Aired in 2022, Tomodachi Game tells us a story of five friends forced to participate in a game. This is a story about friendship, which sounds cheerful at first, but don’t let it fool you: Tomodachi Game is not a lighthearted experience. The fact that fans say the show has Squid Game and Kakegurui vibes can tell you a lot.
Five friends get dragged into the Tomodachi Game (or friends’ game) as a result of someone stealing the school trip money due to their debt. This mysterious psychological thriller puts this friendship to test and questions their bond. The main character, Yuichi, is eager to find out who the debt traitor is and bring the creator of the game down, so that no one will have to experience it ever again.
Charismatic characters and mind-bending plot twists made the fans really invested in the story and eager to see more. The show ending on a cliffhanger only adds to their desire to learn what will happen next.
Unfortunately, for now there’s no information about Season 2, and the status of the anime is ‘dead’. Fans speculate that the reason for this is that the series didn’t get enough hype, and judging by the lack of fandom content and heated discussions, they are right. Another possible reason is the anime being used to promote the manga, which is the primary source of the author’s income. We would not suggest getting your hopes up for ever seeing Season 2. Still, anything can happen: Black Butler is having a new arc animated after a 6-year hiatus, but still, let’s not forget that Black Butler used to be much more popular than Tomodachi Game ever was.
Nevertheless, fans are not pessimistic and they highly suggest reading the manga instead of waiting pointlessly for Season 2 of the anime. They say the manga has better quality and is more fulfilling as it goes deeper into all of the brought up issues and questions of the series.
Speaking of the manga, some fans also add that after the events of Season 1 the manga gets really messed up, so the studio responsible for the Tomodachi Game anime, Okuruto Noboru, might be struggling with figuring out the way to adapt the story due to the fear of it being too controversial and risky.
With that being said, reading the manga seems like the perfect way to satisfy your curiosity after the ending of the first season, as we can’t say for sure that there will ever be a sequel to the anime.
Should we ever hope to see Season 2 of the anime?
