Aso, Haro

Feeling unsettled about the future, high school student Ryouhei Arisu often escapes the reality of life. After hanging out at a bar, Arisu and his best friends, Daikichi Karube and Chouta Segawa, wait for the first train to arrive in the morning. Suddenly, a colorful array of fireworks set off in the sky, and an enormous blinding firework renders them unconscious.

The trio finds themselves back at the bar covered in dust, discovering that the city has become a barren wasteland. But instead of being worried, Arisu feels alive for the very first time in his life and relishes the freedom of this lifeless city. However, his bliss is cut short when the group rashly enters a festival venue. Seeing its delicacies and lively ambiance, they think the place is a dream; unbeknownst to them, it will be the setting for their first deadly game.

Together with his friends, Arisu slowly enters the mysterious area known as the Borderland—an unknown country where every game puts their lives at stake, and a single misstep can lead to their demise.

Alice in Borderland

今際の国のアリス

Tamura, Yumi

Natsu Iwashimizu's last memory of her family is eating her favorite meals with them. Unfortunately, she wakes up from her dream only to find herself in a sinking ship, being rescued by three strangers: Arashi Aota, whose kind-hearted personality does not match his quick temper; Semimaru Asai, who enjoys ridiculing Natsu's meek nature; and Botan Saotome, a skillful woman seemingly aware of their situation. Following the four's successful escape, they sail to a deserted island.

Unbeknownst to them, the mysterious island is Japan. After a meteorite landed on Earth, humanity was wiped out and the environment changed drastically. To repopulate the country, the government initiated the "7 Seeds" project, consisting of five groups—Spring, Summer A, Summer B, Autumn, and Winter—each with seven young healthy individuals and a guide. Natsu and the others were put into team Summer B, whose members are considered failures by society.

To get more supplies, the group must find one of the seven shelters built by the government. In a hostile, unfamiliar world with no loved ones to depend on, the quartet must learn to cooperate with each other to ensure their survival.

7 Seeds

7SEEDS

Lee, Yeon

Sighs of awe follow Eun Chaerin wherever she goes, as expected for the perfect protagonist of a run-of-the-mill romance novel. She was once the novel's reader in the real world, and now she has the opportunity to live it herself and have her storybook ending with the male lead, Yu Jeha. But everything goes south on the day Jeha is supposed to confess his feelings, for he turns into a disfigured zombie and bites Chaerin.

Instead of dying, Chaerin is forced to relive the same day, trapped in the loop of a bizarre zombie outbreak, unable to save Jeha. She desperately clings to him, as he is the only person she can see—all the background characters appear as nothing more than dark silhouettes to her. After almost four hundred repetitions, something unprecedented happens: a formless classmate pulls Chaerin to safety, and she catches a glimpse of their true appearance before dying again.

The possibility of unlocking and revealing the extra characters fills Chaerin with new vigor. If she forgets about saving Jeha and focuses on finding this unknown extra in her next regression, she may be able to reach her happy ending after all.

It is no coincidence that Megurigaoka Private High School is a second home for Yuki Takeya and the rest of the School Living Club. The club has only one mission: to spend day and night on campus promoting independence and engaging in a wide variety of school activities. Between Yuuri Wakasa's composure, Kurumi Ebisuzawa's dependability, Yuki Takeya's initiative, and their teacher Megumi Sakura's support, the club should have everything under control—in theory, that is.

As it turns out, living at school has its fair share of challenges. In order to make it to graduation and beyond, the members of the School Living Club must overcome their day-to-day troubles while making the most of their school lives.

A man with no memories awakens on the shore of a desolate island with only a washed-up mailbox next to him. Soon enough, he stumbles upon an odd bed and breakfast, run by an even stranger family.

The family makes no effort to conceal their home's sinister air as they taunt him and make him question his sanity.

Fearing for his life, the man steels himself to survive. As the family's hair-raising secrets slowly pile up, he grasps at his forgotten memories, haunted by dreams of unnaturally large pigs and a child that does not exist. The island's horrors close in, and the man is left with a desperate goal to uncover the truth behind his arrival and escape this cursed place before he loses his mind—or his life—to the creeping dread.

However, his bravery is short-lived, and he escapes into the woods, with an enraged Seongbin close behind him.

Back at the camp, the class' talent show turns sinister. Something unnatural creeps in from the shadows, and as people begin transforming into twisted, bloodthirsty monsters, it seems that only Gyuhwan's mysterious shotgun can truly finish them off.
