frame by frame with her cute 8mm camera, and carefully checking each
frame. But her shooting is interrupted by an obnoxious fly, resulting in an
unexpected accident. Will she be able to complete her project?

There was a dark city. A
rift forms in this
desolate, shapeless city.
When the street lamps
are lit, a world that only
children can enter, and
a game that only
children can play is
revealed beyond the
alley. The children
know of the “Otokoyosama's Game,” a game
played with four beings
known as “oni” (ogres);
they also know of the
secret game of
Kakurenbo (hide-andseek). A group of seven
boys decide to take
part in the game, lead
on by a mysterious girl.
As they discover the
truth behind the game,
one by one the children
disappear into the

In 2047, an unknown, alien
life-form, codenamed FOS,
attacks Earth, destroying the
world’s major cities in one fell
swoop. The survivors unite to
fight back, and three years
later they erect a world shield,
the Diffuser, to stop further
invasions. Now in 2053, a last,
desperate counterattack is
being mounted against the
FOS. Taishi Akejima, a soldier
in the Planetary Defense

nothing better than a shot at
the aliens responsible for his
father’s death six years ago.
However, the new offensive
requires a powerful weapon to
be deployed and the Diffuser
to be disabled, leaving the
entire planet terribly
vulnerable once more. Will
humanity regain the stars or
lose everything in the final,
ultimate gamble?
