The first part of the Tasūketsu manga debuted in 2013 and ended in 2014. The second part of the Tasūketsu: FINAL KEQ manga debuted in 2015 and ended in 2017. Tasūketsu: Judgment Assizes, the third part of the manga, premiered on GANMA! in November 2017.
The manga’s story follows a group of five people in a world where people suddenly disappear. A mysterious self-proclaimed “Emperor” brings five people together through anonymous messages and asks them to participate in a game. Participants answer the question “Do you want to live or die?” The game has only one rule: “Most die.”
The manga previously inspired the anime short Tasūketsu: Judgment Assizes which was funded through the Campfire crowdfunding campaign in 2020. This anime short released in January 2021 and had a different cast from this new project.
