By the year 2999, only eleven cities remain on an Earth devastated by drastic climate change and a biochemical apocalypse that has driven women to extinction. For centuries, humanity’s survival has depended entirely on a single figure known as the Holy Mother, whose ova are harvested to produce genetically engineered offspring. The memory of women as ordinary members of society has vanished, replaced by a social order built around all-male families where relationships between men and adolescent boys have become the norm. The fragile stability of this world shatters when a terrorist named Grinja assassinates the Holy Mother. To prevent mass panic, the government deceives the devout and superstitious public by claiming she has merely shed her physical vessel and will soon be miraculously reborn. Behind closed doors, however, officials are desperately attempting to engineer a new being capable of giving birth. Amidst this turmoil, the narrative centers on Kira, who becomes entangled in a complex three-way relationship involving both Grinja and Ashijin, a young man who claims ownership over him. Distinguished by intricate plotting and meticulous world-building, the manga follows Kira’s compelling quest for freedom, serving as both a gripping personal journey and a profound symbol of resistance within a dystopian reality.
