On November 22, 2010, Japan experienced a terrorist attack involving missile strikes that fortunately did not cause any harm. This incident became known as "Careless Monday." Despite its significance, society quickly moved on with their daily lives without much attention to the event. During her graduation trip in America three months later, Saki Morimi's life was forever changed when she encountered Akira Takizawa, a friendly but odd individual who saved her from unexpected trouble. Takizawa is naked and suffers from amnesia, believing himself to be a terrorist. He also possesses an unusual cell phone with 8.2 billion yen in digital cash. Despite his suspicious nature, Saki quickly formed a bond with the enigmatic young man. However, unbeknownst to her, this was just the beginning of a thrilling death game involving money, cell phones, and the salvation of the world. Higashi no Eden follows Saki's journey as she tries to understand the mysteries behind Takizawa and his connection to the event that occurred months prior. Meanwhile, Takizawa battles other individuals who possess similar cell phones and memories that reveal a possible link between him and the terrorist attack.

Higashi no Eden won the Animation Kobe Award in the Television category during the Animation Kobe festival in 2009 as well as the best television series of the year award at the ninth annual Tokyo International Anime Fair.
