{{Nihongo|'''''No Game No Life'''''|ノーゲーム・ノーライフ|Nōgēmu Nōraifu}} is a [[light novel]] series by Yuu Kamiya (a psedunoympseudonym of japanese-brazilian Thiago Furukawa). It is published under the MF Bunko J imprint with six novels released between April 25, 2012 and April 25, 2014. The author and his wife, Mashiro Hiiragi, adapted the novels into a [[manga]] series for ''[[Monthly Comic Alive]]'' in 2013. Later that year, an [[anime]] adaptation of ''No Game No Life'' by [[Madhouse]] was announced. It premiered on AT-X between April and July 2014, and was simulcast outside of Japan by Crunchyroll. The ''No Game No Life'' franchise was localized in North America by several companies: [[Seven Seas Entertainment]] licensed the manga, [[Sentai Filmworks]] the anime, and [[Yen Press]] the light novel series.
 
The series follows Sora and his younger step-sister Shiro, two [[hikikomori]] who make up the identity of Blank, an undefeated group of gamers. One day, they are challenged by the god of games to chess and are victorious. As a result, the god summons them to Disboard, a world which revolves around games. Intent on maintaining their reputation as the undefeated gamers, Sora and Shiro plan to conquer the sixteen ruling species and to usurp the title of god of games.

* [[Badass Boast]]: Though it's only in her mind, Shiro wields a sword and says with total confidence that chess, an incredibly complex game, it's no different than tic-tac-toe.
* [[Crapsack World]]: How Sora and Shiro see Earth. More exactly, they see it as a "bad game", with low rewards and constants [[Heads I Win, Tails You Lose]] moments.
* [[Facial Markings]]: Tet has a heart mark on his face. Considering he is a god, it's hard to tell if it's natural or he did it to himself.
* [[Fanservice]]: A lot of females bodies exposed here, specially Shiro.
* [[Gainax Bounce]]: In the episode 1 of the anime, one particular female avatar's breasts shake a little too much while squealing about "Blank".
* [[Loophole Abuse]]: You can cheat without breaking the Ten Pledges, as long you don't get caught.
* [[Older Than He Looks]]: Tet is supposed to be at least thousand of years old but looks and often acts like a child.
* [[Panty Shot]]: We do get to see Shiro's panties a lot.
* [[Urban Legends]]:
