*“I want to reach the top—in basketball.”* Sou Kamino, who led his high school team to the national championship, heads to a U.S. university to become an NBA player. He continues to excel after enrolling, but... Two years later—a Japanese man is playing in a gambling basketball game in New York. It’s Kamino, now fallen from grace. Having dropped out of college for a certain reason, Kamino has hit rock bottom, scraping by day to day through gambling basketball. There’s no trace left of the shining star he once was. One day, after a gambling basketball game, a Socio (mafia member) approaches him with a proposal: “Why don’t you make some money with your basketball skills?” He is handed an invitation that reads \[Ranker Game ~BASKETBALL SHOW~\], indicating a 3x3 match where something is at stake. Kamino was taken to the venue and given a mission: “Lose by fixing the game.” The match began, and he successfully made mistakes to put his team in a tight spot, but suddenly a man burst onto the court and whispered in Kamino’s ear. *“You’re being set up. The loser of this match will be killed to silence them. You’ll be killed whether you lose or win. If you make a deal with me, I’ll save you.”* What decision will Kamino make... and where will his journey lead him? (Source: Amuse, translated)
