Synopsis
Adjusting to a new school can be tough, especially when you have no interest in making friends, as is the case with Nobuaki Kanazawa. The reason behind his standoffish behavior becomes apparent when his entire class receives a text from an unknown sender calling themselves "The King." The message outlines the rules of the "King's Game," which all students are forced to participate in. Anyone who refuses, drops out, or fails to complete an order within 24 hours faces a lethal consequence. Having experienced this game before and witnessed the deaths of those around him, Nobuaki tries to warn his unsuspecting classmates. However, they only take him seriously after the King's Game claims its first victims. Trapped in a nightmarish scenario with no way out, Nobuaki must decide whether to prioritize his own survival or attempt to rescue his classmates—something he failed to do in the past.
