Caligula
Ritsu Shikishima is your typical high school philosophy enthusiast, content to spend his days with friends debating big questions like what happiness actually is. That all changes when he picks up a distorted radio signal—someone calling for help. The voice belongs to μ, a massively popular idol whose music starts doing something weird to reality. People around Ritsu start glitching out, their faces warping before they transform into Digiheads, violent creatures designed to hunt down anyone who figures out what's really going on. Turns out they're all trapped inside a virtual world built by μ called Mobius. Now Ritsu has to find the other people who've woken up to the truth before they get wiped out. The group discovers they can tap into something called the Catharsis Effect—basically emotional powers and weapons—which they'll need to survive encounters with a shadowy organization called The Ostinato Musicians while they attempt their escape.
