Author: Yua Kotegawa
Publisher: ADV Manga
Genre: Manga; Young Adult Thriller
Rated: Older Teen (violence, some gore, intense situations, language)
Summary: Normal. Carefree. This was Chiko's life before the day she found the cell phone. Before the voice on the other end said she had scant minutes to save the life of someone she'd never met. Now, accompanied by her classmate Bando, Chiko has just one night to stop a series of gruesome deaths before they can occur.
Art: Black & white; simple backgrounds, pretty characters.
Story: A quick, intense one-shot that kept my interest all the way through. It read more like a Japanese novel than a manga, but without the length of an actual novel, which was nice.
Characters: Everyone was a little odd (especially Bando), but Chiko's strength fit the story.
Comments: While simple, it was interesting and I enjoyed the short burst of intensity it brought to my evening.
Recommend?: If you like time-clock thrillers, it's worth the one-sit read.
