Usually, I’m into survival games for the gruesome death and human cruelty in the face of extreme stress, but Battle Game in 5 Seconds is a little lower on that spectrum. Instead, it excels in showing a main character with more than two brains cells that knows how to rub them together when it comes to strategy.

The anime adapts all of Volume 7.
What to Expect From The Battle Game in 5 Seconds Manga?
The anime wraps up the first season with a few anime-only tidbits and a tease of the 4th Program. The Battle Game in 5 Seconds anime is a passable anime adaptation. It does change a few minor details, but nothing that would greatly change the story.
As such, you don’t need to read it from the beginning. Just be aware there may be moments where the anime and manga don’t quite line up in terms of details.

The Battle Game in 5 Seconds manga is still ongoing. Since launching in 2015, it usually releases at a three-volume per year pace.

Will There Be A Battle Game in 5 Seconds Season 2?
Unfortunately, there has been no official announcement of a Battle Game in 5 Seconds Season 2 anime.
As a long-time survival game anime/manga fan, I have the unfortunate knowledge that survival game series have a long tradition of being single season affairs. Who knows why, but you should not be optimistic.
