Sommaire
Minato lives a meek but passable high school life. This all changed when an application named "Sacrificial Ballot" appeared on her phone one night, forcing her to vote for a person from her class. Whoever "sacrificed" was said to be given "social death."

Being upset with her classmate Kana who never bothers to reply to her messages, Minato voted for her without a second thought. When the result was announced the following day, it became clear that the one vote she casted caused Kana to become the most voted person in the class. Thinking the sacrificial ballot as no more than a prank, the class quickly dismissed any uneasiness raised. Little did class 2-C know, this was simply the start of a series of disturbingly immoral events...

No reviews, huh.

Well. This is trash. If you have been unlucky enough to see "Rengoku no Karma", this manga is similar - skilled artist for some incomprehensible reason depicting an "idiot plot" (check tvtropes for this one).

The premise is that in some more or less normal classroom, pupils get magical application installed onto their smartphones, it can't be removed, they have to vote, and whoever is voted out is going to experience "social death"... which means some secret of theirs is gonna be posted online, pretty much. Obviously, they all go nuts about it and try to act in most horrific and most nonsensical way possible.

Basically, this is a manga, that uses overly relies on shock, tries too hard to shock the viewer, and is obsessed with depicting humans as horrible horrible horrible creatures that do unthinkable things to each other given opportunity.

In the process of doing that, however, those kind of stories usually destroy any believability of the setting, as they require large number of people that are incapable of any kind of rational thinking. Same thing happens here. None of this is believable, there are occasional "magical" explanations here and there (like that magical app) and so on.

BReakdown:

Story: 2/10. Completely nonsensical and illogical, pretty much as bad as it could get, but I saw two titles that were even worse, that's why it is not 1.

ARt: 6/10:
The art is actually well done - it is one of the more realistically drawn mangas.

Characters: 1/10:
All characters act in permanent idiot mode, none are believable, even though the author tried to employ some archetypes.

Enjoyment: 2/10:
It is quite bad.

Overall: 2/10.

Bottom line: Once again, like in rengoku no karma, we have horrible horribly written story with nice visuals. This title is best avoided, but might be worth checking out if you really hate people, including yourself. The nicely drawn art cannot not save this title.

The theme might resonante with young teens, though given themes touched they are likely not the target audience. For an adult this is likely to look like pure nonsense.

tl;dr: A psychological manga that’s dumb and interesting in the first half but dumb and boring in the second half. 

This manga has two pretty distinct halves. The first half is centered around a social survival game, wherein there isn’t really any fear of death or any physical danger for the most part, but a lot of psychological danger. While I suppose this is a psychological manga, it differs quite a bit from most psychological survival games, in that it’s not really a battle of wits, because the participants are all too dumb for it to be so. The game master isn’t perfect either, but does a decent enough job overall. Hence, the manga for the most part is a simple loop of the participants trying something, screwing up, and hence someone being dealt a terrible punishment. It wasn’t all that intelligent, but it was interesting enough in a social torture porn sort of way. The characters were interesting enough with crazy secrets. Still, just having crazy secrets and being dumb doesn’t make them deserving of what they got, so it’s not like these are satisfying for the most part. But on the other hand, it’s not like there were any characters that were likable or easy to get invested in either, so it was interesting enough to just watch it happen without feeling too bad. And in the end, it came together well enough, wherein the mystery turned out to be pretty simple but clear enough, and there weren’t really any major plot holes or inconsistencies that couldn’t be explained by the fact that the participants in the game were complete idiots. The second half was similar in that it was still trying to be a social survival game, but it was a mess. The game master just did things haphazardly so it just felt overtly random. It tried really hard to have some deep message regarding the relationship between teachers and students or something, but it failed at it badly and in the end it botched the overall storyline completely as it all seemed like nonsense. The characters were also still dumb but also weren’t as interesting. The pacing past the beginning of this half was also too slow and there were a lot of plot holes and things that simply don’t make sense to the point it feels like the author was changing where he wanted to go with things from chapter to chapter. Hence, while the first half certainly wasn’t a masterpiece it was solid enough for what it was, but the second felt like another attempt at doing the same thing but failing at it. The art throughout was okay.
