In a world grappling with societal decay, five companions embark on a protracted journey to the Celestial Realm of Buddha, seeking to restore harmony to Earth. Utsu no Miko, a young man bearing a divine mark and dedicated to ascending to godhood, leads this unlikely fellowship. Their pilgrimage, spanning three decades, takes them into the realm of immortals, where they must confront powerful deities to progress. The journey reveals that even gods are subject to complex emotions and desires, prompting Miko to re-evaluate his purpose. He discovers a profound interconnectedness between the divine and mortal realms, realizing that true peace hinges on the delicate balance between both, fueled by human resilience and affection. The anime explores themes of faith, destiny, and the nature of divinity through a contemplative narrative set against a backdrop of spiritual exploration and challenging encounters with celestial powers.
