In a bygone era, a powerful entity known as Toue Inc. seized control of Midorijima, Japan, with a grand vision in mind: the creation of Platinum Jail, an opulent haven for the world's wealthiest elite. While the fortunate few reveled in their newfound luxury, the island's original inhabitants were unceremoniously relocated to the dilapidated Old Residential District. As Platinum Jail reached completion, these forsaken residents were left to wither in neglect and abandonment. On this intriguing island, two games have taken center stage – "Rib" and "Rhyme." Rib, a gritty street game, pits gangs against each other in fierce turf wars. Conversely, Rhyme is an extraordinary leap into the future, where participants engage in thrilling virtual battles. To partake in Rhyme, one must possess an "All-Mate," a remarkable AI companion often fashioned as a lovable pet, and the match must be mediated by an enigmatic figure known as an "Usui." For Aoba Seragaki, the tranquil existence he covets finds solace in shunning both games. His preference is a serene life spent alongside his compassionate grandmother and his loyal All-Mate, Ren. However, when fate intervenes and plunges him into a perilous Rhyme match against his will, Aoba's comfortable aspirations swiftly disintegrate. Vicious rumors swirl about the vanishing Rib players, thrusting Aoba into a world where normality becomes a distant memory.
