Humanity, having faced extinction at the end of the 20th century, would not have entered the new millennium if it weren't for them. In 1969, during their youth, they created a symbol. In 1997, as the coming disaster slowly starts to unfold, that symbol returns. This is the story of a group of boys who try to save the world.
Rated T+ for Older Teen; recommended for ages 16 and up. This volume contains mature themes and graphic violence.
Translated from the Japanese.
