Giant monsters have become a regular occurrence in Japan, threatening people's lives.

Kaneko is also unexpectedly selected as a pilot to fly the monsters. What is work? What is work and why do people work? Will Kaneko be able to complete his mission while questioning the meaning of work?

Uehara Keita's comments
I never thought that my original manga work, which was at the level of a doodle, would be transformed into such a splendid visual work. I would like to thank all the staff members who worked hard day and night in the midst of all these first attempts, and all the voice actors who gave wonderful performances.

My thoughts on the work:
I used to work for an advertising company for about 8 years before I started writing manga. I have put into this work the conflicts I felt then and the answers I have found over the past 8 years that I could not fully digest. I would like anyone who is currently feeling insecure about their job or having trouble dealing with their work to see this work. Also, please pay attention to the great theme song sung by KOTORI, which is in perfect sync with the world of the work!
