Bullied and lonely, he escapes his miserable reality by immersing himself in virtual games. His life changes when Kuroyukihime, the popular vice president of the student council, introduces him to a mysterious program called Brain Burst.
Brain Burst allows users to accelerate their brain waves, making time appear to stop, and functions as an augmented reality fighting game. Players gain points by winning duels, but losing all points means losing access to the program forever. Kuroyukihime wants to reach the highest level and uncover the creator's purpose, but to do so she must defeat the powerful faction leaders known as the Six Kings of Pure Color. After she helps Haruyuki stand up to his bullies, he vows to help her achieve her goal, and together they begin their fight to reach the top.
