[Story]
A deadly werewolf game. Participants are gathered over the Internet or by kidnapping, with wealthy gamblers betting illegally on who will be the winner. Masamune (Yuki Ogoe ) works as one of the game’s operators, but he is distressed to see that the participants include Yuzuki Natsume (Momoka), a high school girl whom he used to tutor.
“I want to save her. I don’t care if the bosses kill me.” That thought spurs Masamune into action. With help from his fellow operator Kotaro (Ken Nakajima), Masamune desperately tries to give Yuzuki advice on the other participants’ roles, the werewolves’ next targets, and what lies she should tell. Can he guide her to victory without attracting the attention of the other operators or the audience?
