## Premise

[edit]

The series centers on Hajime Tsukiyoda, a high school film student who finds himself in the middle of a terrifying event where giant goldfish suddenly descend on the populace of Shibuya and begin feeding on people. Hajime meets with popular classmate Fukakusa whom he immediately crushes on and tries to save. However, she is revealed to be deranged and unsympathetic to his plight and, in an effort to have him "sacrifice" himself, ends up getting killed by the goldfish. Hajime tries to kill himself by jumping from a building, but ends up killing several goldfish on the way down and survives. He is soon rescued by several survivors who inform him that a giant glass bowl has been placed over Shibuya and now they must try to escape.
