Synopsis:

In the quiet port city of Otaru, a group of androids known as marionettes navigate the complexities of human existence. Following a period of development, three marionettes from the Faust organization are integrated into Otaru's community, seeking to understand emotions and social interaction. Their experiences are complicated by the arrival of Marine, a seventh marionette possessing an unusual ability that sets her apart.

The series explores themes of identity, sentience, and the blurred lines between artificiality and feeling. As the marionettes adapt to Otaru's world, they grapple with newfound emotions and the implications of their unique construction. The narrative emphasizes interpersonal relationships and the challenges of forming genuine connections, offering a thoughtful exploration of what it means to be alive – even when created. The atmosphere is gentle and introspective, inviting viewers to contemplate questions of consciousness and belonging.
