He's the central character of the series, dealing with a deep desire to escape—to get away from his everyday life and find himself somewhere completely different. His best friends Chouta Segawa and Karube Daikichi share this same yearning for somewhere far away.
Everything changes when the three of them witness fireworks one night that practically blind them with light. In that moment of chaos, they're pulled into what looks like the same city they know, except it's empty and falling apart. After running into a mysterious woman, they stumble into a game venue without really understanding what's going on. The rules get explained to them quickly enough, and they jump into the games—but they have no idea these aren't just casual competitions. The games are deadly.
