Synopsis
Amnesiac soldier Calen becomes a shinigami in limbo, guided by Makoto to find redemption and peace for souls.
When I woke up, I was in the land of the dead... Calen, who remembers nothing except that he was a soldier when he was alive, finds himself in a mysterious realm called "limbo." There he meets Makoto, a gentle caretaker who guides souls in this in-between world. As Calen adjusts to his new existence, he is given the role of a shinigami - a death god tasked with helping souls find peace. Through his daily duties and growing bond with Makoto, Calen begins to understand the weight of his past actions and the possibility of redemption. Together, they navigate the complexities of life after death, where every soul has a story and every goodbye carries the hope of healing. This is a poignant tale of love, forgiveness, and second chances, set in a beautifully imagined world between life and death, where the bonds we form may be the key to finding peace.
