Synopsis
Young sweeper Towa idolizes "Orange-Eyed Messiah," seeks mentorship from aloof Kei, uncovering dark truths about his hero.
Towa has always idolized the legendary sweeper known as the “Orange-Eyed Messiah,” a hero famed for wiping out the monstrous Adys that threaten humanity. Eager to follow in those footsteps, Towa joins the ranks of sweepers—elite fighters tasked with purging the deadly creatures. On his very first mission, he’s saved from certain death by Kei, a cool-headed veteran sweeper whose skill is matched only by his aloofness. Determined to become stronger, Towa begs Kei to mentor him, but the former sweeper flatly refuses. As Towa persists, strange figures from Kei’s past begin to surface, hinting that the truth behind the “Orange-Eyed Messiah” may be more complicated than the legends suggest. Drawn into a world of danger and buried secrets, Towa must carve out his own path while uncovering the mysteries surrounding both Kei and the hero he once worshipped.
