Get ready, Manga fans, because a captivating new TV show is about to make its debut. “Good Night World,” adapted from the original manga by Uru Okabe, is set to hit screens across the United States on October 12th, 2023. With a unique premise that explores the intersections of family dynamics, virtual realities, and hidden truths, this series promises to be an enthralling ride for viewers of all backgrounds. Originating from the imaginative pages of Ura Sunday and MangaONE by Shogakukan, “Good Night World” has been a celebrated manga series since 2016. Now, it’s ready to come to life on your Netflix screen. Let’s delve into the intriguing synopsis, characters, and what to expect from this highly anticipated series.
The synopsis:
“Good Night World” invites viewers into the lives of four members of the same fragmented family, each struggling with their own personal demons and conflicts. Despite being physically near each other, they remain emotionally distant, unable to connect as a family should.
It is a story about four members of the same broken family who find peace in a game called “Planet.” The catch is they don’t know about each other. As the story unfolds hidden things are discovered about each member and about the relation the virtual world has with reality and how they affect one another. It involves a shut-in older brother, a high-achieving younger brother, a father who is not respected by his own children, and a mother who neglects her own household. This is a broken family, and none of its members know that they are all players in an online game.
The theme songs for Good Night World will be performed by Kuzuha and Nornis, members of the popular VTuber group NIJISANJI!
