Synopsis

THE #1 JAPANESE HIT ABOUT KEEPING UP AND STAYING (BARELY) ALIVE IN A GIRL-EAT-GIRL WORLD
ARE YOU READY TO PLAY?
SQUID GAME MEETS MEAN GIRLS
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. Not even her mum is a fan,
ditching her in their micro-apartment to shack up with a sugar daddy.
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 sparkly food chain.
But one day, a new teacher dares to question the natural order with a simple instruction - and
unleashes a gladiatorial catfight for survival.
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. Let the games begin!
