Synopsis:

There is no escape. Modern day Tokyo collides with BATTLE ROYALE in this thriller where a teenager, Tsubasa Sato, is flung into an alternative Japan, ruled by an tyrannical emperor. He soon discovers that anyone with the last name "Sato" is hunted down game-style by mysterious hunters in black with smiling masks. Tsubasa eventually notices that the parallel world is linked to the real world, killing same person who has already been killed in the parallel world. And when the siren sounds to signify that the Chasing game has begun, he must use all of his cunning not only to survive but to bring an end to the game itself.

In Japan, a mysterious series of murders has occurred, which only targets people whose last name is 'Sato'. During a fight with a gangster, high school student Tsubasa Sato winds up in a parallel world. Things appear to be the same, but his friends and classmates are somehow different from who they used to be. Tsubasa doesn't understand what is happening around him. After seeing a girl killed in front of him by a pursuer, he finds out that he is now in a world where the lord of the land plays a lethal game of tag--a real onigokko (chasing game) that targets people whose last name is 'Sato'. If, during the 'game', a target manages to elude his pursuers for a few hours every day for a week, any wish that he has will be granted. Tsubasa discovers that the parallel world is linked to ours; when a person is killed in the parallel world, so is the target's counterpart in our world. When the siren sounds to signify that onigokko has begun, Tsubasa races to protect his sister's double--and hence his sister herself.

An adrenalin-fuelled thriller about a rash of murders all involving people with the surname "Sato" and a desperate high school student with that name who becomes trapped in a parallel world while being forced to participate in a lethal game of tag.
