It’s the nineties at Tokiwagi Middle School. And for gamers like Hajime Kano, after the release of Magic: The Gathering, nothing will ever be the same again!

The year is 1998. The prophesied “end of the world” is nipping at the planet’s heels along with the cold winds of winter. After an intense game of Magic with his best friend, Kurushima, Hajime makes a promise with him that he intends to keep—to meet each other at one of the biggest tournaments in Kyoto. However, when Emi gets upset with Hajime at karaoke, he finds himself weathering more than just the icy cold of winter.
