Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table revealed a trailer and visual for Yuki’s 44th game, Cloudy Beach at AnimeJapan 2026. The anime will be released in Japanese theaters for two weeks starting on July 10, 2026.
Studio DEEN animated the anime series that premiered in January 2026. Souta Ueno was the directorm Rintarou Ikeda was in charge of the series composition, and Eri Osada is handled the character designs. Chiyuki Miura voiced the main character Yuki.
The anime is based on the light novel series of the same title, written by Yushi Ukai with illustrations by Nekometaru. It has been serialized in Media Factory’s MF Bunko J imprint since November 2022. There is also a manga adaptation by Banzai Kotobuki Daienkai. Yen Press licensed the novel in English and they describe the story as follows:
Yuki wakes up to find herself in an unfamiliar manor, wearing a maid uniform and lying on a luxurious bed. Soon, she discovers five more girls, all dressed the same as her. This is the Ghost House, and the only way they can survive is to make it through the traps that lie in wait-deadly games full of blowguns, buzz saws, locked rooms, and weapons. It’s a hopeless, terrifying situation for everyone there…well, everyone except Yuki. After all, this is her career at seventeen. Do you think that’s odd? She would agree. But that’s how some people are-they earn their living playing death games.
