Having only 30 minutes to meet the demands of the kidnappers, Juri, who realizes there is not enough time to prepare the money, decides to head for their rescue by herself with knife in hand when her grandfather uses a mysterious stone passed on in the Yukawa family to stop time. In a world where everyone and everything are inert, Juri and her father and grandfather run to rescue the two. But at the kidnappers' hideout, they soon realize they are not the only ones who can move about in this still world...

Side notes: This manga really had interesting idea for the story but I'm taking steps back after reading the first two chapters. My reason for lessened interest is the violence and brutality that one gets to see already in the start of the story. It's no easy peacy story but more so dramatic and unveils the greed and bad side of human nature. And art, it varies a lot from good to bad... it's like searching new dimensions and ways to create story and keep it interesting.
I keep watching this story if it is getting any better later on but as it is now it's not on my active reading list. Still it can't be that bad if it's a nominee of the 4th Manga Taisho Award in 2011. (38 points, eight place).
