Yuri's only wish is to be a role model for his nephew and make his life better, but his life turns completely into a nightmare when a secret organization kidnaps his brother and nephew. Nothing will ever be the same for Yuri again.
When the criminals call Yuri and demand that he bring 5 million yen to a newly specified location within 30 minutes, he realizes this is impossible and decides to stop the criminals on his own. In response, his grandfather decides to reveal the family secret to his son and grandson. The family has actually been guarding a mysterious stone passed down through generations. This is a magical stone, and when the magic is activated, time stops for everyone except the person performing the spell. In other words, they can move independently of time and space. Meanwhile, all other people remain motionless because time has stopped. After casting the spell, the Yukawa family sets out to rescue Tsubasa and Makoto. However, an event occurs that none of them could have predicted. They are not the only ones who can perform the spell. Others are also aware of the situation. And now, a ruthless competition and chase begins between the Yukawa family and these mysterious figures. Will they be able to rescue Tsubasa and Makoto from the hands of these mysterious individuals, and what is their purpose?

Review
Here is a fine series from 2018. This show deserves praise for both its subject matter and execution. The character designs and plot are seriously well-crafted and flow smoothly. You can feel the tension in the series moment by moment. It is a series that truly does justice to its theme. Furthermore, you can see that the fantastical atmosphere in the anime has been kept to a minimum (excluding certain elements) as much as possible for mature audiences. Instead, the abundance of tension, psychological elements, and action enhances watchability. I cannot help but mention that this anime is a series with high potential. It is not surprising that Japanese creators consistently derive such ideas from simple elements. In short, if you want to experience the tension, action, and what the seinen genre offers down to your bones, this anime is perfect for you.
