A global phenomenon that redefined the boundaries of mature survival-horror manga, this series thrusts ordinary people into a brutal, high-stakes game of life and death. Following a tragic subway accident, high school students Kei Kurono and Masaru Kato find themselves mysteriously teleported to a Tokyo apartment.
