Plot Summary: In a post-apocalyptic world, following a devastating war that destroyed millions of lives, the people of Japanese society are living off of media, entertainment, and distraction from the depressing world outside of home. The country is governed by a small group of Japan's wealthiest elites, whose main goal is to keep the citizens distracted through captivating entertainment as a means of relaxation and escape. With all of Japan glued to their screens, there is little room for revolution or protest to the way things are being run.
One of the most-anticipated entertainment shows is Sole Survivor, a game show where contestants of Japan are randomly chosen and sent to a remote island to survive on their own in the wild. Full of alliances, double-crosses, challenges, and hidden secrets, this game show provides unbeatable entertainment for all audiences. The winner of each show is given a grand prize of one million dollars, which they can use for any and all purposes they desire. On the surface, Sole Survivor sounds like a harmless game show, but there is more behind the scenes than meets the eye.
Makoto Kino has been living on her own since her parents died in the midst of the war's devastation. She hates the screens, she hates the government, and she hates the wealthy. She knows the truth behind television, and she is alone in this reality. Makoto dropped out of school and focused instead on making a living of her own, hunting for food and trading anything she could find. She has no friends, no family - only herself to rely on. When she is drafted into Sole Survivor, she is forced to accept that even she is under the government's jurisdiction, despite her immunity to entertainment.
Ami Mizuno lives comfortably, to say the least, but she is by no means wealthy. Her father, a traveling artist, was killed during the war, and her mother is constantly occupied with her medical profession. To escape the stressors of her daily life, Ami's mother uses media entertainment, just like everyone else in Japan. Choosing to focus more on her studies, Ami spends less time paying attention to screens and more time paying attention to her education. But even Ami has naiveté, and when she is drafted into Sole Survivor, she soon realizes that the government isn't all in her favor, after all.
Both girls meet on Henshin Island, where they form a very unlikely alliance in hopes of being the last two standing. But during their time together, Makoto and Ami learn that there is so much more to life than what the Japanese government has shown them, and that maybe being a survivor isn't such a bad thing after all.
