The South Korean series Squid Game streaming on Netflix has become a global sensation. Supported by enough buzz on social media, it has topped the recently most popular series list.
We enjoyed watching it and started to explore some similar content. What we came across is that there are multiple comics/mangas out there with similar storylines. We decided to list 6 such comics in case you wish to explore similar content.
1: Battle Royale
Its a Japanese manga with a very strong following. It’s centred around a very violent deathmatch where students from several schools compete against each other to survive. Loyalties get tested when they compete as they are not left with any options. Something similar to what happens in Squid Game when the participants are forced to compete against participants with whom they developed relationships.
2: Liar Game
In Liar Game, people have to compete using mental tactics instead of violence for financial gains. The participants are supposed to empty the bank balance of others in order to win. This one consists of least violence among this whole list.
3: Snowpiercer
Its a French graphic novel and went popular only after the sci-fi movie of same name. Its set in the aftermath of a climatic catastrophe that somehow covers the whole planet in snow. Some survivors are left and are huddled into a train as per their economic status. Within the train, the mysteries unfold and secrets start getting revealed.
4: Doubt
This manga got major limelight with the popular game Among Us as it is sort of a reinterpretation to the game. The same game is shown being played in the manga where the rabbits need to find a wolf among themselves. The thrill starts unpacking when rabbits start dying one by one.
5: Suicide Island
It takes place in the future where Japanese government is not able to accommodate all its suicidal patients. They decide to put all of them under harsh conditions on an island and leave it upto them if they wish to die there or somehow survive in the threatening situation. The patients are asked for their consent before being sent to the island and once they are on island, a suicidal game begins.

This one is a comic by Image Comics where the mysterious activity takes place in a boarding school where students and tortured under a supernatural phenomena. Six students among all decide to fight back but they have to engage within themselves along with balancing there academics. Theres a shady past behind the academy which uncovers slowly.
