Synopsis

Mahiru Kozuki is a very ordinary high school girl. She used to be active as an illustrator ‘KAIZUKI Yoru’, but was completely swept away by her surroundings and became a mass-produced girl. One day, Mahiru meets a mysterious girl, Yamanouchi Kanon, in Shibuya at night when Halloween is approaching. Mahiru is somewhat attracted to her, who says she likes pictures of jellyfish – a trauma that continues to haunt her in Shibuya. In order to follow her own love, Kanon, who works as an anonymous singer, uses this special encounter as an opportunity to invite Mahiru to join her.
