For those of you who aren’t familiar with the manga, here’s the gist of the plot :-
The story follows a jobless teenager named Arisu ( Japanese pronunciation of Alice ) who does nothing all day instead of playing games. With his friends Segawa and Karube, the trio decides to visit the city to have fun and gets into a trouble with the police. They hide from the cops somewhere, only to return afterwards into a now empty Tokyo.
They are dumbfounded to see that no one is around in the city except of them three and no one has any idea what’s going on in this deserted world. At night they find out that they have been transported into a different world where in order to survive and get out, they have to compete in games which very well ensures that either you’ll live or you’ll die.
Arisu and his friends meet several other people who are stuck in this world and are looking for their way out by navigating the games alone. When things start to get serious, Arisu believes that there has to be a game master who is controlling everything which has been happening. He makes sure to find out who the ‘Game Master’ is and end this!
