Decim's methods for judging the dead remain unchanged, but the sudden arrival of a black-haired amnesiac prompts him to reconsider his rulings. Both bartender and arbiter at Quindecim, he challenges its patrons to life-threatening games that reveal their true nature and determine what happens to their souls.
While most humans face Heaven or Hell after death, a select few arrive at this unusual bar. Only pairs of people who died at the same time can enter. There, activities ranging from darts and bowling to fighting games become tests with consequences beyond victory or defeat. Decim's judgment determines whether each soul will be reincarnated into another life or consigned to the void, never to be seen again.
