| Summary | In 1947, young Kosugi Masakichi entered cryogenic sleep, dreaming of a future two decades away. He awakens in 1977 to a world thirty years beyond his wildest imaginings. Cities have vanished from the surface, replaced by atomic watchtowers and vibrant underground metropolises. Earth lives under the shadow of past wars and the chilling prospect of alien invasion, forcing humanity to unite against cosmic threats. Plunged into this bewildering reality, Masakichi grapples with strange technologies and the mystery of his vanished uncle. His journey catapults him from a transformed Tokyo to the desolate lunar surface, where an unexpected civilization lurks, and ultimately toward the red deserts of Mars. Enigmatic structures rise, and the true identity of humanity’s cosmic neighbors hangs in the balance. Can a boy from the past find his footing in a future both terrifying and wondrous? |
