From the all-too-real world to pure fantasy

The introduction to the story couldn't be clearer. We begin with the main character, Satoru Mikami, who presents himself as a simple office worker, with no passions and, above all, no girlfriend...

When he meets his younger brother, who has come to introduce him to his girlfriend, they find themselves in the path of a dangerous madman with a knife. Satoru manages to save his brother and his girlfriend... but is fatally stabbed in the back.
