While I have not read the Original novel by: Yukito Ayatsuji, I felt like I knew and understood what was going on and didn't feel like I was missing anything because I didn't read the original novel.
Within this first volume you learn enough about the characters and plot to be intrigued and interested. The cast is interesting and I like all of the characters (So far Agatha is my favorite) and their designs. I like how they all have nicknames based off of writers and am curious to see how much their chosen nicknames effect their personality and the plot. Another bonus is the art style is amazing its so. Overall this was a good read and I'm excited to continue. Would recommend for fans of mystery.

An adaptation of the best selling novel The Decagon House Murders by Yukito Ayatsuji! Absolutely stunning artwork, I seriously couldn’t get over it! The story revolves around a group of university students who are all part of the Mystery Club who all travel to a ten sided house on a remote island for holiday. The kick? This house is the location in which a grisly and unsolved mass murder occurred. The club is filled with students who are all using monikers of famous detective novelists and are here to vacation and possibly try and solve this unsolved murder... yet unknown to them a deadly game has just begun and they are all going to be picked off one by one. While this is all happening, previous club members (three) are sent a letter accusing them of murdering a girl who had died on the previous club’s trip... who just happens to be the daughter of the slaughtered family who died in the decagon house... and the letter was sent from the dead father. Now two mysteries are at play, and this definitely gives off an Agatha Christie “And Then There Were None” vibe. This was such a great first volume adaptation and you can bet I will be reading the rest of this series!
