content
The approximately 13-year-old Nai ( 无 ) lived as long as he can remember with the 18-year-old Karoku ( 嘉禄 ). But one day it disappeared. While searching for him, Nai only finds his bracelet between puddles of blood. As he continues to search, he meets the 15-year-old thief Gareki ( 花 礫 ) in an old property , who is just about to plunder it. Nai joins the intelligent Gareki, but the two are soon targeted by two organizations. On the one hand, they are being persecuted by Circus , a state organization that takes action against particularly dangerous criminals. On the other hand, there is Kafka , whose members secretly carry out forbidden genetic experiments.
