At the end of the 20th century, humanity stood on the brink of extinction. The only reason the world survived was because of a group of ordinary boys who once dreamed of saving it.

When Childhood Fantasies Become Reality

In 1969, a group of friends created a symbol as part of a childhood game—an imaginary story about heroes, villains, and the end of the world. Decades later, that symbol returns as a terrifying reality.

The cult leader known as Friend is executing his final plan to wipe out humanity, following the prophecy the boys unknowingly wrote years before. As the man who survived Bloody New Year’s Eve returns to Tokyo, the scattered friends reunite one by one, racing toward an inevitable final confrontation.

Every secret uncovered brings them closer to the truth—and to the ultimate battle for the future of the world.
