The trio are at a train station when they see fireworks so blinding they have to cover their eyes, and when they open them they find themselves back in Karube's bar, which is now abandoned and all of the buildings covered in vegetation. However, many fans are enjoying the Japanese live-action series without realizing that the show is actually an equally-enthralling adaptation of an original manga series.

Chōta Segawa ( 勢川 張太, Segawa Chōta) / The Carpenter Voiced by: Tsubasa Yonaga [3] (Japanese); Greg Ayres [4] (English) Portrayed by: Yūki Morinaga A highschooler (IT technician in the Netflix series) and friend of Arisu and Karube. The third and last OVA episode was bundled with the limited edition of the 14th volume of the manga on February 18, 2015. They must run around a large apartment complex, not getting killed, trying to find the one unlocked door before 30 minutes is up.The first half is solid enough hook but it is really thanks to the second arc with the horse faced man with two machine guns chasing down everyone in a apartment complex in a brutal game of cat and mouse that elevates this series for me. You can’t give enough credit to Keiko Ogata for her casting the series–every actor she selected looks identical to Aso’s original ideas in the book. A low numbered card is supposed to be relatively simple to survive, such as a locked room mystery, a 10 card far more difficult. Arisu’s strength in the TV show was from his skills as a gamer, and although he has that background in the original story, Aso makes clear he has above-average attention to details, something like Shawn Spencer in the TV series Psych.

It is being published in a two-in-one volume edition, with the first volume published on March 15, 2022. The trio get drunk and play games together, but Karube becomes worried and urges the pair to take things seriously. When a strange fireworks show transports him and his friends to a parallel world, Ryohei thinks all his wishes have come true. This intersects with the last scene of season one of the streaming series, and the first episode of season 2. Over the course of that year, four volumes were released, each of which collect the equivalent of two Japanese volumes.After hanging out at a bar, Arisu and his best friends, Daikichi Karube and Chouta Segawa, wait for the first train to arrive in the morning.
