今際の国のアリス RETRY
Ryouhei Arisu is twenty-six years old and has built a stable life. He works as a school guidance counselor and is married to Yuzuha Usagi, a mountaineer he met eight years earlier. When he learns that his wife is about to give birth to their first child, he rushes back to Tokyo to be with her.
A violent rainstorm hits while he is traveling, and a falling billboard crushes him. The near-death experience sends him back to the Borderland, the realm between life and death. There, survival depends on playing grueling and sometimes sadistic games.
Determined to return to his family, Arisu must find a way out. But as he learns how the games work, he realizes that escaping the Borderland again may not be as simple as it seems.
