Introduction
Now, let's start deathmatches where we don't die.
Story
Due to a certain incident, a high school student named Hotaru Tachibana is half-forced to play a survival game. Surrounded by highly characteristic comrades such as Masamune Matsuoka, a host from a host club, and Toru Yukimura, an erotic manga artist, Hotaru initially plays only because she has to, but as time passes she gradually becomes fascinated by the game......
