Synopsis:
In a realm existing between life and death, a faction known as the Shinda Sekai Sensen (SSS) plots a daring escape from their eternal confinement. Led by the resourceful Yuri Nakamura, the group initiates "Operation High Tension Syndrome," a calculated deception aimed at manipulating Kanade Tachibana, a mysterious figure linked to divine authority. Their objective: to convince Kanade of their readiness to ascend to Heaven, securing a chance at freedom and a future beyond the afterlife.
The narrative unfolds with a focus on strategic planning and interpersonal dynamics within the SSS, as they navigate the complexities of deceiving a being seemingly beyond comprehension. The story explores themes of agency, belief, and the nature of existence, set against a backdrop of ethereal landscapes and profound questions about mortality. The anime emphasizes character-driven conflict and suspenseful anticipation as the SSS members race against time and face an uncertain fate determined by Kanade's perception.
