To have their wishes granted, they must challenge and overcome other Hand Shaker pairs, each with their own desires, and eventually face God itself. The story begins in Osaka, where a high schooler named Tazuna visits a university lab for a repair request. There, he meets a mysterious girl named Koyori, who lies asleep in a hospital bed. The moment he touches her hand, a strange voice calls out... and the battle begins. Thrown into the surreal battleground known as the Ziggurat, Tazuna and Koyori must fight together to survive, protect their bond, and confront other Hand Shakers standing in their way—each carrying their own wish."
