    Synopsis:

    Kaginado Academy exists as a nexus point, drawing students from disparate realities united by a mysterious origin. The narrative centers on a diverse cast navigating the challenges of adolescence within this unique educational environment. While striving for normalcy, the academy’s unusual student body frequently confronts existential questions about identity and belonging, triggered by interactions that blur the lines between their individual histories.

    The series explores themes of self-perception and interpersonal dynamics through the lens of three central characters: Ryou, burdened by societal expectations; Yukito, grappling with feelings of isolation; and Ayu, consistently embroiled in chaotic circumstances. A blend of slice-of-life elements and self-aware humor creates a distinctive atmosphere as these students grapple with their pasts and forge connections in a world that defies conventional understanding.
