The strategy game is about defeating your opponent with bombs and avoiding the attacks of others yourself. Ryōta belongs to one of the most successful teams. But one day he finds himself on a tropical island without knowing how he got there. Others also share his fate, such as B. 15-year-old Himiko ( ヒ ミ コ ), who is Ryōta's wife in the online game.
