Do you want to kill someone? Basically, when someone is murdered the police always assumes that the killer is related to the victim.
That's why, a popular trope was discovered where Let's say A kills the person B wants to kill and B kills the person A wants to kill. As the victim and murderer are unrelated so it becomes hard to identify the real culprit.
Anata no Ban Desu or Its Your Turn takes this trope to the next level.

The story follows Nana and Shota. A newly married couple who just shifted to a new house.
As Nana is 15 years older than Shota, she feels a bit weird when people criticise them for their age difference. However, this doesn't stop her from loving Shota unconditionally .
When she attended the first association meeting, the residents played a game. They wrote the name of the people they want to kill and then shuffled the chits.
It was a harmless game until...... people whose name were written started to die one by one.
I started watching this drama because of Tanaka Kei (actor who plays Shota).
Surprisingly, his character was really irritating at first (at least for me 🤣)
The makers tried to show Nana as the mature one but in this process Shota became a man child. However.... as the show progresses , it becomes clear that Shota is in fact not a man child.
He is strong and opinionated. As far as Nana, she is kind of the MC of this show. We follow the story through her pov. I can't discuss much about her characters without spoilers. But, all I have to say is that she is a smart and strong MC.
Highlight of the show is Shota and Nana's relation. They go through all ups and downs together.

Now let's get to the main point. The game.

Let me say it out loud , each and every character is crazy and has been pushed to their limits.
The side characters of this show are really awesome too.
Fuiji was the one who stood out to me most. He serves mostly as a comedic relief but has some dark moments too. He can be pretty creepy.
Then there's Mikiha ... everything about her screams danger. Kinoshita is a suspicious neighbour.
Sanae is a too good to be true neighbour. Jun is just there. There's also a Yakuza couple. Mr. Ukita... Akaike family and Sano.
One thing I have to say about Sano is that he is handsome (his actor I mean). And the drama reminds us of this every second. Whenever anyone talks about Sano they always start like.."He has a handsome face but.."
I doubted each and every one of the characters including Nana and Shota. The first 2 eps were a bit low but then the show picked its pace.
The final moments of the final episode were mindblowing. Never had I ever thought that the story would go on this direction.
This final episode sets up a long desired sequel. If it was ongoing then I would have lost my mind waiting for the 2nd season. Luckily for us, the 2nd season is already out and is known as Anata no Ban Desu Counterattack.
I will post the review of the 2nd season in next chapter.
