While in the most desperate of times, a figure will appear out of nowhere offering substantial funds loaned against a person's possible future. Seemingly over giddy and sprite like at times, Masakaki  is a true agent of entropy who, as he puts it, takes his orders from above. He looks sinister and untrustworthy at times, then acts cheery and full of childish hope when least expected. Hailing from a nexus like demenison that converges from any given point of our world, his power to affect the material realm seems as limitless as his insanity.

The Japanese government was rescued from the brink of financial collapse by the Sovereign Wealth Fund. For its citizens, however, life has not improved and unemployment, crime, suicide, and despair are rampant. Kimimaro, raised by his maternal aunt after the disappearance of his father and the death of his mother, is a scholarship student whose only dream is to live a stable, ordinary life. One day he meets a man who offers him a large sum of money if he will allow his "future" to be held as collateral. From then on his fate is radically altered as he's drawn into a mysterious realm known as the Financial District, where he must compete in weekly tournaments called "deals" in order to keep his money and avoid losing his future.<br>
