Synopsis
In the year 2011, a small percentage of humans began manifesting psychokinetic abilities known as "Cantus." Over a millennium later, in the small town of Kamisu 66, Saki Watanabe is the last of her friends to awaken her powers and join the Sage Academy, a school for psychics like her. Although everyone at the institution has Cantus, they are not all equal; shortly after Saki enrolls, one of her classmates who is regarded as being weaker than the others suddenly disappears. Walking home one day ...
AI Synopsis
AI · OriginalWhen a perfect society hides a century‑old horror, five friends must unmask the truth.
A millennium after humanity sprouted the mysterious Cantus—psychic powers that reshaped society—Saki Watanabe finally awakens her abilities and joins the elite Sage Academy in the isolated town of Kamisu 66. The academy, a gilded façade of order, trains children to wield Cantus for the collective good, but beneath its serene surface lurks a hierarchy of power and a series of unsettling vanishings. When a classmate deemed "weak" disappears without a trace, Saki and her tightly‑knit circle—Maria, the fierce leader; Shun, the analytical prodigy; Satoru, the quiet observer; and Mamoru, the gentle giant—are thrust into a labyrinth of secrets. Their curiosity leads them to the subterranean realm of the Monster Rats, blind, mole‑like creatures that revere Cantus‑users as deities. A reckless rescue of one such rat earns Saki a bizarre gratitude that forces the group to question the moral foundations of their world. As more anomalies surface—missing children, forbidden rituals, and cryptic histories buried by the Council—the friends discover that the utopia they cherish is built upon centuries of cruelty, genetic manipulation, and a terrifying truth about humanity's evolution. Their journey becomes a desperate quest for truth, forcing them to confront the darkness lurking behind the glittering veneer of their "new world" and decide whether to preserve or shatter the fragile peace.
