Yuuichi Katagiri is confident that he and his group of friends will stay close, now and forever. He's even managed to save up enough money to go on the school trip with them, despite being dead broke all the time.However, his life takes an unexpected turn when he and his friends are subsequently kidnapped. They're told that one of them carries a debt suspiciously exact to the class's funds for the school trip—mysteriously stolen earlier—and that said debt has now been divided among them. To pay it off, they are made play the Tomodachi Game: a game where, to win, you must not doubt your friends.It should've been simple, but it doesn't take long before cracks begin to form. And then, worst of all, Yuuichi realizes there's a traitor in their group—one who seems determined to tear apart their friendship no matter what...Tomodachi Game ("Friendship Game") is a Psychological Thriller manga written by Mikoto Yamaguchi, illustrated by Yuuki Satou, and published by Kodansha.It received an anime adaptation by Okuruto Noboru, which began airing on April 2022.Unrelated to Tomodachi Life.Warning: Tomodachi Game is a series heavily dependent on twists and characters being more than they appear. Therefore, spoilers ahead are inevitable.

Cannot Keep a Secret: Shibe, which is how Yuuichi realizes that Tenji—who accuses Shibe of writing the first Kageuchi—is the traitor. After all, Tenji should know that Shibe couldn't be spilling anyone's secrets at this stage; not only would nobody dare to tell him their secrets for this reason, he would've already told everyone by now.

Defeat Means Friendship
 Tomodachi Game (Manga) / int_19769f50
comment
Defeat Means Friendship: While there are those who develop a grudge towards Group C, some of their enemies end up becoming allies in subsequent rounds. Notably, Kei who tags along out of personal interest towards Yuuichi, and Mishima and the Kaidou duo (better the enemy you know than the enemy you don't, and aligned interest). Particularly notable in Mishima's case, given that Kei had sliced off his finger, Yuuichi had threatened to murder him, and Satone had trounced him and took all his money, and yet he seemed to like them more because of this.

Poor Communication Kills: Much of Miyabe and Shibe's conflict could've been avoided if Miyabe had known that Shibe "abandoned" his mother not for personal greed, but so that he could pay off Miyabe's debt, as Shibe himself sheepishly acknowledges.

 Tomodachi Game (Manga) / int_3496b29a
comment
Heart Is an Awesome Power: In the All-Bet game, Yuuichi's worth is zero, meaning there's no apparent merit in selling him—in a game where you need to sell your team members for money. However, this allows him to freely and discreetly join and leave the room where the sold members stay, as he just sells and re-buys himself, which ends up being a key factor in his victory.

comment
Secret Test of Character: Yuuichi puts Tenji through one in the third round, seeing as how Tenji had betrayed everyone in the secound round, by not telling him his plan and seeing whether or not Tenji will choose to trust him anyway. As mntioned under Power of Trust, Tenji pulls a Determinator and does. In the first Adult Tomodachi Game, Miyabe puts Shibe through a test to see if he still has his humanity, unlike his father, and would choose protecting someone over money. He passes in a heartbeat.

 Tomodachi Game (Manga) / int_447d9e50
comment
Xanatos Speed Chess: Most of the games are this, especially as more opponents are added and new developments shake up the game. It's part of what makes Yuuichi scarily effective, as his opponents are often busy wondering about what so-and-so is secretly up to. In contrast, it simply doesn't matter to Yuuichi; only his immediate friends are officially safe. Otherwise, he promptly uses (and frequently disposes of) anyone and everyone, even if they might have benevolent intentions.

Break the Cutie
 Tomodachi Game (Manga) / int_4b316d47
comment
Break the Cutie: The game is very hard on the two most naive members of the group. Being Prone to Tears made the entire game difficult enough for Yutori, but in the second round, her Dark and Troubled Past is outed, and later, in one (illegitimate) round where either she or Yuuichi must offer themselves up for sequential torture, the guilt at constantly letting Yuuichi do it comes close to crushing her. Offer yourself up as a scapegoat during the second round because you think you have nothing to hide? Sorry, Shibe, it turns out that your dad's a scumbag and now all of your friends are going to alienate themselves from you! Oh, and now you're falsely being accused of murder. And then everything that happens to him after the second round gets so much worse.

