Story
One day, high schooler Ageha Yoshina picks up a mysterious red phone card left behind in a public telephone booth. A few days later, his childhood friend and classmate Sakurako Amamiya — who possessed the same card — suddenly vanishes without a trace. Searching for her, Ageha becomes entangled in rumors surrounding a nationwide string of mysterious disappearances, said to be the work of a secret organization known only as “Psyren.” When he accesses the group, a deadly game begins — one that will change his fate forever.
Producer REMOW has confirmed that the anime will fully adapt the manga through its conclusion.
