    Synopsis:

    Set in the aftermath of World War II, the narrative centers on Shikishima Industries, a burgeoning technological force spearheaded by Professor Shikishima. The company's advancements in robotics belie a shadowed past, intrinsically linked to a tragic event during the war – the death of Professor Kaneda, Shikishima’s former mentor. Shoutarou Kaneda, Kaneda’s son, finds himself drawn into this hidden history as he uncovers long-buried secrets within his father's legacy. The series explores themes of ambition, responsibility, and the ethical implications of technological progress. It portrays a world grappling with rebuilding while confronting the ghosts of its wartime actions, all through the lens of familial bonds and the weight of inherited truths. Expect a contemplative atmosphere, focused on character development amidst a backdrop of scientific innovation and lingering trauma.
