Tomodachi Game

SO IF YOU'RE NOT A FAN OF THE WORDS PEAK FICTION, GOAT, RAW, FIRE, CLICK OFF OF THE VIDEO CAUSE THOSE ARE GONNA COME UP LIKE 50 TIMES IN HERE MAN. I CAN'T HELP IT, THE WEIGHTS ARE OFF, ON SOME ROCK LEE STUFF THE WEIGHTS ARE OFF, I TOOK EM O- I THREW EM INTO INTO THE.

Okay having said that let's get into the Tomodachi Game review. I will review each piece of the manga separately so here we go.

1. Characters - 10/10

Listen bro, if the cast was only Yuuichi Katagiri and the rest were all stinkers I would STILL GIVE IT A 10 BECAUSE HE IS THAT GOOD because of his incredibly complex and interesting character that is quite like a coin in that it has 2 sides. But no, we also have many other greats and goats even like Shinomiya Kei and Tenji Mikasa who are so incredibly layered and have some of the most interesting motives and personalities in the ENTIRE MEDIUM. Man, the entire cast is so well put together that you might actually start to mistake this manga for real life if you read too much at once.

1. Plot - 10/10

Not only are all of the games very creative and give an amazing insight on the characters, the plot twists in this series are absolutely UNMATCHED, I genuinely cannot think of anything that comes anywhere near Tomodachi Game levels.

Like, bruh, my face when Shiba Taizen was the boss of Tomodachi Game was like WTF or when Shiba's son was the dude on Kamishiro's team

Like, you can tell all the plot strings were planned from chapter 1 and it makes it so satisfying and well written. Besides that, some individual character moments and scenes are absolutely kino goat. Take for example,

Kei Shinomiya's middle finger to Yutori before jumping off the cliff. It's just too raw

1. Setting - 10/10

As I said in the Plot section, all of the Games are very well done and have complex rules that are conveyed to the audience thoroughly. That's not all though, the actual visual parts of these Games are also very unique and paired with the lovely art goes extremely well with the setting. Take the courtroom aesthetic of Game 4 or the classroom aesthetic with the whole giant coin in the Kokkuri-san Game. The whole idea of "Friends or Money" is way more interesting than any other Death Game in my opinion.

Extra Section - Adaptations
Okay so, the adaptations of this manga are actually really good, the anime covers on average 2 chapters per episode and has really good voice acting and Yuuichi moments. I have only seen the live action series up to the end of Game 1 but it is surprisingly like a lot slower than the manga, it has 3 episodes cover the first game which honestly does wonders for the overall atmosphere of that Game, thought it was pretty COOL you know.

Overall, this series is honestly bordering on TOO GOOD. It goes leaps and bounds beyond most other media and is my favourite manga of all time and I doubt that to EVER change. I recommend this to every and anyone.
