Synopsis:

Shanghai, 1931. Beneath the bustling facade of a vibrant metropolis, a network of clandestine operations unfolds as the world teeters on the precipice of war. In this era of burgeoning global tensions, the Sakura Kikan, a highly confidential intelligence agency, operates in the shadows. Comprised of individuals gifted with extraordinary abilities – telepathy, clairvoyance, and other unusual talents – the agency confronts a tide of complex conspiracies designed to destabilize nations.

The team navigates a landscape rife with deception, tasked with discerning truth from falsehood and neutralizing threats before they can escalate into wider conflict. Their work demands not only exceptional skills but also resilience in a city where appearances are often misleading. The anime explores themes of fate versus free will, the burden of power, and the moral complexities faced by those who operate outside the bounds of conventional law. It presents a nuanced portrayal of espionage within a historically rich setting.
