    Adaptationmanga

    Six girls wake to find themselves in maid outfits and confined in a trap-filled manor. Unimaginable riches await on the other side of this death game, but only if they make it out alive. With impending doom lurking around every corner, it’s a nightmare of terror and despair for everyone…with one exception. Yuki participates in death games for a living, and her ultimate goal isn’t mere survival—it’s to achieve an unprecedented 99-win streak!

    • 44:CLOUDY BEACH: After watching 44:CLOUDY BEACH, a manga chapter or volume beyond the film has not been confirmed. Manga volume 6 begins the Cloudy Beach story and overlaps with the film; it should not be treated as its sequel.
