Synopsis
Two gifted children—one a time-magic prodigy, one a genius sociopath—cross the hidden magical/mundane divide of Kyuushu.
In an alternate version of Nagasaki prefecture, Japan, magic exists as a closely guarded secret. The wizards who dwell here are bound to the island of Kyuushu, unable to cross the ocean that surrounds them. This magical community has lived in careful balance with the mundane world, though tensions between the two have existed for generations. Mizukura Risuka, a ten-year-old girl born into a legendary magical bloodline, finds herself navigating both worlds. Gifted with extraordinary magical abilities that manifest in unique ways, she travels beyond the borders of her homeland while searching for answers about her family's past. Her powers, tied to the very essence of time itself, make her both a figure of hope and fear among those who know of her existence. Accompanying her on this journey is Kugi Kizutaka, a brilliant but unsettling ten-year-old boy whose exceptional intellect is matched by his disturbing worldview. As they traverse the landscape between the magical and mundane realms, their unlikely partnership will challenge both of them to confront the true nature of power, control, and what it means to be human in a world divided by fear and magic.
