Season 2 never came, but the manga is worth reading.
Tomodachi Game is a 2022 anime adaptation of the manga of the same name written and illustrated by Yuki Sato. It’s a psychological thriller with Squid Game vibes that will leave you in awe.
The series starts with a group of friends (hence the “tomodachi” part in the title, which means “friends” in Japanese), forced into a mysterious psychological game.
Someone stole the class money for the upcoming school trip, and to find out who the traitor is, the group of friends have to participate in the game that will test their friendship and reveal their darkest secrets.
Psycho Protagonist Makes Everything Better
If you love suspense, thrillers, psychopaths and detective elements, Tomodachi Game has a lot of pleasant surprises for you. It starts off rather mildly, but gets more and more unhinged as the story progresses.
The main protagonist, Yuuichi, is a Code Geass’ Lelouch and Death Note’s Light type of character. His intelligence, wits and ability of manipulation are unmatched, and you’ll find yourself mesmerized watching his clever plans set in motion. Tomodachi Game is a perfect show for someone who likes psychological games.
Although the series’ MyAnimeList score is rather high (7.72), Tomodachi Game didn’t generate much hype when it was airing, and we think it’s a mistake. This anime may not be the best thing you’ve ever watched, but it will surprise you with intricate plot twists and mysterious atmosphere.
Season 2 Is Hardly Coming, But There’s a Manga
The only bad news is, Season 2 was never announced, and fans highly doubt that it’s ever coming. And it’s upsetting because Season 1 ended on a major cliffhanger that makes you desperately want to find out what will happen next.
Fans think the anime adaptation was never meant to have a sequel and was made in order to promote the source material. It succeeded, so there was no need for Season 2.
The manga does deserve more attention. It started serialization back in 2013, and is still ongoing. However, it’s been recently announced that Volume 26 will be the last. It’ll come out in Fall 2024 and will be the finale of the series.
Although the Tomodachi Game anime is a pretty faithful adaptation, fans suggest reading the manga straight from the beginning even if you’ve finished Season 1 already. It’s an unforgettable experience, capable of shocking you with various twists and turns and completely fascinating you with its unmatched vibe.
It’s practically a crime how little people talk about the series.