A Friend in Need: In the first round, after believing that Shibe, Shiho, and Tenji have all chosen to betray the group, Yuuichi considers doing the same, before realizing that he can't, if only for the sake of Yutori, who considers him her only real friend. The fourth round is essentially about seeing how far the others are willing to go for one Makoto Shibe even after being given reasons to give up instead.

comment
Good All Along: Just as there are characters who hide underneath a friendly facade, there are those who are more altruistic than they appear. While he was an enemy in his debut round, Kei is revealed to have been working with Yuuichi all along in the next round he appears in, all the while keeping up the image of someone who hates Yuuichi for his past defeat. Despite being presented as The Mole, it's suggested that Shiho was merely framed and is in fact one of the good guys. "Good" is perhaps stretching it, but Miyabe's actions in the first Adult Tomodachi Game were to test Shibe, and so she was actually working with Yuuichi all along. Kaidou Tsukasa eventually reveals that he's working with the police to take down the Tomodachi Game.

Trauma Conga Line: Life is not kind to Shibe. As mentioned under Break the Cutie, he's the recipient of numerous nasty reveals (one of which was complete bullshit), and if you thought things would look up for him afterwards, nope. For petty reasons/reasons that aren't even his fault, he gets horribly bullied at school. At home, his father displays his full dickish colours and drops a bomb on him. Then, he wakes up to find himself covered in blood and his father dead, at which point he's promptly arrested and ushered in the next round of the game, where people accuse him of crimes he didn't commit like raping Shiho and his friends nearly abandon him. He comes this close to being left with an insurmountable debt that he could never hope to pay off, effectively sentencing him to hell—thankfully, Yuuichi pulls a Big Damn Heroes, and life finally stops kicking Shibe down (or at least stops kicking him in particular).

Establishing Character Moment
 Tomodachi Game (Manga) / int_7febc23b
comment
Establishing Character Moment In the main group, a single moment establishes each of the friends' personality: Shibe expresses joy over Yuuichi having saved enough for the trip, but mentions that his father could've covered it: Shibe's a friendly rich kid, but not entirely sensitive. Shiho chides Shibe for his insensitivity: she's tough with a strong sense of justice. Tenji defuses the situation, pointing out Shibe's nature: he's calm and diplomatic. Yutori, when asked, has nothing to add: she's quiet and shy. Group K, similarly, demonstrates the personalities of each member in go: Juuzou expresses sympathy over how Group C has only two people: he's a Gentle Giant. Chisato expresses disappointment over how Group C is all male: he's The Casanova. Kei gently scolds Chisato for his rudeness, albeit with a smile: he's a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing. Hyakutarou is pissed off and asks Group C if they wanna have a go: he's the Hot-Blooded one. Banri expresses contempt with a passive face: he's The Stoic.

Out-of-Character Moment
 Tomodachi Game (Manga) / int_8ca20b69
comment
Out-of-Character Moment: Usually used to suggest that something is up with a character. Yuuichi first believes that Shiho is the one with the debt, due her decision not to investigate into the matter despite her righteous personality. As she reveals to him, though, she actually thought it was Yuuichi, and she wanted to keep quiet as she's in love with him and thus didn't want to out him. Yuuichi rightly suspects the traitor's identity due to such a moment, as Tenji should normally be level-headed enough to realize that Shibe couldn't have written the Kageuchi.

Asshole Victim
 Tomodachi Game (Manga) / int_8ed5c6e4
comment
Asshole Victim: Non-fatal, but what makes Yuuichi A Lighter Shade of Black despite his extremely questionable behaviour is that many of his opponents deserve what he delivers unto them. To an extent, Taneda's fate was unfair, given that he's framed into looking like he was about to rape Miyabe... but up until that point, he'd been such a sleazy, misogynistic jerk that absolutely no one feels sorry for him. Kuroki is given a fitting Humiliation Conga for a defeat, after all the Kick the Dog moments he was responsible for. Kamishiro is dealt the harshest fate out of the Big Bad Ensemble in his debut round, as he's utterly humiliated by Group C and is knocked out and sold by Shinji, unlike Mishima and Kaidou who don't horribly mind teaming up with Yuuichi after their defeat, but also unlike the two who had a Hidden Heart of Gold, Kamishiro had no redeeming qualities to speak of.

