Kami-sama no Iu Toori

A manga where people are suddenly forced to play games of life or death with bizarre creatures in a battle to become the new god of the world.

A staple of the death game survival genre that became super popular in the 2000′s. These manga are all about pitting humans in horrible games similar to the SAW horror movies. It’s a gruesome genre where 90% of all characters die.

This title ran in Bessatsu Shonen magazine and was so popular that after it’s 5 volume run, they started a sequel series in Weekly Shonen Magazine that became a powerhouse. This original series is still pretty good and many of the characters here appear again in the sequel series.

Unfortunately this prequel is not officially licensed but you can read all of As the Gods Will: The Second Series available from Kodansha comics.
