Series Brief

Overview

In the year 2024, the world has collapsed. Grotesque monsters lurk amongst the ruins of Japan, while remaining people scrape together what they can to survive. Kiruko, an odd-job girl in Nakano, accepts a mysterious woman's dying wish to take a boy named Maru to a place called Heaven. Maru is convinced that there will be a boy there who looks exactly like him.

Why fans love it

Post-apocalyptic futures are familiar territory in anime, but this 2023 seinen adaptation stands out through its quiet mystery and stark focus on survival. Set in a collapsed Japan where grotesque monsters wander the ruins, the story balances gritty action with an eerie trek across a destroyed world. Rather than relying solely on monster fights, the series relies on the compelling dynamic between Kiruko and Maru as they honor a dying wish to find a place called Heaven.

The narrative holds interest by introducing strange, unsettling themes—including organ transplants and the cryptic premise of a boy who looks identical to Maru. Voice acting from Gen Sato helps ground the journey amid the apocalyptic landscape. Based on the comic, this animated sci-fi mystery blends intense action with a genuinely unpredictable adventure, proving that the search for answers can be just as dangerous as the creatures lurking in the ashes.
