''Di[e]ce'' is a manga written and illustrated by Saki Otoh and Kana Yamamoto that ran from September 2007 to November 2010. It was serialized in the [[ShoujoDemographic shoujo]] magazine Monthly Comic Zero Sum. The main characters are ChildhoodFriends, Kazuki and Haruki, who are not related but look exactly alike, and have the same birthday. It turns out their destinies are entwined - in a really unpleasant way. They're both players in [[DeadlyGame death games]] modeled after chess called di[e]ce. Every player is a chess piece on the white side or the black side, and the objective is for the players to get out of various dangerous situations alive, before the time limit is up. This usually involves slaughtering a lot of zombies. Oh, and the games will only end when one of the kings is killed - and the kings can only be killed by each-other. The kings, of course, are Kazuki and Haruki.
