His exceptional math skills allow him to instantly spot accounting errors but also make his day-to-day life incredibly boring.

One day, Akira is suddenly transferred to the Special Operations Department's "Appraisal Unit," which he is told is a key department within the bank. Suspicious of his transfer and the unfamiliar department, he is told by his new boss that the bank actually operates a massive underground casino, and that the Appraisal Unit is the department responsible for managing this gambling as well as the gamblers who participate in it. But these gamblers are putting more than just their money on the line, with their very lives serving as collateral to play! Higher risk means higher rewards, but at the top level losing is a death sentence.

Overwhelmed and confused by the strange state of the bank's secret casino, Mitarai meets a mysterious, genius gambler, Shin Mafutsu. Enraptured by Shin's ability to see through his opponents' cheating and emerge victorious, Akira decides to enter the world of life-or-death gambling as Shin's bank representative.

Yuuichi Katagiri has battled financial hardships his whole life but has learned to stay content and positive thanks to his close circle of friends. To keep a promise he made to them, Yuuichi saves up enough money to join them on the school trip. But when the gathered money mysteriously goes missing, suspicion falls on two of Yuuichi's friends: Shiho Sawaragi and Makoto Shibe, who were in charge of collecting the payments. Although innocent, Shiho and Makoto take responsibility for the failure to protect the money when no one else comes forward.

A few days later, Yuuichi and his friends receive mysterious letters which trick each of them into meeting up. Upon arrival, they are ambushed and knocked unconscious. They wake up in a mysterious room in the presence of "Manabu-kun," a character from a controversial children's show that stopped airing due to its malicious content. He informs the group that one of them indirectly gathered them together in order to settle a large debt. They are to play a "friendship game": a series of games that will test the strength of their bond and trust in each other. As the group's faith wavers due to the growing number of secrets and betrayals, Yuuichi must figure out who of his "friends" he can actually trust and ultimately discover the identity of the traitor.
