After five years of unspoken feelings, the student Taiju Ooki is finally ready to confess his love to Yuzuriha Ogawa. But just as Taiju begins his confession, a blinding green light hits the earth and petrifies humanity all over the world, turning every human being to stone.

A few millennia later, Taiju awakens to find the modern world completely non-existent, as nature has flourished in the years when mankind stood still. In the midst of a stone world of statues, Taiju meets another living person: his science-loving friend Senkuu, who has been active for several months. Taiju learns that Senkuu has come up with a grand plan: to start the full rebirth of civilization with science. Taiju’s strength and Senkuu’s brain form a formidable partnership, and they soon discover a way to revive the petrified. However, Senkuu’s master plan is threatened when his ideologies are challenged by those who are awakening. The reason why mankind became petrified is now unknown.
