Synopsis:

The narrative follows Yukiteru Amano, a quiet middle school student who meticulously documents his life on his phone. His solitary existence is punctuated by conversations with the enigmatic Deus Ex Machina and Mur Mur. His routine shifts dramatically when his phone begins displaying future events, initially as simple predictions. This ability leads him to Yuno Gasai, who possesses a similar, extraordinary device.

Together, they discover they are participants in a high-stakes competition orchestrated by Deus Ex Machina himself – a battle royale for godhood. Armed with their "Future Diaries," Yukiteru and Yuno must navigate treacherous circumstances and evade a relentless pursuer, forcing them to confront difficult choices as they compete for a power neither truly desires. The series explores themes of fate versus free will, and the complex nature of relationships forged under extreme pressure.
