Synopsis
In post-war Japan, skeptical Ogito investigates miracles for the Vatican while questioning faith and divine truth.
Set in a future Japan, 500 years after an endless war called "Eternity" was miraculously brought to an end, humanity now lives in what is known as "the time after eternity." In this new world, Christianity has become the dominant force, with the Vatican exerting significant influence over daily life. Society has become sharply divided between the deeply devout and those who question or reject the faith. The story follows Ogito, a young man labeled as "godless" due to his skeptical nature and extensive reading of forbidden texts. Despite - or perhaps because of - his reputation, he is assigned as an intern to the prestigious "department of saints," specifically working in the "miracle inspections" section. This department is responsible for investigating and verifying alleged miracles throughout the country. As Ogito begins his new role, he finds himself paired with unusual colleagues, including Izumi, a mysterious figure whose unique circumstances challenge conventional understanding of faith and humanity. Together, they embark on investigations that will test their beliefs and force them to confront the true nature of miracles in a world where the line between divine intervention and human deception has become increasingly blurred.
Set in a future Japan, 500 years after an endless war called "Eternity" was called to a conclusion by a miracle, people live in "the time after eternity". Christianity has spread and the Vatican now control everyday life; people are divided into the "deeply devout" and the "not so devout". Ogito is known for being "godless" and is taken as an intern in the "department of saints" in the "miracle inspections" section, partly due to his reading many forbidden books. He is immediately taken off on an inspection where a preist - the head of his three person team - is killed, and Ogito is left only with the wierd Izumi - a man who gave up his life to God to let his heart reside in a puppet.
