Synopsis
In "The Future Diary," Yukiteru Amano is a reserved middle school student who documents every detail of his daily life in a digital diary on his phone. Feeling like an outsider at school, he often talks to his imaginary friends—Deus Ex Machina, the god of time and space, and Mur Mur, Deus' assistant. One day, Yukiteru notices his phone starting to predict events that will happen in the future. At first, he thinks it's just a coincidence, but he soon realizes the predictions are coming true. As he begins using this power, he discovers that his classmate Yuno Gasai also has a similar device. Together, they manage to escape from a mysterious pursuer and return home. There, Deus Ex Machina tells them that they—along with ten others—are now participants in a deadly game. The winner will become Deus Ex Machina's successor. With no other choice, Yukiteru and Yuno must rely on their "Future Diaries" to survive and win the brutal competition.
