Secret Vol. 1 Kindle & comiXology

When I picked up Secret I was expecting something similar to Judge or Doubt. Instead I was treated to a much different story.Unlike Judge or Doubt, which rely on characters trapped in a singular location playing a game, Secret is literally more open. These characters are not trapped in a single location, and while the characters are given an objective, there is no obvious game being played (at least not at first). Instead, the characters are tied together by a single, tragic accident that they are all survivors of. The story is told from various, switching view points and their recollections of the accident help develop the mystery of what really happened. All is not always clear, though. Some of these characters may be lying, or because of their state after the accident they may not have fully understood what they had seen. So what we, the reader, is being told may not be what actually happened. The fact that the story is being told by potentially unreliable narrators makes the mystery that much more intriguing, and the truths being uncovered that much more surprising.The art is simple, but expressive. The characters tend to have a fairly uniform look, especially among the males, but have distinctive enough qualities to make most of them easy to tell apart. The story is told smoothly, and the pages are uncluttered. 90% of the book is just people talking to each other, and yet nothing ever feels static or slow. It helps that the dialogue has a natural flow to it that keeps the pace up.Secrets is a very strong start to what could turn out to be a very interesting and entertaining series. I cannot wait for volume 2!

I'm so grateful to be able to finally finish the full set!!

Great

I agree with the other reviewer. This volume was awesome.The only downside is that I have to wait several months for volume two, which is pretty lame.I honestly wonder where they are in the Japanese releases in terms of chapters.

Oh my gosh, I love it. I love it. I love it. I couldn't look away for a minute. You have to read this if you're a manga lover.

Slow start but it isn't a bad read.

This story is so good it keeps you always thinking and so many twist and turns keep you always thinking, can't wait for the next book.

Was not expecting this. Dialogue is too simple, story seems flat.

Following in the footsteps of its predecessors Judge and Doubt, Secret explores the characters of whom survived a coach crashing. Three of them have committed the sin of murder which they want to keep hidden at all cost. Who or what threatens to reveal their sins but the one who is counselling them through their ordeals.The killers are given a week before their actions are revealed to the police, to what lengths will they go through to prevent this?

loved it. It's different than his previous work as the victims are not trapped in a building. It's quite interesting so far and I'm curious to read more. This is one of my favorite manga artist. He certainly knows how to entertain and keep you guessing on what is going on.
