Tomodachi game summary

Katagiri Yuuichi believes that friends are more important than money, but she also knows the difficulties of not having enough money. He’s trying to save up for the school trip because he’s promised his four best friends that they’ll all go together. However, after collecting all the money from the class, it gets stolen! Suspicion falls on two of Yuuichi’s friends, Sawaragi Shiho and Shibe Makoto.

Soon after, the five are kidnapped and wake up in a strange room with a character from an old anime. Apparently, one of them dragged her into a “friendly match” to pay off her huge debt. But who was he and why were they in such debt? Could they have stolen the money from the class to pay for entry into the game? Yuuichi and his best friends must thrive in psychological games that will test or destroy their belief in each other.
