Eden of The East

On November 22, 2010, Japan endures a bizarre terrorist incident: missile strikes that miraculously leave no casualties. Dubbed “Careless Monday,” the event fades from public attention as daily life resumes.

Three months later in the United States, outgoing college student Saki Morimi is pulled out of an unexpected predicament by Akira Takizawa—an upbeat yet unsettling stranger found completely naked, suffering from amnesia, and convinced he may be a terrorist. Stranger still, he carries a mysterious phone tied to 8.2 billion yen in digital funds. Drawn in despite the red flags, Saki befriends him, only to find herself caught at the edge of a dangerous game where money, phones, and the fate of the world are intertwined. As Saki searches for the truth behind her rescuer, Takizawa faces others equipped with similar phones, while fragments of his returning memories hint at a connection to Careless Monday.
