PSYREN is a sci-fi action manga written by Toshiaki Iwashiro. It ran from 2008 to 2010 and has released a total of 16 manga volumes. It was serialized under Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump and was nominated three times for the “Manga We Want To See Animated” poll and was eventually placed 10th in the Manga We Want To See Animated 2024. The premise of the story is described as:
One day, high schooler Ageha Yoshina picks up a mysterious “red phone card” left behind in a public telephone booth. A few days later, his childhood friend and classmate, Sakurako Amamiya—who possessed the same card—suddenly vanishes without a trace. In search of her, Ageha finds himself drawn into the rumors surrounding a nationwide string of mysterious disappearances, said to be the work of a secret organization known only as “Psyren.” When he accesses the group, a deadly game begins—one that will change his fate forever.
Viz Media has licensed and is publishing the manga in English.
