AI Synopsis
AI · OriginalA naked amnesiac with a phone full of billions turns a college girl into Japan's reluctant savior.
When a phantom missile barrage rattles Japan on a quiet November day, the world barely notices. Three months later, college student Saki Morimi is on a graduation trip in the United States when she stumbles into a bizarre rescue: a naked, amnesiac young man named Akira Takazawa claims he’s a terrorist, yet he wields a sleek phone loaded with 8.2 billion yen of untraceable digital cash. Intrigued and bewildered, Saki pulls him into her life, only to discover that his memory loss is the tip of an elaborate, city‑wide game. Across Tokyo, twelve other “Selecoes” have received identical phones and the same impossible fortune, each tasked with reshaping Japan according to their twisted ideals. As the Selecoes unleash increasingly audacious schemes, Saki and Takazawa become unwilling participants in a high‑stakes cat‑and‑mouse chase. Takazawa’s fragmented recollections hint at a deeper link to the missile incident, while Saki’s determination to protect him forces her into the shadows of political intrigue, cyber‑warfare, and moral ambiguity. The series spirals between frantic action, cerebral puzzles, and moments of genuine human connection, asking whether a single individual can truly rewrite a nation’s destiny.
