Eighteen-year-old Ryohei Arisu is sick of his life. School sucks, his love life is a joke, and his future weighs on him like impending doom. As he struggles to exist in a world that can’t be bothered with him, Ryohei feels like everything would be better if he were anywhere else. When a strange fireworks show transports him and his friends to a parallel world, Ryohei thinks all his wishes have come true. But this new world isn’t an empty paradise, it’s a vicious game. And the only way to survive is to play.
Life in the Borderland can be grim, although after completing two games Arisu feels like he might be getting a handle on how his new world works. But Chota and Shibuki’s visas are expiring soon, so the group doesn’t have time to be picky about the next game they play. And the arena they stumble upon provides a lesson in just how treacherous the rules in the Borderland can be.
