6 Lying University Students

It’s job hunting season and six high-achieving university students make it to the final round of recruitment for the elite tech company, Spirallinks. With over 10,000 competitors behind them, the tension is palpable in the conference room where the finalists receive their last task—a group discussion where they will debate an issue facing the company. From rivals to teammates, the young hopefuls band together and create a study group to prepare for the challenge that will determine their career’s fate. However, an unexpected twist in the hiring process threatens the alliances formed, as dirty secrets are exposed and the students stop at nothing to achieve their final goal—getting hired.

True to form, director SATO Yuichi’s (City Hunter) latest work heavily leans into his signature closed-room storytelling style. Based on AKINARI Asakura’s wildly popular novel of the same name, Six Lying University Students delivers a high-pressure, suspense-driven drama fraught with manipulation, deceit and a good dose of scandal.
