Synopsis

Continues the story of ChäoS;HEAd

In Shibuya, a series of murders known as the "New Generation Madness" are generating growing local buzz due to their notoriety. Nonetheless, these "New Gen" killings barely impact Takumi Nishijou, a high school otaku prone to delusions and a persistent sense of being watched by unseen eyes. Apathetic toward the outside world, Takumi spends his time on online games and anime. His routine is abruptly disrupted when he receives a graphic image of a man impaled on a wall from a user named Shogun. After recovering his composure at an internet café, Takumi unexpectedly encounters the very crime scene from the image, along with a blood-splattered pink-haired girl calling out to him. As Takumi struggles with the boundaries of reality, he finds himself increasingly entangled in the "New Gen" murders, believing the perpetrator is targeting him.
