Synopsis

Light and darkness, development and decline, glory and ruin—beneath the distorted order and peace brought by capitalism, only a handful of elites monopolize wealth, education, and safety in exclusive zones. Yet one man reaches in from the outside. His name is Funamiyoki Nagi. Born and raised in the slums, a man whose life seemed destined for failure, he one day obtains an invitation to paradise.

【ONE’S GIFT】 A right granted to only one young person per year, regardless of circumstances—admission to Sakuramoto Academy, an elite educational institution where only the chosen few are permitted to study. Graduation promises immense status, honor, and privilege. Before Nagi, who chases a reversal of fate, swirls negativity and conspiracy directed at this misfit who doesn’t belong. Standing in his way are the student council’s exceptional members—the elite academy’s charismatic president and heir to the noble family that controls Japan from the shadows, Isshiki Kaname; a master of aikido and tricky operative working on secret police assignments, Tateshina Eve; a rare engineering genius commanding overwhelming financial power, Yatō Kukuru. Alongside Tōri, his younger sister figure from his hometown, Nagi faces each day betting his survival and glory in this completely foreign high society.
