This is the story of a group of boys who try to save the world! As
boys, Kenji and his friends came up with a bunch of stories about an
evil organization bent on world destruction. As adults, someone is now
turning their fantasies into reality!
Humanity, having faced extinction at the end of the 20th century, would
not have entered the new millennium if it weren't for them. In 1969,
during their youth, they created a symbol. In 1997, as the coming
disaster slowly starts to unfold, that symbol returns. This is the story
of a group of boys who try to save the world.
The Friend, an enigmatic cult leader who plans to destroy the world,
declares, The cosmos has begun choosing those who are true friends.
Meanwhile, horrifying incidents are taking place: the emergence of a
mysterious virus, the revelations of a man on the run... Kenji tries to
find out who this Friend is, but the answer is still far ahead. The
footsteps of doom slowly creep closer and a shadow falls over the
city...
Yukiji remembers who came up with their group's enigmatic symbol: Otcho.
She also discovers that, nine years earlier, Otcho had been working in
Thailand but mysteriously vanished. Could Otcho be the mysterious
Friend? Also, a legendary detective is hot on the trail of the
Shikishima kidnappers, but the clues he uncovers lead him dangerously
close to the Friends cult. Is his life now in danger as well?
