Synopsis:

In a world haunted by monstrous creatures known as varuga, young Nai embarks on a desperate search for a missing friend. His quest unexpectedly intertwines with Gareki, a skilled thief caught in the thrall of a captivating but dangerous woman. When their paths converge and a horrifying truth is revealed, both boys are forced to flee for their lives.

Seeking refuge from the relentless varuga and the enigmatic woman who commands them, Nai and Gareki join Circus, a specialized government agency dedicated to combating extraordinary threats. Their mission promises answers about Nai's friend and leads them deeper into a conspiracy surrounding a clandestine group called Kafka. The series explores themes of survival, trust, and the blurred lines between humanity and monstrosity against a backdrop of intense action and unsettling mystery.
