The anime is based on the manga by Inagaki Riichirou (Dr. Stone, EyeShield, Chou Kochikame) and Ikegami Ryouichi (Crying Freeman, Heat, Lord). Inagaki and Ikegami started the manga in December 2020 in Shogakukan’s Big Comic Superior magazine, and Shogakukan published the manga’s first tankoubon volume in March 2021. The manga’s latest volume, nine, was released in April 2024.
The manga also inspired a live-action adaptation in Japan in July 2023, and the series will receive a live-action film in 2025.
The Trillion Game manga centers on the carefree Haru and the serious Gaku, two men who plot to earn a trillion dollars so that they can afford anything they might ever want.
