ARE YOU READY TO PLAY?
THE #1 JAPANESE HIT ABOUT KEEPING UP AND STAYING (BARELY) ALIVE
1. Please form pairs
2. You cannot pair with someone twice
3. Anyone without a partner will be executed
Mishin Mizushima isn't nearly cool enough by Japanese standards. Even her Mum has ditched Mishin for a new lover, leaving her alone in their tiny apartment.
At school, towering alpha females move and think as a single, terrifyingly beautiful organism. The betas know to lay low. The rest grovel at the bottom of the cut-throat food chain.
But one day, a new teacher questions the natural order with a simple instruction - and unleashes a gladiatorial catfight for survival.
Already a hit in Japan, Please Form Pairs is a candy-coated death game where every doll must play by three rules: keep up, be liked, and stay (barely) alive in a girl-eat-girl world.
