Synopsis:

Tenchi Masaki's quiet life is irrevocably altered by the unexpected arrival of Mayuka, a teenage girl who claims him as her father. Initially dismissing the situation as a misunderstanding, Tenchi’s attempts to understand Mayuka lead to a complex family dynamic and a startling revelation about her origins. It’s discovered that Mayuka is a daughter from a fractured future, the consequence of a temporal anomaly.

While most of the Masaki household struggles to accept this new family member, a sense of unease permeates the atmosphere. Ryouko Hakubi is particularly wary, sensing a hidden darkness beneath Mayuka's seemingly innocent facade. The series explores themes of identity, destiny, and the potential consequences of manipulating time, all set against a backdrop of interpersonal relationships navigating extraordinary circumstances. The narrative focuses on the emotional challenges of integrating a stranger into a family while grappling with the unsettling implications of her existence.
