Synopsis
After keeping his feelings hidden for five years, high school student Taiju Ooki finally works up the courage to confess to Yuzuriha Ogawa. But just as he begins, a blinding green light engulfs Earth, instantly turning all of humanity into stone. Thousands of years later, Taiju wakes up to find the modern world completely gone, replaced by a nature-covered landscape of statues. He soon encounters the only other human he knows still alive: his science-obsessed friend Senkuu, who has been conscious for several months. Senkuu reveals his grand plan—to rebuild civilization from scratch using science. Combining Taiju's physical strength with Senkuu's intellect, they form a powerful duo and soon discover a way to revive those turned to stone. However, Senkuu's ambitious strategy faces obstacles when those who awaken challenge his ideas. Meanwhile, the true cause behind humanity's petrification remains a mystery.
