Protocol: Rain

After a tragic accident that took his father’s life and left his sister disabled, Shun Tokinoya carries deep emotional scars that keep him from playing online games. Now a diligent high school student burdened by regret over his past, he works part-time at a cybercafe run by his childhood friend Nozomi Inatsuki to help support his family. But when all members of FOX ONE-Nozomi’s father’s esports team-abruptly retire, Shun discovers the Inatsuki family is drowning in debt. To repay what they owe, he reluctantly agrees to compete in the Xaxerion Championship, an online gaming tournament. With their classmate Akito Sendou, the three set out to recruit skilled players to rebuild FOX ONE. While they manage to find two promising teammates, their struggles aren’t over. Unless Shun can move past his guilt and self-doubt, their hastily assembled team has little hope of winning.
