    Synopsis:

    Set in the secluded rural community of Tana, *Zettai Shounen* explores the quiet anxieties of isolation and belonging. The narrative centers on Ayumu Aizawa, a recent city transplant grappling with a sense of displacement, and Kisa Tanigawa, a withdrawn young girl struggling to connect with her peers. Both characters find themselves adrift, experiencing a pervasive feeling that their lives have taken an unexpected turn.

    The story unfolds against a backdrop of unsettling occurrences – inexplicable events that seem to resonate most strongly with those wrestling with internal conflict. Rather than seeking answers for these phenomena, the anime focuses on the characters' individual journeys as they navigate feelings of alienation and search for meaning within a world that feels increasingly alienating. The atmosphere is contemplative, emphasizing emotional resonance over action-driven plotlines, offering a thoughtful examination of human connection in the face of the unknown.
