Neku Sakuraba wakes up in the middle of Shibuya's scramble crossing with no memory of how he got there and strangers' thoughts leaking into his head. A stranger named Shiki Misaki explains the rules: they're both trapped in the Reapers' Game, and surviving means completing timed missions and fighting monsters called Noise with psychic powers drawn from the pins players wear. This short manga is a promotional tie-in to the original Nintendo DS game.
