Tomodachi Game

9 years ago

Since Liar Game is over, I needed a new psychological manga where people are forced to play bizarre games for money.

Tomodachi Game

Only 3 chapters so far, but pretty good. 

Katagiri Yuichi believes that friends are more important than money, but he also knows the hardships of not having enough funds. He works hard to save up in order to go on the high school trip, because he has promised his four best friends that they will all go together. However, after the class's money is all collected, it is stolen! Suspicion falls on two of Yuichi's friends, Sawaragi Shiho and Shibe Makoto.

Soon afterward, the five of them are kidnapped, and wake up in a strange room with a character from a short-lived anime. Apparently, one of them has entered them into a "friendship game" in order to take care of their massive debt. But who was it, and why did they have such a debt? Could they have stolen the money from class to pay for entry into the game? Katagiri and his best friends will have to succeed in psychological games that will test or destroy their faith in one another.

Neat. I'll have to start reading it. (Hopefully the ending isnt like Liar's game. :-/)

Ooh, I'll have to look into that one. For a moment I thought it was that DS game about Miis.

It's not really a 'game', it's more like an iPhone app you check throughout the day.

Then why do they expect me to pay so much money for it!?

Nintendo needs money, too.

What does "Tomodachi" mean? I've seen it in Nintendo games.

"Friends"

So, "Tomodachi life" means "Friends life"? Well, that does make a lot of sense...

So, I'm gonna guess that Police chick is the criminal for now, I think. Doesn't make sense for rich kid to do it (though maybe he isn't as rich as he claims?!), and glasses guy is way to obvious.

I thought it was "super-nice chick," tbh.  Like you said, glasses guy is way too obvious, rich guy is filling the comedy role, and police chick is a tsundere. Nice chick is defined purely by being sweet. Plus, hero sacrificed himself to save her in the first game.

Course, it's also totally possible that the mascot is lying, and none of them are in debt.

I hate manga under any circumstances. Is this one good?
