▍Synopsis
The original anime is set on an artificial island floating in Tokyo Bay, an outlaw place known as the “24th Ward.” Ran, Koki, and Shuta are childhood friends born and raised on the island, but one tragic incident dragged them apart.
At a memorial ceremony one year after the incident, the three happen to meet again, and all of their phones start to ring at once. The phone call is from a friend they thought was dead, urging them to “choose the future.” Though each young man has their own believes, they have a common goal to protect the future of their hometown.
