Description:

Akayama Seiji is a devoted staff at a children’s care home, where he lives and shares meals together with orphaned children, nurturing their dreams and aspirations. One day, a violent attack leaves him in a coma, and when he awakens, 20 years have passed. The care home he once cherished vanished without a trace. What happened during those 20 years? And where are the children once filled with hopes and dreams? During Akayama’s absence, the five individuals who once found sanctuary at the care home have grown up, their childhood dreams crushed under the oppressive rule of Dream Inc., a corporation that controls society. Deceived, exploited, and teetering on the edge of despair, they struggle to find meaning in a world that has stripped away their hopes. Yet, Akayama has a secret past as “The Vulture,” a ruthless genius investor renowned for his cutthroat tactics.
