Manga Roots
One day, high schooler Ageha Yoshina picks up a mysterious “red phone card” left behind in a public telephone booth. A few days later, his childhood friend and classmate, Sakurako Amamiya—who possessed the same card—suddenly vanishes without a trace. In search of her, Ageha finds himself drawn into the rumors surrounding a nationwide string of mysterious disappearances, said to be the work of a secret organization known only as “Psyren.”
REMOW, Synopsis
Toshiaki Iwashiro originally serialized Psyren within the pages of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump between 2007 and 2010. Viz Media subsequently published all 16 collected volumes for English-speaking readers from 2011 to 2014, establishing a dedicated international following that has spent over a decade hoping for a proper screen translation.
