Synopsis:

The narrative follows the evolving friendship of Mato Kuroi and Yomi Takanashi as they navigate the complexities of junior high. Initially inseparable, their bond experiences a subtle shift during their second year when Mato's attention diversifies. This change coincides with unsettling occurrences – Yomi’s gradual disappearance from Mato’s life, leaving behind only a lingering sense of absence.

Intertwined with this personal story is the world of Black★Rock Shooter, a legendary figure locked in conflict with the enigmatic Dead Master. The narrative suggests a deeper connection between these disparate worlds, hinting that Yomi’s vanishing act may be linked to a mysterious blue star charm and the powerful gunslinger herself. The anime explores themes of friendship, identity, and the potential consequences of diverging paths.
