Premise

[edit]

Yūichi Katagiri was taught the value of friendship when he was young, and it is thanks to his group of four friends that he is able to enjoy high school life today. When their class's school trip funds are stolen, the five are dragged into the mysterious Tomodachi Game as a result of someone's debt. The friendship of the five will be put to the ultimate test against the promise of wealth there.

It is also hinted that he has a dark and bloody past, confirmed to have killed at least three people; two of them revealed to be his adopted parents.

Because she had accidentally lost their class's trip funds, she earned the ire of her classmates and inadvertently paid the admission fee for their Tomodachi Game. Following her, Shibe and Kokorogi's release from the second round, she and Shibe are bullied by their classmates out of suspicion and hatred, leading up to her disappearance. She reappears again on the administrators' side as a hostage due to her father looking into the Tomodachi Game while discovering the two traitors in her group.

When he asks for money from his father, he winds up getting accused of murdering him and attempted sexual assault on Shiho while becoming a part of Yūichi, Tenji and Kokorogi's third round challenge to prove his innocence for stealing the class trip funds. Despite having his name cleared, Shibe inherits his father's debt and follows Yūichi in participating in the Adult Tomodachi Game. However he later learns that Yūichi was the reason his father earned the debt by using his money to pay Taizen to keep Yūichi behaving for the sake of a sickly Yuka who he has feeling for back in high school and turned him into the corrupted politician he currently is, which cause him to work with Kokorogi and Shinji and betray Yuichi.
