    Synopsis:

    Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Japan during the Taisho Era, this narrative explores the unexpected consequences of scientific ambition. A brilliant but unconventional scientist’s creation, a sophisticated artificial humanoid named Kurumi, becomes a catalyst for unforeseen events. Initially intended as a symbol of human progress, Kurumi is thrust into a conflict between the scientist's vision and the demands of a militaristic regime.

    The story gains a new direction when a young boy’s accidental encounter with Kurumi leads to an extraordinary awakening. This pivotal moment initiates a series of events that challenge established power structures and explore themes of humanity, purpose, and the unpredictable nature of connection. The anime presents a thoughtful examination of technological advancement interwoven with social and political tensions, framed by a unique and emotionally charged premise.
