Nijūnin (二十人)

Haruto Asaki is an ordinary 18-year-old student whose life is destroyed after being falsely accused of murder. Sent to a maximum-security prison for a crime he never committed, he believes his nightmare has already begun. He is wrong. Soon, Haruto is selected along with nineteen dangerous criminals and transported to a mysterious island hidden from the world. There, a secret organization forces them into a deadly survival game broadcast live to anonymous viewers across the internet. The rules are simple: Twenty prisoners enter. Nineteen days. One death every day. One survivor. If nobody dies before midnight, the organization randomly chooses a contestant to be executed. Surrounded by killers, gang leaders, thieves, and psychopaths, Haruto must fight to stay alive despite having no special abilities, no combat training, and no experience with violence. As alliances form and betrayals spread across the island, he begins to uncover a terrifying truth behind the game. But among the twenty prisoners hides the real murderer who ruined Haruto's life. And neither of them knows that fate is pushing them toward an inevitable confrontation. In a world where death is mandatory and survival is everything, how far will a good person go to stay alive?Haruto Asaki is an ordinary 18-year-old student whose life is destroyed after being falsely accused of murder.
