Synopsis:

Hiiro Ryuugasaki’s ordinary morning takes an unexpected turn when he discovers a smartphone pre-loaded with the digital card game "Shadowverse" in his grandfather's storage shed. Initially pleased, Hiiro soon learns this device is connected to a darker reality. The phone's owner, Mimori Amamiya, has become the latest victim of Takuma Kibakura, a Shadowverse player known for forcefully taking phones after winning matches.

Driven by a desire to help his friend, Hiiro plunges into the competitive world of Shadowverse. He encounters a diverse cast of characters, including skilled players like Lucia Yonazuki, and navigates high-stakes battles where digital strategy meets real-world consequences. The series explores themes of online competition, digital ownership, and the blurred lines between virtual and tangible experiences within a vibrant, modern setting.
