An action-packed thriller and source of the hit Netflix drama where the only way to survive is to play the game!

Eighteen-year-old Ryohei Arisu is sick of his life. School sucks, his love life is a joke, and his future feels like impending doom. As he struggles to exist in a world that cant be bothered with him, Ryohei feels like everything would be better if he were anywhere else. When a strange fireworks show transports him and his friends to a parallel world, Ryohei thinks all his wishes have come true. But this new world isnt an empty paradise, its a vicious game. And the only way to survive is to play.

The first game starts with a bang, but Ryohei manages to beat the clock and save his friends. Its a short-lived victory, however, as they discover that winning only earns them a few days grace period. If they want to get home, theyre going to have to start playing a lot harder.
