Hiiro no Marionetta

Following the tragic death of Erika, the woman he deeply loved, Jeanie is left adrift in a world devoid of meaning. Once a passionate artist celebrated for his breathtaking paintings of blue skies, he has completely lost his creative drive and any desire to continue living. Consumed by grief, he views his own existence as nothing more than an empty burden, waiting only for an end that might finally reunite him with his lost love. His desolate life takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious girl named Coppelia suddenly appears before him. Her arrival raises unsettling questions about her true nature and intentions. She may be a shinigami, a spiritual guide sent to grant his silent wish and lead his soul to the afterlife where Erika awaits. However, a darker possibility looms over their encounter. Coppelia might instead be something far more sinister—a dangerous marionette harboring her own hidden motives for seeking his life. As Jeanie stands at the fragile boundary between despair and the unknown, he must confront whether this enigmatic visitor represents his long-awaited salvation or a deadly deception.
