In this article, we will learn about the Tomodachi Game Episode 2 release date and also look into the events that occurred in Episode 1.
Tomodachi Game series tell about Yuuichi Katagiri facing financial hardship his entire life, but thanks to his close friends, he stays content and optimistic. He saves up enough money to go on the school trip to keep his promise to his friends. In the meantime, the gathered money mysteriously disappears, and suspicion falls upon two of Yuuichi’s friends, Shiho Sawaragi and Makoto Shibe, who were responsible for collecting the payments. Despite being innocent, Shiho and Makoto assume responsibility for losing the money when no one else does.
In the days following, Yuuichi and his friends receive mysterious letters tricking them into meeting up. Upon arriving, they are ambushed and knocked unconscious. A mysterious character named Manabu-Kun appears in a mysterious room with them. During the friendship game, Yuuichi explains that one of the group members gathered them together to settle a large debt. The group is to play a series of games to test their trust and bond.
As the group’s faith wanes due to several secrets and betrayals, Yuuichi must figure out which of his “friends” he really can trust and ultimately discover who the traitor is.
Tomodachi Game Episode 1 Recap
Yuuichi is a penniless high school student who works as a part-time newspaper distributor and is introduced in the premiere Episode entitled “Yuuichi-Kun Suspects His Friends”. He is suffering from a financial crisis, as he needs 70,000 yen to pay off a school trip.
His friends were Tenji Misaka, Shibe Makoto, Sawaragi Shiho, and Kokorogi Yutori. While Shibe and Sawaragi apologize to the class for losing the two million yen fund, they cannot convince everyone with their excuses. Days later, neither Shibe nor Sawaragi showed up to class, much to the dismay of Yuuichi, Tenji, and Kokorogi.
Sawaragi writes to Yuuichi one night, inviting him to meet her at school. Surprisingly, all Yuuichi’s friends gather outside the school gate asking about the letter, much to the latter’s dismay. According to the story, the group is knocked unconscious before they have a chance to discuss the incident. “Manabu-Kun,” a child mascot, says that the group has been assigned a debt of 20 million yen, which has to be repaid by playing a series of games known as the “Tomodachi Game.”
One of them is the traitor who originally owes the 20 million yen debt, and they were deliberately led into this absurd situation by the traitor to save their self-interest. According to the mechanics, the debt is shared among the five of them, with each repaying 4 million yen. Yuuichi’s strong determination and concern for his friends’ safety bring the group together in the end, and they agree to play the game.

Manabu-Kun decides to explain the rules of the first game, Kokkuri-san, by explaining that everyone must agree on a simple Yes or No answer to solve the game.
No one is allowed to examine anyone’s debt embedded in the back of their nameplate, but they are permitted to speak about it. The second most important rule is that there is no talking between games, as only the person who reads the question is allowed to do so.
After failing to provide the correct answer to the most basic questions, the group starts to suspect one another. The moment Yuuichi is called upon to read the rules, he is shocked to discover what is at the heart of the game. If they answer correctly, he will be able to clear the game. If they get it wrong, he will have his 4 million yen debt quickly halved.
With the First Episode ends on a cliffhanger as Yuuichi breaks the no-speaking rule, what is most important to him, posing the question, “Is money more important than friends?”.
