Spy X Family Episode 1 Review

Tomodachi Game follows the story of Katagiri Yuichi, a second-year high-school student whose family is distinctly recognized as financially unstable. Despite this, he is depicted as a relatively bright and easygoing young man who is especially loyal to his small group of friends. This is why Yuichi takes a delivery job to save up ¥70,000 to join them on next month's school trip. The series officially introduces Yuichi's group of friends early on: Makoto Shibe, the class president whose family is quite wealthy; Shiho Sawaragi, the vice class president, who is known to be dependable and meticulous; Tenji Mikasa, who is exceptionally intelligent; and Yutori Kokorogi, a sweet girl who has been the victim of bullying in the past.

Following this introduction, Sawaragi and Shibe announce to the class that the money (a sum of 2 million yen) has gone missing and promptly apologize, seeing as they are the ones who have been responsible for collecting the funds for the school trip.
