Synopsis
Transported teen Mitsuki, deemed powerless, joins priestess Menou to uncover his hidden ability and navigate a world of Lost Ones.
Average student Mitsuki Mutou suddenly finds himself transported to another realm. Summoned by the king of this world for the remarkable power he is supposed to possess, Mitsuki is thrown out when it appears that he lacks a Special Concept. Moping about, he encounters a priestess named Menou who explains that Japanese people like him are known as Lost Ones, and such individuals never fail to have Special Concepts. Menou elaborates that she is part of a church that helps abandoned Lost Ones integrate into society. She invites him to spend the night at her church, where the two can investigate the nature of his ability. As they work together to uncover the truth about Mitsuki's potential, they begin to form an unexpected connection. However, as Mitsuki learns more about this new world and the role of Lost Ones within it, he starts to question who he can truly trust.
