Synopsis:

Thirty years ago, the emergence of Samon Syndrome opened pathways to countless fantasy worlds, irrevocably changing the lives of those who ventured beyond. Akatsuki Ousawa, once hailed as a hero in the realm of Alayzard, seeks a quiet life back on Earth. His return is complicated by Miu, the Demon King's daughter, whom he rescued and now hides as his sister to protect her identity. Together, they enroll in Babel, an institution designed to cultivate individuals empowered by their otherworldly experiences.

Babel’s stated mission of guiding interdimensional travelers towards a beneficial future feels incomplete to Akatsuki and Miu. They navigate a complex social hierarchy within the school's student council while grappling with unanswered questions about Babel's true purpose and the forces manipulating events from behind the scenes. The series explores themes of responsibility, identity, and the ethical implications of power gained through extraordinary circumstances.
