Start Date: May 17, 2017 on NTV, airs Thursdays at 1:00 am for ten episodes
Through every episode the only characters have been the 21 Keya members in the show. All will probably have an important moment at least once in this ten episode drama so will list all of the members who are starring in the series. These screenshots list all of the characters along with their student number, these are from the final credits while Keya's tune "Eccentric" was playing.
Thought that may make it easier for you to keep track off, can always change it in future posts such as have all 21 names written in order and may do something special at the show's conclusion.
No cliffhanger to end off the previous show where the finale was #14 Miko(Neru) and #17 Yuzuki(Yurina) embracing in the school's pool. Miko had pulled a bit of a trick to see if Yuziki still had intense feelings for her and by diving in to save her which didn't need to be done she proved that she did.
Think this is the third night the students have been trapped in the school, it started out with 21 of them and along the way three have disappeared. Now the total is down to ten as the eighteen have split up, eight went to the art room at the beginning of the seventh episode and since then we haven't seen or heard a trace of them. As of now the girls are quite confused on what to do next, their teacher has gone missing from the gym plus there's no like challenge hanging over them.
Will say that the suspense level really dropped in the final three episodes, trying to make this appear interesting but it's not an easy thing to do. The students need to escape from the pool area and perhaps the school though they've been sitting around doing zilch. Student #13 Fuuka(Nanako) came up with a thought as she opened the storage closet and perhaps if they cleared all of the supplies out it could be an escape route.
That's what they did and for some reason it wasn't an enclosed room but had a secret passage. #21 Ayano(Risa) was chosen to go first which she reluctantly did with the other nine girls following her. Though they were on the third floor the exit from the passageway had brought them to the second floor even though we didn't see them take any stairs.
The herd start roaming the hallways and to their surprise down one of them stood the figure of #8 Hana(Fuyuka). She was one of the eight students who had gone to the art room, what's hard to believe is that none of them asked Hana what happened with the other girls. Also seems like her and Miko have some sort of secret between them as this meeting seemed to be somewhat planned(?), the confusion level really increases these last two episodes.
Hana with Miko brings the nine gals to the teachers's room which is also empty. That's another question, why haven't we seen one other student or teacher this whole time? As they entered the room once again a door mysteriously closes behind them and locks. They were expected as there's a laptop and camera set up in the room, the challenges are getting much more difficult as the amount of likes they need to be released is up to 50,000.
During these last two shows we see much more of the audience who has been following them since this 'game' first began. There's Miwa who is a housewife and has a six year old son Ken who also may be following their adventure. There's also a couple who are dating, Keiko and Yuuta and both are students. Another follower is Sugimura who is a director of a company, Madoka who is a secretary, a pair of teenage twins and a few other oddball types.
It was okay learning about them but they didn't add anything to the story as none of them seem to be connected to the girls. So now the challenge is to accumulate 50,000 likes and most of the girls are now so tired of this game. None of them are inspired and are just lazing about the room, it's been a long time since they've had a bite to eat and all are extremely bushed.
One student does get slightly inspired to attain the likes to leave the room and that was Yuzuki. For her stunt she tried an imitation of Ichiro which to me kind of bombed. But after so many hours of of watching the girls do nothing the audience seemed to enjoy her attempt to pass and for some reason she easily surpassed the 50,000 likes that she needed.
Yuzuki was a bit stunned that she was able to obtain the likes she needed but she wasn't jumping up and down with joy. Have a feeling she doesn't want to leave and roam the hallways by herself, though not an overly friendly person she does need to be surrounded by people. How the other girls did in their quest to get 50,000 likes is unknown as the episode ended on that note.
Finally is a good word, not that this has been a bad series but definitely a notch below the 'Tokuyama' drama which was such an enjoyable watch. Following this post is the recap for the tenth and final episode. Would recommend having some aspirin handy or at least a bottle(s) of some spirits as the ending is quite confusing and will for sure give you a headache at the minimum.
