【Director: Tsuda Naokatsu】

As this is an original anime, I wanted to produce it for “Those who have lingering over their youth and those who are feeling gloomy at the current state and affairs”. Actually, I felt that I didn’t enjoy my youth fully… So, I decided to face this struggle with the kind staff. I hope you will enjoy it!

【Story Composition, Script: Shimokura Vio (Nitro Plus)】

Up until now, I only handled the scenario for games, but I am finally able to show everyone the anime that I am genuinely involved in for the first time. I had also experienced quite a stimulating work as the story was created while having the heated argument with the staff, so I hope you can watch over the future of the Twenty Four Ward!

【Original Character Design: FiFS (Sogabe Shuuji, Nono Kanako)】

This is our first involvement in an original anime! We believe that the reason for us being selected is due to our result so far, but I believe that the design has ended up something quite stimulating and challenging as we wanted to response to the workplace that has strong opinions and thoughts toward this work. So, please look forward to it!

The characters are running freely in this world setting that is close to reality despite being a science fiction work. The resolutions and beliefs of the three characters are intertwined in this mysterious story… and there are also various challenges and adventures faced for the music as well. It makes me want to watch it immediately! I hope you would enjoy it!
