Hand Shakers

Chosen by the Revelation of Babel, Hand Shakers fight through a gauntlet of trials by joining hands with a destined partner. That bond allows them to enter Ziggurat—an alternate realm where time stands still—where paired combatants clash for the chance to meet God and receive a single granted wish.

Tazuna Takatsuki, a high schooler who enjoys repairing broken things, becomes entangled in that hidden conflict after a job request from Professor Makihara at a nearby university. There he encounters Koyori Akutagawa, a bedridden girl who reminds him of his late sister, Musubu, and her final plea to never let go of her hand. When Tazuna takes Koyori’s hand, he awakens as a Hand Shaker—only to learn her life is bound to their connection, and releasing her would mean her death. With a wish from God as their lone hope, the pair must learn to synchronize their powers and survive the battles against other Hand Shakers.
