SHIBOYUGI: Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table will premiere on January 7 with a 60-minute special. The anime is based on the MF Bunko J light novel series written by Yushi Ukai and illustrated by Nekometaru. Yen Press describes the synopsis of the books as such:
Yuki wakes up to find herself in an unfamiliar manor, wearing a maid uniform and lying on a luxurious bed. Soon, she discovers five more girls, all dressed the same as her. This is the Ghost House, and the only way they can survive is to make it through the traps that lie in wait-deadly games full of blowguns, buzz saws, locked rooms, and weapons. It’s a hopeless, terrifying situation for everyone there…well, everyone except Yuki. After all, this is her career at seventeen. Do you think that’s odd? She would agree. But that’s how some people are-they earn their living playing death games.
The light novel series debuted in November 2022 and will see the release of its ninth volume in Japan on January 23, 2026. There is a manga by Banzai Kotobuki Dai Enkai.
