Overview

With pissed-off Pikachus, steam punk armies, stood-up Sailor Moons and rollerblading monsters on the prowl, it's easy to get lost in the Inferno-esque anime convention where the fans, the otakus and the geeks prowl.

But when the dark nature of their quest breaks through the fantasy of these girls cosplaying, they find that no game can mask the deep loss they’ve recently shared... unless they truly discover who they are.
