Synopsis

Yu-yu is a 15-year-old boy in his third year of junior high school living in Kanazawa, Kaga Province. He has the ability to sense the feeling of others, but he is troubled by the fact that he cannot say no when asked. One day, fed up with going along with his sister's hobby, runs away from home. He is saved by Megumi Okura, who invites him to a nighttime amusement park called Wonder Hill where her friends hang out. At the amusement park, Yu-yu meets Megumi, Zakusa Ishikame, and Tomari Seto, who are members of Team Blackout, a group that meets to play Vanguard every night.

Tonight, a serious fight for the team's flag is about to take place. Blackout's leader, Danji Momoyama, and a mysterious and powerful fighter named Tohya Ebata. As Yu-yu faces them, the card fight soon erodes into a world of images. Thus, Yu-yu encounters Vanguard, a world he has never seen before, and is drawn in by its powerful allure as he makes new friends along the way.
