| Summary | In a smoke-choked Osaka, where greed suffocates humanity and corruption taints the air, idealistic reformer Kagawa Toyohiko finds himself unexpectedly named mayor. Driven by a vivid, prophetic dream, he declares an audacious war: the "Conquest of the Sky," vowing to cleanse his city of its deadly soot. But this is no ordinary political battle. Kagawa's fight for clean air spirals into a surreal odyssey, pitting him against "beastly" city councilors, ruthless industrialists, and shadowy forces that prefer darkness. As he proposes fantastical solutions—from aerial cities to human transformation machines—his grip on reality blurs. Persecuted, imprisoned, and facing crucifixion, Kagawa risks everything. The fate of Osaka, and perhaps the very nature of humanity, hangs in the balance as the line between reality and illusion irrevocably dissolves. |
