Synopsis

Yuuichi Katagiri has battled financial hardships his whole life but has learned to stay content and positive thanks to his close circle of friends. To keep a promise he made to them, Yuuichi saves up enough money to join them on the school trip. But when the gathered money mysteriously goes missing, suspicion falls on two of Yuuichi's friends: Shiho Sawaragi and Makoto Shibe, who were in charge of collecting the payments. Although innocent, Shiho and Makoto take responsibility for the failure to protect the money when no one else comes forward.

A few days later, Yuuichi and his friends receive mysterious letters which trick each of them into meeting up. Upon arrival, they are ambushed and knocked unconscious. They wake up in a mysterious room in the presence of "Manabu-kun," a character from a controversial children's show that stopped airing due to its malicious content. He informs the group that one of them indirectly gathered them together in order to settle a large debt. They are to play a "friendship game": a series of games that will test the strength of their bond and trust in each other. As the group's faith wavers due to the growing number of secrets and betrayals, Yuuichi must figure out who of his "friends" he can actually trust and ultimately discover the identity of the traitor.

The final chapter 127 was released today. I caught up with this a year or so ago and since then only about 8 chapters dropped (monthly release problems lol). Spoiler free review.

Overall: 8.5 / 10 (rounding it to 9)

The plot can be summarized like this: MC "calculates" everything 10 chapters ahead of everyone else. Light Yagami, Lelouch kind of vibes. Give it a read and keep in mind that the first 10 or so chapters will feel like "What the hell happened / How did they end up like this" but you will understand everything as you keep reading.

The ending was satisfying (for me). ...

The first 10 chapters are really good. All we know is that we have a group of friends, and the game organisers are trying to break up the friendship by showing doubts and offering money as a reward. Then there's a retcon I didn't really like regarding a certain character. The author repeats this throughout the story. What is established about a character gets thrown out in the next game, all for the sake of a subversion, a twist. Still, it's intriguing and entertaining, till chapter 50 or so, that is. Then the decline into absurdity begins.

There's only so much suspension of disbelief that ...

Preliminary (80/130 eps)
I started using this site recently, but I've been keeping my own manga list for a long time now for around a couple of years and when I was putting my scores in I was shocked to see this piece of dogshit of a manga have a rating of 8

This series... How to put it lightly, is the most trash, edgy, and braindead you can imagine a story like this. We are supposed to believe this MC is smart but the way they do this is just by dumbing down every single other fucking character to the point of reading the other characters do things ...
