to his crush, only to discover that his brother was involved in an accident that claimed his life. After this flashback, Hiro awakens in a small room with his hands cuffed behind his back and a hideously designed mask on his head. Following the narrow hallway outside his room, Hiro enters into a courtroom that houses eight other victims much like himself. It is here that the game is revealed: Judge is a game in which only four of the sinners present may survive and the rest will be sentenced to death by the voting of the majority. But Hiro doesn't believe that killing is the answer; so long as a majority isn't established, then they all may live until help arrives. If they must die, then why not die together? If they must live, then why not work together to find a way out? Judge is definately a satisfying read for those who enjoyed Doubt and love a good mystery.

I have not yet read the book, but just based on how it arrived it is great. It arrived in perfect condition condition. Not a single scratch or tear. I am very satisfied.

This is what I love to read! A psychological, mystery, horror story where you don't know what will happen next.If you like these kind of stories like I do then this is A must read!

Definitely an interesting read, and suspenseful. Unfortunately I read this a while ago so I can't add much beyond that, but I remember really enjoying it. I was traveling after I bought it, and forgot all about buying the next books in the series, but I'll definitely be buying them now to find out what happens.

If you enjoy this author’s iconic brand of writing pre-dangan ronpa killing games with weird animal masks involving characters who aren’t who they say they are, you’ll like this one too. If you’re not into any of those things I mentioned, then this book ain’t for you!

love the series. read all in one night.

this manga is great. the plot is nearly similar to Doubt and the characters are good. can't wait to read the next book.

It was interesting with some twists and turns. Many different characters with distinguished personalities. But above all it was a page turner.
