Kamisama no Iutoori (神さまの言うとおり) Manga

Short Overview
Kamisama no Iutoori means "As God says" is a manga written by Kaneshiro Muneyuki and drawn by Fujimura Akeji. The main protagonists are Takahata Shun a bored high schooler, Amaya Takeru a mad dog and Akimoto Ichika. The story starts out suddenly when one of the teacher's head grow out a "Daruma" and with this would start Shun's trials. Along the way, he would meet Ichika and then Amaya who show up in a brutal way. Akimoto and Shun will face a lot of physical and emotional trial by "Kamimaru" the main antagonist who create a lot of weird children games and in order to survive they need to win the games. While Amaya would be smiling and happily particulate all of Kamimaru's games. (This manga is not recommended for kids ^_^)

Artwork
The artwork can be very gorily and brutal at times with head getting blown off or body get cut into half and etc (sorry won't post it here). Gore aside, what I like about the artwork are the games which the characters have encounter. It might looks like an innocent old Japanese children games that can turn so crazily violent!!

Don't be fool by this simple game ^_^

Overall
If you like how Gantz begins than I bet this is for you!! Shun and Amaya are like your ecstasy pills in this manga. Their crazy and risky action would excite you all the way until the manga end. In addition, especially in the case of Shun and Akimoto they would slowly shows their true inner self with each games they participate. 

PS: I would warn that the ending might be very WTF to some readers as there is no clear ending since the mangaka writes a new season with characters that do have connection with the 1st season characters. However, I do hope that he would one day connect both story as he continues to work on the story plot.
