Admitting my biases right away - I've loved Corpse Party since I watched PewDiePie play the PSP version when I was a young teen. I've played the game myself multiple times since then. And I'm slowly but surely reading through all the manga.
So, yeah, I loved this. There are things about Corpse Party that always make me cringe, but that's not manga exclusive (and honestly, the manga improves on some of the issues - thank god for less teen panty shots).
Yoshiki and Ayumi are my favorite characters, so I was pleased to see more of them in this chapter. Love the expansion on Yoshiki's unrequited feelings for Ayumi. (Although I don't love Ayumi's character design... I feel like she's too cutified.)
The deviations from the video game's story beats has made sense so far (and they've been fairly minor).
