Synopsis:

The narrative centers on Sharaku, an unassuming boy burdened by a latent, destructive ability. A mystical third eye resides on his forehead, capable of unleashing formidable energy that transforms him into a powerful sorcerer with a penchant for domination. To contain this volatile power and safeguard humanity, Sharaku’s third eye is perpetually sealed with a bandage. This concealment, however, also erases memories of his darker potential and the terrifying conflicts of his other self. The story explores themes of identity, responsibility, and the delicate balance between inherent nature and external control as Sharaku navigates a world unaware of the dangerous force contained within him – a force he himself doesn't remember. The series unfolds with a contemplative atmosphere, investigating the consequences of suppressed power and the struggle for self-acceptance.
