review 1: I am having a hard time rating this manga. I read it because it was recommended to me after reading Uzumaki. I do not want to give it a general rating at all because I do not advocate the approach the main characters have towards murders but here are my ratings broken down into two categories based on manga's that I have read:Unique overall plot: 5 out of 5. The two main characters are two teens who are obsessed with "finding" psychopath murderers and each murder has a unique way of killing their victims.Character's personalities and them as individuals overall: 0 out of 5. At the end of the manga even the author calls the protagonists idiots and their approach to murderers are stupid. They are asking to get killed. The female character is always the damsel in distress *ya... morewn* and the male character saves her every time. They do not study murders they just glorify them and follow them around. Once they catch them *spoiler alert* they let them get away! Someone get these kids a shrink, please!I think what bothered me the most was at the end of novel Otsuichi says, he "did not write this manga for entertainment." Then why did you turn your novel into a manga, which is one of the most entertaining forms of literature out there! I seriously doubt this book was written for public awareness.I have mixed feelings about this novel. It's different but it left me with an comfortable feeling for those teens and if it was not made to entertain then what was the author's goal?
review 2: sekilas ceritanya tidak jauh beda dengan MPD psycho series.sama2 membawa tema misteri&drama pembunuhan.perbedaan signifikan adalah segi pandang tokoh utamanya dalam memecahkan kasus.MPD psycho melihat identitas pelaku dari bukti jasad korban sedangkan goth lebih fokus pada obsesi pelaku.gambar grafis didalam goth cukup eksplisit&gory,direkomendasikan untuk readers 21+ penggemar cerita misteri&thriller nan berbobot:)dark theme inside storyline of goth is OK!:) less
