Cast comments
Minami Takayama as Manabu-kun
What is true friendship?
I am afraid that if a character who should not exist in the real world suddenly appears and tests me like this, I will be born in a way I can't even imagine!
I would like to play that character, Manabu-kun, so that you can feel how cute and scary he is.
You will be thrilled to find out what is a lie and what is the truth, and to hear the lines that come next.

■Rena Ueda as Maria Minase
Maria smiles more and more as the game gets more and more exciting.
It's a strange thing to see her smile, and it gives me a thrill to be recording the game.
Please pay attention to the drama that emerges from the human nature that is revealed in the thrill of the game!

Shizuka Ito as Tsukino
As a person on the management side, I will be monitoring, managing, and explaining Tomodachi's game from somewhere with Maria (and the viewers).
The Tomodachi Game is a whirlwind of various people's thoughts and feelings, and even the smallest of insights will lead to the unraveling of everything, so please pay close attention and don't miss a single detail!

The game will be held at AnimeJapan 2022.
