Summary
A group of very different people wake up together in the sealed environment of an abandoned school building. They include the college students Yumi and Reiji, a cabaret girl named Akane, an occult-obsessed salaryman named Yukitoshi, a punk factory worker named Toshio, an unemployed pedophile named Taichi, and a 9-year-old girl named Michika. The building in which they find themselves has running water, no food, and a timer set for seven days. When they find a cleaver and a hot pot in an upstairs classroom, they begin to guess the intention behind their imprisonment; they're meant to kill and eat one another to survive. In principle, they should be able to survive just by waiting out the seven days in hunger, but nothing is ever that simple.














So, having binged this manga... It had a good start where a technical one-trick-pony was able to be amazing by applying knowledge, effort and imagination to turn a basic magic technique into the most versatile and powerful magical force conceivable. It even came to the point that within his barriers he was a god who could create a pocket of literal Heaven... Now, it just feels derivative and generic.
The MC's chaste wife seems to have changed for the worst; while hinted at being a special existence by her biological father, she is now some kind of reincarnated Angel? No explanation given as to the change... and now the Elder Super-Vamp Queen he turned into his familiar has become just an upstart youngster of her race. She was supposed to be the most knowledgeable and powerful of her kind which is why he encountered her first as she was the first to break her seal due to her formidable power and familiarity with the magic used on her and her kind... The long this series goes, the worst it gets... I mean; did the author just completely drop the plot about his previous country going to shit without him and how they desperately want him back? Ah well.
