Alice in Borderland Retry
今際の国のアリス RETRY
Synopsis
Guidance counselor Arisu dies in accident, awakens in deadly Borderland games, desperate to return to pregnant wife.
Twenty-six-year-old Ryouhei Arisu has built a quiet, fulfilling life as a school guidance counselor, married to Yuzuha Usagi—a passionate mountaineer he met years ago. When he learns that their family is about to grow, he hurries home to be with her. But a sudden, violent storm cuts his journey short. In the chaos, a devastating accident leaves him on the brink of death—and when he awakens, he finds himself in Borderland, a mysterious realm where survival hinges on completing a series of brutal, high-stakes games. Stripped of the life he knew, Arisu must navigate this perilous world, clinging to the hope of returning to the people he loves. Yet the deeper he ventures, the more he realizes that the rules of this place—and the path home—are far more complex than they first appear.
