Dead teens play supernatural dodgeball for their souls—Shibuya never looked this good dying.
"The World Ends With You" follows the story of Neku Sakuraba, an introverted teenager who finds himself trapped in something called "The Reapers' Game" in which him and his allies must complete daily tasks to avoid getting erased.

Every character drips harder than Shibuya 109.
Writing
Twist so nasty you'll pause to scream at your screen.
