The teaser visual depicts the main characters, Satou Matsuzaka and Shio Kobe, embracing each other as they sink into the eerie darkness amidst twinkling stars. The two have somewhat peaceful expressions on their faces, but their wounded faces give off an atmosphere of friendship, but they are also hiding something that should not be touched.

The main character, Satou Matsuzaka, is played by Kana Hanazawa, a high school girl who will do anything to protect Shio's life; Shio Kobe, a girl who lives with Satou, is played by Misaki Hisano, who has played Momo Kawamoto in "March comes in like a lion" and Nanami Kasuga in "The Inferior Student of Magical High School"; and Asa Kobe, a boy who walks around distributing flyers and searching for Shio, who has gone missing.

I have been reading this work as a reader, and now I have the opportunity to play the role of Asahi. I hope to express the straight distortion of her love for "Shio" and hatred for "adults" with all my might.

Her love is sweet and painful.
Satou Matsuzaka has someone she loves. When she touches that person, she feels very sweet.
This must be "love. She thinks so. To protect this feeling, anything is permissible.
