MEAN GIRLS MEETS SQUID GAME ARE YOU READY TO PLAY? THE #1 JAPANESE HIT ABOUT KEEPING UP AND STAYING (BARELY) ALIVE 1. Please form pairs
2. You cannot pair with someone twice
3. Anyone without a partner will be executed

Mishin Mizushima isn't nearly cool enough by Japanese standards. Not even her mum is a fan, ditching her in their micro-apartment to shack up with a sugar daddy.

At school, towering alpha females move and think as a single, terrifyingly beautiful organism. The betas know to lay low. The rest grovel at the bottom of the sparkly food chain.

But one day, a new teacher dares to question the natural order with a simple instruction - and unleashes a gladiatorial catfight for survival.

Please Form Pairs is a candy-coated death game where every doll must play by three rules: keep up, be liked, and stay (barely) alive in a girl-eat-girl world.
