Well, this will be short for a very good reason that you will see at the "Overall" section.

Story: (9)
Although it's not the most original idea, the execution of basing it off the conception of the old game "Mafia" was credible. This is very similar too it's prequel, even though it takes place with completely different people, for completely different reasons, with a completely different setting with a change of the antagonist's cause and intent.

Art: (8)
I honestly think the art is anything spectacular, but I do like it still. It really has enough credibility to be good but I wouldn't say it's outstanding. I do like the character design but some just seem typical enough that you might feel like at least a quarter of them, you have seen before in another manga and/or anime.

Character: (9)
I do like the characters the author chose to create. The main character may be the typical, makes a huge regrettable mistake, and as far as I know maybe can't let it go. But after being put in a death game where you literally have no choice but to make a decision, he chooses the path of redemption and survival by mostly good means. His goal is to keep everyone alive even when it is nearly certain that at least one must be sacrificed.

A characteristic I love about this is that everyone in the beginning of this death game begins with a mask. A mask of an animal. The animal they have on reveals either their personality or sin...Or both.

Enjoyment: (9)
For the most part, Judge had me going. It's intense, it involves psychological situation that would definitely cause mental damage, it brings out the true human nature of an individual. But I'll get to why this ceases at the end of this review.

Overall: (9)
Okay here is what disappoints me the most. As you can see, I believe this Manga has so much potential. I just lost all the world's hope when I made it to the end of Chapter 16. THIS IS NOT...I REPEAT NOT A SPOILER. This Manga is a completed Manga that consists of apparently 32 chapters. Many Manga sites had the 32 chapters most likely a couple years in the past. But this entire Manga will cut2 off when you make it to the end of 16. This current day of 7/18/2013, I cannot find the next chapter on any Manga site, whether it be a pricey or free site. It seems half the Manga ceased to exist. So yeah. I am forever stuck on the wait of Chapter 17 until maybe the one day that the sites will somehow return the rest of the Manga. As far as I know this seems like a licensing issue. Oh well. Good luck future readers out there.
