Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among anyone who remembers how big everything felt at sixteen and manga readers, this one's for you. It gets the awkwardness and the high stakes of being young. Same wavelength as Battle Royale or Monster. Made in the anime tradition: bold, emotional and willing to go dark.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 37 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

This is a continuation of Friends Games. Now the group of friends realises they have fallen into this game and they are in the second set of game, Kageguchi Sugoroku. Will Katagiri Yuichi find out who led them into this deceptive game between money and friends?
