Bokura no: Tsuisou

A peaceful summer takes a dark turn for fifteen middle schoolers when a mysterious man invites them to test his new video game. What begins as a seemingly innocent challenge quickly escalates into a terrifying ordeal: piloting a colossal mecha in a desperate defense of Earth. There’s just one catch – the robot draws its power directly from the pilot’s life force, and every battle fought carries an irreversible cost. As the lines between game and reality blur, these unsuspecting teenagers are thrust into a high-stakes psychological drama where each victory demands an unimaginable sacrifice. Faced with impossible choices and the ever-present threat of annihilation, they must confront their deepest fears and decide how much they are willing to lose to save the world.
