Manga 'Darwin's Game' Ends in Two Chapters
Bessatsu Shounen Champion magazine announced on Saturday that FLIPFLOPs' Darwin's Game manga is ending in two chapters with chapter 125 in this year's November issue on October 12.
FLIPFLOPs began serializing the survival action manga in the Bessatsu Shounen Champion magazine in December 2012. Akita Shoten shipped the 28th volume on June 8 and will release the 29th on September 7. Darwin's Game has 9 million cumulative copies of its volumes in circulation.
An 11-episode television anime adaptation by animation studio Nexus aired in Winter 2020. Crunchyroll simulcast the anime with English subtitles and a dub. Aniplex of America licensed the series and released it on Blu-ray in March 2021.
Synopsis
High school student Kaname Sudou receives an invitation from a classmate to play Darwin's Game, a mobile game he has never heard of. However, as soon as he opens the application, a green snake suddenly pops out from his phone screen and bites his neck, leaving him unconscious. Waking up in the infirmary without any signs of a snake bite, he is told by the school to take the rest of the day off. Although he is puzzled by what has happened, he dismisses the surreal experience as a hallucination and boards the train home.
Unfortunately, his curiosity gets the better of him and he uses the application once again. As the application appears to be just like any other battle game, Kaname breathes out a sigh of relief and decides to start his first match. However, the pleasant surprise is short-lived, as his in-game opponent unexpectedly appears right in front of him and attempts to hunt him down with a knife.
As he desperately runs for his life, Kaname puts two and two together and realizes that Darwin's Game is not an ordinary game, but rather, it's a brutal fight for survival. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
