5. About Mirai Nikki
Yukiteru Amano is a shy high school student who mostly keeps to himself. The only proper interaction he has is with a personal diary on his cellphone.
He talks to two imaginary friends Deus Ex Machina, the god of time and space, and the servant of this god named Murmur.
Deus Ex Machina reveals himself to be an actual god and grants Yukiteru a “Random Diary” that shows him a highly detailed report of future events.
At first, he enjoys this ability, but his happiness soon crumbles when he discovers that he had been thrown into a battle royale with 11 other components with similar diaries.
The stakes are high as the winner would become the new god of time and space, and losing would cost them their lives.
In this journey, Yukiteru meets Yuno Gasai, who possesses one of the diaries. She becomes an obsessive stalker and shows Yandere tendencies towards Yukiteru.
Reluctantly, teaming up with her Yukiteru must win this psychological battle to become the god of time and space.
