Synopsis
An era of salt damage where salt fills the world. Salt was steadily swallowing the city and trying to destroy society. A man and a girl living in Tokyo on the verge of collapse. The man's name is Akiba, and the girl's name is Mana. Various people go too far in front of the two who live quietly. Sometimes it's gentle, sometimes it's intense, and sometimes it's shallow. While seeing it off, something was beginning to change between them. And- "Do you want to save the world?" A man whispering intriguingly brings fate to them.
