The high-stakes game-themed anime was essentially adapted from Yamaguchi Mikoto’s Shounen weekly manga, which was mostly serialized in Bessatsu Shounen Magazine of the same name. Following the success of similar shows such as “Squid Game,” this psychological anime rose to become one of the most well-known in its genre. It received a 7.68 rating on MyAnimeList and a 7.5 rating on IMDB, which is quite significant.
The first season of this intriguing anime was handled by Studio Okuruto Noboru. The first episode aired on April 12, 2022, and the final episode aired on June 22, 2022, after 12 episodes were subtly released every Wednesday. A television drama adaptation and two live-action films based on the same already premiered in 2017. A new live-action television drama based on the manga, Tomodachi Game R4, was announced, which is scheduled to premiere on TV Asahi in Japan on July 23, 2022.
Tomodachi Game Season 2 Release Date
The anime is adapted from a manga that has plenty of sources if Studio Okuruto Noboru decides to produce the next thrilling season. Since the anime adaptation was as well-liked by fans as the manga, even though there is no official confirmation or set release date for the upcoming season, we anticipate the announcement to be made soon.
Chapter 26 of the Tomodachi Game manga marked the conclusion of the first season of the anime. The manga is still being published and written as we speak now. But after the Adult Tomodachi Game arc, it began its final arc.
The anime adaptation’s only drawback is that it didn’t significantly increase the manga’s sales, which could prove to be a barrier to the creation of the next season. However, the studio has not yet specifically announced any new projects, so that is something very positive and we can look forward to a particularly strong second season.

Tomodachi Game Season 2 Story
The plot of ‘Tomodachi Game,’ or ‘Friends Game,’ revolves around a group of five friends who are kidnapped and taken to participate in a game called “Tomodachi Game.” The name of the game comes from the fact that one of their friends owed 20 million yen, and to pay it back, they had to play several games in which their debt would either be decreased or, in some cases, increased.
What matters the most to you? Money in a big way? Or perhaps friendship, contrary to popular belief? Would you be willing to forego millions of yen to save your friends? Do you believe they would do the same? That is what the Tomodachi Games demonstrate. This is demonstrated by every game this season, each of which introduces a new variable while raising the same query. And it’s an amazing ride to watch.
The second season, which will adapt chapters 26 and onwards from the manga, is also expected to continue the more thrilling games in which the characters must make tough choices and move forward without regretting any of them.
