didn't work out so well...Two years later, Hiro wakes up after a seemingly random attack to find himself in a barren cell, arms shackled behind him and wearing
a grotesque rabbit mask. And he isn't the only one there... With nine players gathered, the Death Game
Judge begins...

Doubt. Can be read

live-action film
adaptation is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2013.
This manga provides examples of:
- Ambiguously Gay: Kazu. During his confession of his sin Kazu states that 'he can never love a girl' which either means that he is gay or that he does not have the emotional capacity to love anyone and rather just enjoys having sex. Of course due to how much Ho Yay is already going on between him and Hiro it is probably the former.
