Doubt

Doubt is a psychological thriller manga that centers on players of an online mobile game called "Rabbit Doubt." The game involves players trying to identify a "wolf" among them before the wolf can eliminate all the "rabbits." A group of Rabbit Doubt players decide to meet in person for the first time. After gathering at their meeting spot, they wake up trapped in an abandoned building with one of their members dead. The survivors must determine which person among them is the killer while trying to escape the building. As time passes, more deaths occur and suspicions mount between the remaining players. The story explores themes of trust, deception, and the gap between online and real-world identities. Through its tense narrative, Doubt examines how people behave when faced with life-or-death situations and uncertain loyalties.
