Synopsis:

Set in the coastal metropolis of Ayanagi City, a planned community built to rebuild after a decade-old societal collapse known as “Apathy Syndrome,” the series follows high school student Shin Kanzato. Reconnecting with his police chief older brother, Ryou, and younger brother Jun, Shin finds himself drawn into a series of unsettling events plaguing the city. These incidents range from inexplicable disappearances to a resurgence of the apathy-like affliction and bizarre physical transformations.

As Ryou investigates these anomalies, Shin unexpectedly manifests a powerful ability – a "Persona." The narrative explores themes of societal recovery, psychological resilience, and familial bonds against a backdrop of futuristic urban decay. It presents a contemplative atmosphere, blending elements of mystery and psychological intrigue as Shin navigates the implications of his newfound power while unraveling a hidden organization's influence on Ayanagi City.
