Spreading throughout Japan is a series of mysterious disappearances, targeting only youths. The only similarity is that each victim was a well-known [[LetsPlay LPer]], all on the verge of completing the closed beta of a free-to-play game, ''The Ones Within - Genome''.
A group of such victims find themselves in an unknown location, where they're told that they'll be doing a livestream of ''The Ones Within - Genome''--except this is no video game, but instead reality. To earn their freedom, they must achieve 100 million total views, starring:
->'''Akatsuki Iride''' -- specializing in escape games.
->'''Karin Sarayashiki''' -- specializing in horror games.
->'''Kaikoku Onigasaki''' -- specializing in Japanese-style games.
->'''Himiko Inaba''' -- specializing in nurturing simulation games.
->'''Anya Kudō''' -- specializing in fighting games.
->'''Yuzu Roromori''' -- specializing in puzzle and maze games.
->'''Zakuro Oshigiri''' -- specializing in stealth games.
->'''Makino Aikawa''' -- specializing in dating simulation games.
However, when conspiracies lurk around the corner and rebellion pays a price, it only gets more complicated from there.

!!''Naka no Hito Genome [Jikkyouchuu]'' provides examples of:
* ThirteenIsUnlucky: This game's round takes place in the 13th Avenue.
* {{Adorkable}}: Several among the group, between Iride's good-natured ditziness, Inaba's shyness, Onigasaki's well-meaning straight-laced attitude combined with his inability to deal with girls, Aikawa's {{Cloudcuckoolander}} behaviour, and Sarayashiki's constant panicking over the situation.
* AffablyEvil: Paca is friendly as long as you don't respond with violence and/or rule-breaking, a {{Fanboy}} of Inaba's livestreams, and gets along great with [[AllLovingHero Iride]]. Still the host keeping them captive and unremorsefully inflicting punishments on them, though.
* AffectionateNickname: Roromori's given these to everyone. Akki for Akatsuki, Karirin for Karin, Anbou for Anya, Hiimin for Himiko, Makimaki for Makino, Zakkun for Zakuro, and Kai for Kaikoku.
* AllLovingHero: In the 1st stage, in which the players were meant to ''fight'' the creatures, [[FriendToAllLivingThings Iride befriends the panda instead]]. As for humans? Iride makes it clear he loves all his teammates and will happily befriend any of them, from the {{Tsundere}} Sarayashiki to the HotBlooded Kudo. Also, befriending a possibly malicious spirit who'd just tried to burn him to death.
* AttractiveBentGender: Oshigiri refuses to do it, but when deciding on a guy to dress up as a female sacrifice, Roromori comments that [[DudeLooksLikeALady Oshigiri could absolutely pull it off]]. The few images we see of him without his mask on confirm that yes, he looks almost identical to his ''female'' twin.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Oshigiri, who actually ''wanted'' to be kidnapped so he could search for his missing twin sister. Also, while Onigasaki is likely older than he is, Oshigiri is rather protective of him as well, due to Onigasaki's tendency to get into trouble. Onigasaki, on his part, doesn't appreciate it.
* BirdsOfAFeather: As Sarayashiki observes, Iride and Roromori (who has a blatant crush on him) are cut from the same cloth, as easily excitable dorks who don't let anything bring them down.
* CannotTalkToWomen: Oshigiri isn't too good around women (funnily enough, he has a twin sister [[spoiler:who notes in an omake that he's always been like that]]).
* ChekhovsGunman: Sarayashiki's brother is first mentioned as part of her DarkAndTroubledPast but plays a role later in the story. However, he actually debuted in the very first chapter: he's the detective investigating the disappearances.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Both Iride and Aikawa are odd, to say the least. In Iride's case, he's just a major airhead, but Aikawa veers right into AmbiguousDisorder territory.
* CommonalityConnection: Oshigiri immediately takes to Onigasaki, who's the only participant who isn't just going along with the game but is instead digging deeper. Onigasaki turns down the offer of a partnership, though, as he and Oshigiri are too different otherwise
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: As punishment for Kudo's constant violence, he... gets all of his meals covered in bell peppers. Iride bribes him into participating in a game by offering to eat them for him.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: All of the main characters, as invoked by the host. For the 13th avenue, they wanted participants who'd be more inclined to actually play along, so they kidnapped people who, for whatever reason, don't particularly want to return home (if they even have one).
* DeadlyGame: The titular ''The Ones Within - Genome''--the real-life version, that is. While most of the individual rounds aren't that dangerous themselves (except for when ''certain'' people break the rules, prompting special rounds as punishment), it's made clear that if they don't achieve enough views, they will literally play until they die, and that's not even getting into the White Room...
* EmotionlessBoy: Aikawa reacts to virtually nothing. While it's usually meant for gags, it's also implied that he's depressed.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The grandfather-granddaughter ogre duo of the 5th stage love each other dearly (as they cooperate to abduct maidens).
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Stare into Aikawa's eyes for five seconds and you'll fall in love with him. ''No exceptions.''
* ExhaustedEyebags: Kudo has these, [[spoiler:due to his sleeping disorder]].
* FirstNameBasis: Kudo prefers to be on this with others, finding it gross to be so formal.
* TheFool: In the 7th stage, in what's essentially hide-and-seek, almost the entire group tries to play the game smart (hiding, switching rooms, etc.), even though it's mostly up to chance... and yet the only person who avoids getting caught even once is Aikawa, ''who spent the entire round up to that point sleeping in his room''.
