Synopsis:

The comfortable existence of high school student Kaname Chidori and former soldier Sousuke Sagara is shattered by the emergence of Amalgam, a shadowy organization pursuing Kaname for her unique knowledge. Their initial confrontation unfolds within their familiar surroundings, quickly escalating into a global pursuit. Sousuke undertakes reconnaissance missions across diverse locations – from the landscapes of Laos to the coasts of Mexico – aiming to dismantle Amalgam’s operations.

As Kaname confronts the organization's threats, she grapples with the burden of her abilities and the changing nature of her own strength. The series explores themes of identity, connection, and the challenges of self-discovery amidst high stakes. The narrative balances action sequences with character-driven moments as Kaname and Sousuke navigate a complex and evolving conflict, pushing their personal boundaries while striving to uncover Amalgam's ultimate objective.
