Higashi no Eden

Synopsis: On November 22, 2010, Japan was hit by missile strikes, a terrorist act that, fortunately, did not harm anyone, becoming known as "second carelessness." Forgotten quickly, society continues to its lives normally.

During her graduation trip to America, three months later, college student Saki Mormi changed forever when she is saved from unexpected problems by Akira Takizawa. Takizawa is cheerful, but strange in many ways - he is naked and suffers from amnesia, believing he is a terrorist. In addition, it has a strange cell phone loaded with 8.2 billion yen in digital money.

Despite Takizawa's suspicious features, Saki quickly befriends the enigmatic young man. However, without her knowledge, this is the beginning of an exciting death game involving money, cell phones and the salvation of the world. Higashi no Eden narrates Saki's fight to unravel the mysteries behind his Savior, while Takizawa himself fights other individuals armed with similar cell phones and memories that reveal his possible connection to the event from months ago.