* TheGadfly: Roromori loves to poke fun at people, with [[{{Tsundere}} Sarayashiki]] being her favourite target--e.g. flirting with her to get their views to go up, telling her that she's actually a guy (... while they're both naked in the open bath, mind you), etc.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: Invoked by Roromori, who flirts with Sarayashiki knowing that it'll attract viewers.
* HairTriggerTemper: Kudo flies off the handle at the slightest provocation. Then again, if you were [[spoiler:constantly exhausted thanks to a sleeping disorder]], you'd be grumpy all the time too. (Oshigiri thinks it's just part of his nature, though.)
* HeadbuttingHeroes: Kudo and Oshigiri have clashed since Day 1 (though it's worth noting that when the Mimicry Man-eater grabbed Oshigiri, [[TeethClenchedTeamwork Kudo was also the first to come to his rescue]]).
* IdiotHair: [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Iride]] has one. He's apparently rather attached to it, as he's visibly saddened when it gets flattened.
* IHaveNoSon: Onigasaki was disowned by his family. It's still a sore spot for him.
* InsistentTerminology: Paca, who is a paca. Definitely not an alpaca.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kudo's constantly cranky and prone to throwing punches, but most of the time he's yelling about the absurdity of the situation or to cover up his own issues, rather than out of any malice. (Unless your name is Oshigiri, anyway.)
* KnifeNut: Oshiri carries around a pocket knife to go with his stealth image.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Fitting for a stealth expert, Oshigiri believes that if you can't win the fight, then you should run--in contrast to Onigasaki, who think it'd shame his family name to flee. In response, Oshigiri straight-up tells him to cast away that name if it'll get in the way.
* MellowFellow: Not much seems to get to Onigasaki, with the others noting that he goes at his own pace. Of course, if you do piss him off, you're probably about to die.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: As far as Onigasaki's concerned, everything can be solved by cutting it down with his sword. Lampshaded by Oshigiri, who asks why violence is always his first resort (it's because he hates waiting).
* TheNicknamer: Roromori, as evident by all the [[AffectionateNickname Affectionate Nicknames]] above.
* NightmareFetishist: Subverted. Sarayashiki's the horror specialist... but she's the ''worst'' at dealing with any round that's even remotely scary. As she puts it, liking horror games doesn't mean she actually ''wants'' to be in a horror game herself!
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: During the 6th state, Kudo finds Inaba's tendency to loom over him absolutely terrifying.
* OddFriendship: [[HairTriggerTemper Kudo]] and [[AllLovingHero Iride]] become fast friends thanks to Iride offering to eat Kudo's [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment bell peppers]].
* OnlySaneMan: Kudo in the 3rd stage, between [[SeriousBusiness Inaba]], [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Iride, and Aikawa]].
* TheQuietOne: Aikawa's a man of few words, even in his livestreams (with Kudo pointing out that he barely even qualifies as an [[LetsPlay LPer]], in that case...).
* RebelliousSpirit: Oshigiri at least apologizes for breaking the rules and landing the entire group in trouble. Onigasaki? [[spoiler:Unsurprisingly, he ends up getting thrown into the White Room down the line.]]
-->'''Onigasaki:''' Rules are meant to be broken. Screw that.
-->'''Kudo:''' What's with you? You in your rebellious age or what?
* SeriousBusiness: Inaba takes nurturing simulations very seriously. ''Very''. Also, anything that has to do with nurturing, period.
* ShrinkingViolet: Inaba's very soft-spoken. With that said, BewareTheNiceOnes is absolutely in play here: the girl carries flash grenades and she's not afraid to use them!
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Roromori's the only one of the bunch with glasses, and as the puzzle expert, she's the best at problem-solving, as well as a budding chemist, apparently.
* StalkerWithACrush: Roromori towards Iride, complete with a StalkerShrine in her room.
* SuperGullible: Oshigiri, who believes it when Roromori says that girls carry ''poison'' for self-defence nowadays. He combines this with CuriousAsAMonkey in an omake, where he finds himself plagued by Kudo's insults towards him (straight-laced mushroom[[note]]his hairstyle is vaguely mushroom-ish and he's a straight-laced guy[[/note]], V-neck[[note]]his shirt[[/note]]), wondering if they have some kind of deeper meaning (they don't).
* TeamMom: Both Inaba and Oshigiri serve this role, with their tendency to fuss over their teammates.
* TeamPet: Punitsuki, the slime version of Iride's head. ItMakesSenseInContext.
* TragicKeepsake: Kudo's helmet belonged to [[spoiler:his dead oldest brother. Similarly, his other brother, Shinya, inherited the earrings]].
* TrueCompanions: Almost. The group certainly gives off this impression when [[spoiler:Onigasaki is imprisoned in the White Room]] and the others boycott the game in response, even if it means meeting the same fate. Ironically, while only Oshigiri is aware, [[spoiler:Onigasaki is essentially the divide in the group, as he doesn't trust Iride and Roromori, and encourages Oshigiri to likewise be suspicious]].
* {{Tsundere}}:
** Sarayashiki is a textbook example, and was apparently voted as the number one female [[LetsPlay LPer]] fans want to be stepped on by. When Kudo and Iride see (a fake version of) her smiling, they're understandably creeped out.
** As a male example, Kudo would rather die than admit he's fond of Iride.
* WhamLine: In Ch. 18.
-->'''Paca:''' Good morning, Onigasaki-sama. [[spoiler:'''Welcome to the White Room.''']]
* YouRemindMeOfX: As Oshigiri states, Onigasaki acts a lot like how Oshigiri would expect his sister to act in this situation, which is why he follows him around: he hopes that by doing so, he'll find a lead as to his sister's whereabouts.
