Synopsis:

In the bustling metropolis of Shibuya, a series of disturbing murders known as "New Generation Madness" captivate public attention. Amidst this growing unease, Takumi Nishijou, a high school student with a penchant for virtual worlds and anime, exists largely detached from reality. His solitary existence is shattered when he encounters a graphic image online depicting a gruesome murder, only to witness the same scene unfold before him in the real world.

Plagued by unsettling visions and a persistent feeling of being observed, Takumi becomes entangled in the investigation, convinced that the killer specifically targets him. As he delves deeper into the "New Gen" murders, the lines between perception and reality blur, leaving him questioning his own sanity and struggling to discern truth from delusion in a city gripped by fear. The narrative explores themes of paranoia, identity, and the unsettling nature of online spaces bleeding into the physical world.
