The Human Massacre Games

In a society obsessed with constant competition, Haruto Oshima was a beacon of contrast, a diligent scholar who detested the relentless pursuit of success that seemed to trap everyone around him. His dream was a life brimming with triumph, exhilaration, and immense wealth, shared with his high school sweetheart, Kanna. Haruto poured his heart and soul into his studies, consistently excelling in exams and meticulously planning a future that would fulfill his aspirations. But fate had other plans. Just as they entered their final year of middle school, Kanna shattered his dreams by breaking up with him, casting him into a sea of profound sadness. The world then plunged into a pandemic known as Covid-19, further complicating Haruto's journey. After years of resilience, the world slowly recovered, yet Haruto Ogawa's path was forever altered. The pandemic had cost him five crucial years of education, compelling him to accept a mundane job as a mall counter attendant. This reality, far from the life he craved, plunged him into boredom and depression. As days turned into weeks, Haruto's discontent grew, reaching a breaking point when a grim incident occurred. Drawn into a game called "The Smiley Face Game," which promised millions in prize money, he unknowingly stepped into a sinister trap. Little did he know, this seemingly harmless game would spiral into a horrifying spectacle known as a "Human Massacre Game."
