Kei Kurono: an apathetic, self-centered teenager is on his way home when he crosses paths with Masaru Katou, an old childhood friend. When a homeless man accidentally falls onto the tracks of the subway, the pair risk their lives to help the man to the platform. But the pair are gruesomely killed by the express train and are transported to a condominium with other people who have recently died: a school teacher, a politician, a regular joe, two yakuza gang members and a mysterious young 8th-Grader named Nishi. Before long an attractive, naked girl (Kei Kishimoto) is teleported to the room and is almost the victim of rape from one of the yakuzas, before Katou stops them. Then music starts coming from the mysterious black ball... |
