The Tasuketsu manga series began serialization online on Comic Smart’s Ganma! website in September 2013. It is composed of three parts: the first part ran from 2013 to 2014, the second part titled Tasuketsu: FINAL KEQ ran from 2015 to 2017, and the third part Tasuketsu: Judgement Assizes, premiered in November 2017. The third part also inspired a 7-minute original video animation (OVA) adaptation. This was made possible through a crowdfunding campaign and directed by Rabbit Machine at Imagica Lab. It was released on January 2021.

Tasuketsu follows a group of five in a world where people have suddenly disappeared. A mysterious self-proclaimed “Emperor” gathers five people together through anonymous messages and has them participate in a game. Participants answer the question “Do you want to live or die?” The game has only one rule: “Majority dies.”
