Synopsis:

Japan is under siege by colossal entities – beings possessing an unsettlingly childlike appearance juxtaposed with immense destructive power. These "scary cute" monsters relentlessly traverse the landscape, leaving behind a trail of devastation across familiar cities and serene countryside. The narrative follows individuals struggling to navigate this fractured reality, forced to confront not only physical danger but also the psychological impact of witnessing such bizarre, overwhelming events.

The series explores themes of resilience in the face of absurdity and the complex relationship between innocence and destruction. It presents a world where the lines between playful fantasy and terrifying reality blur, prompting reflection on how humanity adapts when confronted with the fundamentally inexplicable. The atmosphere is characterized by a pervasive sense of unease beneath a veneer of whimsical design, creating a uniquely unsettling viewing experience.
