Animism, the belief that objects, places, and creatures all possess a distinctive spiritual essence, has been around for thousands of years. People who could see, perceive, control, and wield Anima, known as Animists, have existed to maintain balance and order in both the natural and modern world. But with the indomitable speed at which society is “developing”, the world has found itself in a never-before seen imbalance, and symptoms – such as diseases, the climate crisis, natural disasters, violence, poverty, inequality – are starting to worsen at an alarming rate. What’s more, rogue animists are starting to make their move, taking advantage of the imbalance to start an Anima warfare known as The Reset. Animists under The Natural Order need to prepare and act – fast. Meanwhile, Hiroto Chidou, a 16 year old high school student who has always been considered “gifted” by his community, has fully awakened his Animist abilities in the aftermath of a natural disaster. His awakening was discovered by The Natural Order, and so he is brought to The Great Forest, one of the four global headquarters of The Natural Order, masquerading itself as the Morikuni Science Academy – one of Japan’s top educational institutions and producers of renowned experts in the field of natural science.
