## Synopsis

Otonashi comes to consciousness in a strange purgatory shaped like a high school, with no memory of how he died. He's quickly recruited into the Afterlife Battlefront, a group of students waging a quirky war against a quiet girl they call Angel, all to resist disappearing into an unknown beyond. But as Otonashi learns why each member clings to this limbo, the antics give way to the aching regrets that brought them here. Careening from slapstick to gut-punch and back, it's a story about the unfinished business of being young and the peace that comes from finally letting go.
