Synopsis
Ordinary man's reality unravels as dreams and strangers blur waking life, joined by a mysterious girl.
An ordinary young man’s days take a surreal turn when vivid dreams, eerie visions, and encounters with enigmatic strangers begin to blur the line between waking life and illusion. Drawn into the mystery, he crosses paths with a peculiar girl whose presence seems tied to the unsettling phenomena. As the two dig deeper, the familiar fabric of his world begins to fray, hinting that reality itself might be far more fragile—and far stranger—than he ever imagined. (Source: FUNimation)
The unnamed main character has been having strange dreams, seeing strange things, and meeting strange people. He investigates these events and finds a strange girl named Aya. With her help, he discovers that his world may not in fact be real and many of the people he thinks he knows may not exist anymore. (Source: FUNimation)

- 10/10 “This underrated anime creates an emotionally invasive atmosphere with its impressive storytelling on deep topics. The seemingly childish music and occasional ridiculous moments paradoxically...”
- 7/10 “The art stands out as the series' strongest point with well-drawn, individualized characters and rich backgrounds that create a believable environment. However, the story makes absolutely no sense...”
