Gossip, track meets, squabbles with mom… Upbeat Yuri’s not ready for high school to be over, but graduation looms on the horizon. One afternoon on her walk home, a flying mass swallows up the sky, raining destruction upon all she can see. The place Yuri later wakes up in is quiet; the lone being there with her is a man in a lab coat. As social ritual and organic matter unravel around the girl, desolation threatens her singular goal: returning home. (Source: Kodansha USA)
