[edit]

Sanshiro Tamon's chances of having an adventure are slim to none in his tiny island hometown, until the day a mysterious stranger named Fue invites him to play a game.

Along the way he meets other players who have a particular reason for being there; to obtain the wish that is granted to the winner.
