Teaser visual:

The original manga was serialized in the publisher's Young Animal from 2015 to 2016, then compiled in four tankobon volumes. Its story follows 36 students who are suddenly hypnotized by their homeroom teacher. Making a phone call, shedding tears, taking a picture..., such acts they always do can cause death. There are a total of 100 signals to activate the hypnotic state to force them to commit suicide. The only way to solve the suggestion of death is the death of their classmates. As they are forced to kill themselves one after another, their human nature is gradually uncovered because of the fear of death, and it eventually turns into a fierce death game for survival. Which will come first, getting them out of the hypnosis or killing all other classmates?
