It's the nineties at Tokiwaga Middle School. And for gamers like Hajime Kano, the release of Magic: The Gathering means nothing will ever be the same again!
It's the summer of 1998, Japan. Hajime and Emi enjoy some fun in the sun at the pool and cast spells and summon creatures at their first official Magic: The Gathering tournament...after which, they start to see fireworks-literally and figuratively!
In 1998, as the world edges toward its prophesied end, Hajime makes a promise
to his best friend Kurushima-to reunite at a major Magic tournament in Kyoto. But when a
karaoke night with Emi takes a turn, he faces more than just winter's chill.
