Synopsis:

Nestled within the unassuming confines of a small publishing house in Most City, lies a peculiar monthly magazine dedicated to documenting the bizarre and improbable. The lives of its staff – editor-in-chief Tarou, his diligent assistant Jirou, and their loyal canine companion Saburou – are unexpectedly disrupted by a meeting with Dr. Gorou Satou, a scientist whose work delves into realms beyond conventional understanding.

The series explores the ripple effects of encountering extraordinary concepts within an otherwise ordinary world. Expect a slow-burn narrative centered on the characters' reactions to the unsettling and wondrous discoveries presented by Satou. The atmosphere is one of quiet curiosity, tinged with a growing sense of unease as the boundaries between reality and the impossible begin to blur. It offers a thoughtful examination of perception and the potential consequences of pursuing knowledge without limits.
