Synopsis

Students receive deadly game texts forcing horrific choices among classmates; Shouta and Koharu navigate survival.

On an ordinary day, Shouta Amano plans to confess his feelings to his classmate Koharu Saeki. However, their peaceful routine is shattered when every student in their class receives a mysterious text message about something called the "Friends-Eater Game." The cryptic messages assign each person a different status and provide disturbing instructions involving their classmates. While most students receive similar messages, Koharu's appears to be unique. As the unsettling nature of these messages becomes clear, Shouta and his classmates realize they're trapped in a deadly game where they must follow disturbing commands within strict time limits. The rules are simple but horrifying: obey the game's instructions, or face the consequences. Now, Shouta and his classmates must navigate this twisted game where friendships are tested and survival becomes the only priority. As the true nature of the Friends-Eater Game unfolds, they'll discover that some choices are impossible to make, and that trust might be the most dangerous weapon of all.
