Synopsis
Teen rebels escape emotionless dome city to seek humanity's freedom across post-climate-crisis Earth.
In the year 2187, Earth has become uninhabitable due to catastrophic climate change, forcing humanity to retreat into isolated dome cities scattered across the planet. These once-connected havens have grown distant and estranged over time. Shuu is a teenage boy living in Datania, a controlled environment where children are raised under strict programming that suppresses their emotions and individuality. Despite the sterile existence imposed upon him, Shuu harbors a deep yearning to experience the natural world beyond the dome's walls—particularly the ocean he's only seen in fragments of old data. When Shuu encounters members of The Returners, a group of rebels who have managed to maintain their humanity while living in the shadows of Datania, he sees an opportunity to escape. Together with his friends, he joins these freedom fighters on a journey across the devastated landscape in search of other dome cities, hoping to find a place where people can live freely and rediscover what it means to be human. As they travel through the remnants of the world that was, Shuu and his companions face numerous challenges while learning about the planet's past and the mysterious forces that control the dome cities. Their quest becomes not just a search for sanctuary, but a journey of self-discovery as they uncover the truth about their world and their place within it.
In the year 2187, the planet Earth, caused by global warming is leading the human civilization to certain destruction. As such people are unable to live on the Earth's surface so they created domed cities, but as time goes by, war and unstable land condition parted the dome cities and they lose contact with each other. Shuu is a teenage boy from Datania, a school-type city dome controlled by Zero, a data program, with the help of his human assistant Nines, and later Berk. They forced the children who lived there to live and work as programmed using the reset system, which resulted in the children having no emotions, needs, or human instinct, like robots. The series began when Shuu, who dreamt of seeing the ocean, escaped with his friends from Datania with the help from, Ein, May, and Dolly from The Returners, rebels of Datania who live underground. Shuu goes with the Returners to find Amaroute, another dome city which they believed to be the better place to live. Along the journey, Shuu explored the world he has never seen before, he also joined the Returners in fighting Zero and his men who are after DT, a special substance inside humans, which Shuu and his Returner friends have. Arriving in Amaroute, the Returners realized that Amaroute was the same as Datania, and likewise, it is controlled by Zero, but assisted this time, by another clone of Shuu.
