About the series
In this taut psychological thriller from Kadokawa, high school loner Yukiteru Amano discovers his phone can predict the future, only to be thrust into a deadly battle royale where 12 "Future Diary" holders must kill each other to become a god. Written and illustrated by Esuno Sakae across its 12-issue run (2006–2011), Mirai Nikki masterfully blends survival horror, twisted romance, and time-manipulation intrigue into a cult-classic manga that redefined the death game genre. Its tense, character-driven narrative and iconic yandere antagonist have made it a touchstone for fans of dark, high-stakes storytelling.
