I'm Standing on a Million Lives

I'm Standing on a Million Lives is an action-fantasy TV anime adapted from the manga by Naoaki Yamakawa. Ordinary high schooler Yuusuke Yotsuya is suddenly transported to another world, where he and companions Iu Shindou and Kusue Hakozaki must survive brutal quests assigned by a mysterious Game Master. Blending high-stakes combat with raw human drama, the series explores what it truly means to fight for survival. Produced by Maho Film under the direction of Kumiko Habara, with series composition by Birte Baumgardt, this is a gripping isekai adventure that pushes its characters—and viewers—to the edge.

Yuusuke Yotsuya is a composed and analytical third-year middle school student whose world turns upside down when he is suddenly pulled into a mysterious alternate realm that operates much like a video game. There, he discovers that two of his classmates—Iu Shindou and Kusue Hakozaki—have already been drawn into this dangerous world and are carrying out perilous quests as players. Joining them as the third member of the party, Yuusuke brings a uniquely detached and calculating perspective to the group. Unlike most people, he approaches every situation—no matter how dire—with cold rationality, rarely letting emotion cloud his judgment. Together, the trio must navigate relentless monster attacks, unpredictable crises, and the cunning schemes of powerful adversaries lurking within this game-like world. What secrets does this strange realm hold, and what does it truly take to survive its challenges?
