Synopsis
1980s kids navigate homework, nuclear fears, and friendship in their secret world.
Kirita is a typical child of the Eighties, equally worried about homework and nuclear war. His precocious friend Takumi can't figure out why the other kids won't acknowledge him as their obvious superior. And silent Tsugumu just wants to rock out. Welcome to the secret world of the children nowadays. (Source: VIZ Media)
