Chaser Game (manga)

Chaser Game (チェイサーゲーム) is a Japanese manga series written by Hiroshi Matsuyama and illustrated by Matsushima Yukitaro.

The series draws from Matsuyama's own experience working at CyberConnect2 as the story follows its protagonist Tatsuya Shindo, a game designer who is promoted to a senior position at CyberConnect2 and learns to deal with his new responsibilities.

[1] Written by Hiroshi Matsuyama and illustrated by Matsushima Yukitaro, Chaser Game was released online via Famitsu from December 18, 2018, to November 1, 2021.

It premiered on TV Tokyo's Thursday Drama 24 slot from September 9, 2022, to October 28, 2022.

Frank Hecker, a staff writer at Okazu, gave the series an overall 7 out of 10, praising the performances of its lead actors, "Nakamura Yurika does an excellent job portraying Fuyu’s transition from office terror to a woman approaching her breaking point, while former idol Sugai Yūka acquits herself well in the less demanding role of Itsuki", while finding the show's epilogue "a bit rushed and hand-wavy".
