This manga is a psychological survival, where the students are put into a "game" and are to vote to kill someone else who is involved in the group of strangers.

The psychological aspect of this game is that the players must deceive the other or work together to survive. The constant struggle of survival is a recurrent theme as everyone involved in this game has a reason to escape and complete what they must in the real world. Will the characters let go of their morality? or will they do what ever it takes to survive.

The STORY (9) has an excellent plot as it works at a psychological aspect. It is a survival-game type setting with suspense throughout. A great mix of plot twists here and there makes you always aware and on your toes because you'll never know what will happen next. The story has it's similarities in the psychological aspect to Doubt (the prequel to Judge), but has different twists and is more psychological in the way that inorder to survive, you must let go of your morality.

The ART (8) is nicely done and is very similar to Doubt. The artstyle also does a nice job of portraying suspense and shock throughout the manga.

The Characters (7) are very generic and there are no "out there" characters. You have your normal moral protagonist, you're main protagonist's buddy, a strategic older character, a hot head, a slut, an insecure geek, quiet useless female #1 and #2. Eventually the tension between these character get higher and higher as it gets harder to trust the people you're around as you can easily be backstabbed.

The overall ENJOYMENT (9) of this would have to be very high. If you are into psychological-killing-survival type of manga, and if you enjoyed Doubt, this will be a great read. I often find myself saying "oh s***" a lot while reading these because the plot twists are great and always keep you on your feet.

OVERALL (8) it's a great read and if you enjoy something that keeps you on your feet, with the psychological horror aspect. I would give this a (9), but I cannot truly judge anything truly without an ending. I have currently read up to chapter 17, and sadly Judge is being updated very slowly. The manga has huge a lot more in store.
