Synopsis
Manga author trapped in his own creation, questioning his role while seeking escape.
Sagara Masamune is a struggling manga author whose battle manga isn't performing as well as he'd hoped. While contemplating how to bring his series to a satisfying conclusion, he finds himself mysteriously transported into the very world he created. Now trapped within the pages of his own manga, Masamune must navigate the story alongside his characters, including the exorcist protagonists he's brought to life. As he experiences his fictional world firsthand, he begins to question his role as creator and must find a way to return to reality while discovering what truly makes a story worth telling.
