Story
A world far into the future.
Midorijima is an island located southwest of Japan’s mainland.
It was once a prosperous island where people and nature lived in harmony.
However, the island was bought by Toue Corporation, one of Japan’s wealthiest conglomerates, and a whole third of the island was transformed into an exclusive luxury resort known as Platinum Jail.
While attention was focused on the resort, the islanders fell victim to coercion and intimidation behind the scenes. They were aggregated into the Old Residential District, where they are forced to live in poverty.
The younger generation of the Old Residential District choose to either join a Ribsteez gang and fight in daily brawls over territory, or play in a virtual world via Rhyme, a popular online game.
Rumors spread among them:
“Gank incidents”
“Disappearances”
“Morphine”
Aoba, our protagonist, lives with his grandmother, Tae, while working part-time at Hum-Drum Junk in the Old Residential District.
All he ever wanted was to live a peaceful life.
However, strange events have begun transpiring in places beyond his fathoming—events that will inevitably shatter his tranquil days.
