Each chapter focusses around some kind of logic or mathematics puzzle, which the characters solve using each of their specific skills (Academic knowledge, memory, athletics, thinking out of the box), with the consequences of not doing so being various forms of death in the reality-defying world they found themselves in.

While I mainly skimmed through the lengthy explanations, the story was engaging enough to make me buy the next four volumes wherever I could find them.

Despite its apparent younger demographic, it dips into some very mature themes, and maintained a solid story throughout, although various plot points seemed very disjointed without the explanation at the very ... end. The characters are charming, and each game is creative in both setting and in the way the characters finish them.

Its ending was satisfying, and in my opinion, the story ended at the perfect place, even if it was only 22 chapters in total.

If you ever get the chance to buy a physical copy (Or if scans are uploaded at some point in the future), and want some challenging puzzles to spend some time pondering over before continuing to read, I would recommend reading this manga.