Take a Third Option: When told to either abandon his ally and run away or to resign from the game, in which case his enemy will save his ally, Kei chooses neither and flings himself off the cliff to join Satone, hoping that this turn of events will serve as a clue to Yuuichi.

Celibate Hero: Yuuichi flat-out admits that he doesn't really know much about romance, and seems disinterested in it despite being a Chick Magnet. Tenji also seems to have had no interest all his life, stating that he's straight but that he also doesn't care for women—-and after the mess with Shiho, he's probably never going to.

Static Stun Gun: The main characters are knoked out by tasers for what is probably hours when they are kidnapped for the titular game. When one of those tasers appears prominently in a later arc, the effect is somewhat handwaved by claiming they are a special, much more powerfull then standard, model.

Was It All a Lie?
 Tomodachi Game (Manga) / int_b5619979
comment
Was It All a Lie?: Needless to say that the traitor deals with this. Yuuichi asks if they really felt nothing for their friends or, at least, the friends that aren't Shiho. Although Tenji initially affirms that yes, they were all just pawns he was using in his investigation, Yuuichi calls him out on the lie: while his perception of friendship is somewhat warped thanks to his past experience, Tenji did come to care for Yutori and Shibe in spite of himself. Similarly, Yuuichi's relieved to find that Tenji's original dependable personality wasn't a complete lie, as Tenji proves himself to be reliable in the third round. Shaken by the reveal that one of his friends was lying and hated him this entire time, Shibe is relieved when Shiho punches him by reflex, as it gives him hope that Shiho's personality up until then had been genuine, unlike Yutori's.

Yuuichi puts Tenji through one in the third round, seeing as how Tenji had betrayed everyone in the secound round, by not telling him his plan and seeing whether or not Tenji will choose to trust him anyway. As mntioned under Power of Trust, Tenji pulls a Determinator and does.

Anti-Hero: Yuuichi's undeniably one of the more heroic characters in the series, but that doesn't stop him from threatening bodily harm on people, at one point shoving Maria off a cliff (at a non-fatal height, and he knew someone would save her, but still), etc. He's also forcing Kokorogi to do...

Shibe comes off as a bit two-faced, seemingly saying/doing nice things just to look good. Though it's possible that this is partly biased due to Tenji's Jade-Colored Glasses, as Shibe is ultimately one of the most well-intentioned characters in the series, albeit horribly Innocently Insensitive.

True Companions: Double subverted for the main group. It doesn't take long at all for their friendship to start falling apart, but as time goes on and they learn more about one another, they (sans a certain member) find new reasons to trust each other for real and begin their friendship anew. Group K in "Friendship Hide-and-Seek" is initially presented as this. Yuuichi's plan involves changing that.

Being Prone to Tears made the entire game difficult enough for Yutori, but in the second round, her Dark and Troubled Past is outed, and later, in one (illegitimate) round where either she or Yuuichi must offer themselves up for sequential torture, the guilt at constantly letting Yuuichi do it comes close to crushing her.

Big Damn Heroes: Lampshaded in the "Friendship Hide-and-Seek" round, where Tenji points out that Yuuichi's timing of bringing him food and water was awfully convenient. Yuuichi admit to having gotten there earlier and staying quiet to observe the scene for a couple of minutes. Yuuichi plays it straight in the fourth round, where he arrives in the nick of time to overturn Shibe's sentence and get him acquitted. In the fake round set up by Kuroki, just as it seems Kuroki's about to kill Yuuichi in anger, Tsukino and the Tomodachi game administration enter the scene on time to arrest the former and save the latter. In the Friends' Murder round, Kei and Satone are unable to escape the zombies, but are saved in the nick of time by Yutori and Shinji. Though things only go From Bad to Worse there. When Yutori is about sic the zombies on Michiru and co., under suspicion that Kei might've told them something, Mishima and Shibe arrive on the scene. Unfortunately, it's then subverted when Subaru Gaku appears and reveals he works for Yutori, but double subverted when Shiho shows up to save them.

In the third round, Tenji has to literally bet his life on his faith towards Yuuichi, as he risks dying from dehydration if Yuuichi abandons him. Realizing that this game is his Last Stand regardless, Tenji chooses to place all of his hopes on him. Thankfully, it pays off and Yuuichi gives him his trust in return, in a moment that shakes Tenji to the core.
