Great story. Thank you, Random button.

holy shiznit dawg.... 

i did NOT see that ending coming.

Plot twisted like a twizzler. That was insane.

the flash backs got a bit confusing but that was a great story.

This is definitely one of the best stories I read in a while. Multiple layers & twists, interesting setting and a good execution from the part of the author.

 

I hope that someone will pick up "Akumu no Kanransha", another work by the same author who made this.

The setting is somewhat the same except now the characters are trapped in a ferriswheel.

That.......... was the strangest thing I have ever read. And I mean that.

This was sooo freaking good!!

True End! At last!

While it was a good story it's a logical fallacy

While it's a bit late to say this, it's necessary to understand that in the Japanese legal system, a confession is needed to convict a criminal, and that once a confession has been extracted - even under duress, it's actually extremely hard for the confessor to retract it, especially if the confession is made in writing and stamped. In fact, this is a major problem with the Japanese legal system, as the police in Japan have basically developed many ways to extract a confession from a suspect through psychological torture. In some cases, confessions made under duress have even trumped DNA evidence, and it takes years to overturn a verdict. Here's a 2007 BBC article on this subject:

So if the police think you have committed a crime they do all they can to make you confess.

 

This, by the way, is also why Japanese fictional detectives are STILL very much obsessed with extracting confessions even today - long after the same trope has been abandoned in Western fiction. It's the shortcut to victory.

The fuck

 

This one hell of creepy story

TRUE END now, major plot twist @_@

 

Yandere Imouto ah yeeeee.

I only read the first chapter years ago, but never found the continuation

thanks MangoScan for completing this manga XD

TRUE END now, major plot twist @_@

I enjoyed this one, it was a little creepy but really really cool at the same time
This one actually is a movie called Elevator Trap.

Hmm, I liked the "cut" chapter with the missing pages more. I think that was a better ending "Why are we all on the same elevator?" than well... the plot twist.
Why was the exact same chapter uploaded as a differant chapter?
was that the ending? or is there more?
Is that it? Sigh.
Yeah. The 2 or 3 pages that are missing are basically that.
Was the whole thing a ploy to get him to confess?
It looks like the original scanlator missed or never posted the ending. Mango scans redid the chapter with ending so it'll be posted sooner or later.
Huh?
What happened to the rest of it?
