The World Ends With You

15 year old boy Neku Sakuraba is confused to find himself sleeping in the middle of a busy road intersection in midday. All he has is a strange pin, a phone, and his memory of his name. Soon he learns that he is trapped in a small city called Shibuya, yet he racks his brain for an explanation.

He can't remember anything. People are ignoring him. Then strange creatures start to attack him.

Many pieces of the puzzle fall into place when he meets another girl who seems to know a lot more than he does. Neku learns from her that he is trapped as a Player in a Game. The more he listens to her, the more confused and terrified he gets.

But how will he react when he finds out the truth about why he's really there?

Neku soon finds himself in a dangerous position, battling off Reapers and monsters known as Noise. He is forced to put aside his anti-social nature and comes to terms with friendship and trust. Before he knows it, he is fighting a dangerous battle not just for himself, but for the people he once hated so.
