Manga 'Tomodachi Game' Ends Ten-Year Serialization

Mikoto Yamaguchi and Yuuki Satou's Tomodachi Game (Friends Games) manga ended in Bessatsu Shounen Magazine's September issue on Thursday. The issue, concluding the manga's over ten and a half-year serialization, featured it on the opening color page (pictured above).

A television anime produced by Okuruto Noboru aired in 12 episodes on NTV's AnichU programming block in Spring 2022. Crunchyroll streamed the anime with subtitles and later with an English dub.
Tomodachi Game was adapted into a four-episode drama series in April 2017, followed by an eight-episode series in July 2022. A two-part live-action movie premiered in Japan in June and September 2017.
Kodansha's K Manga platform simulpublishes it in English. The manga has also been published in multiple foreign languages, including Spanish and Polish.
Synopsis
Yuuichi Katagiri has battled financial hardships his whole life but has learned to stay content and positive thanks to his close circle of friends. To keep a promise he made to them, Yuuichi saves up enough money to join them on the school trip. But when the gathered money mysteriously goes missing, suspicion falls on two of Yuuichi's friends: Shiho Sawaragi and Makoto Shibe, who were in charge of collecting the payments. Although innocent, Shiho and Makoto take responsibility for the failure to protect the money when no one else comes forward.
A few days later, Yuuichi and his friends receive mysterious letters which trick each of them into meeting up. Upon arrival, they are ambushed and knocked unconscious. They wake up in a mysterious room in the presence of "Manabu-kun," a character from a controversial children's show that stopped airing due to its malicious content. He informs the group that one of them indirectly gathered them together in order to settle a large debt. They are to play a "friendship game": a series of games that will test the strength of their bond and trust in each other. As the group's faith wavers due to the growing number of secrets and betrayals, Yuuichi must figure out who of his "friends" he can actually trust and ultimately discover the identity of the traitor.
