MAGATSU NOTE: Neo Futuristic Sengoku meets Dark Rock Music

MAGATSU NOTE

Japan’s Warring States gets a neo-futuristic twist in the ambitious dark mixed media project, MAGATSU NOTE.

Introduction

MAGATSU NOTE is an original mixed media project created by DONUTS Co. Ltd.. It features character designs by Kazuki Yone (Hakuoki and Hiiro no Kakera).

According to DONUTS Co. Ltd., this project has a near-future Sengoku (Warring States) concept crossed with a dark story, music, and manga.

The cast brings to the spotlight several big names in the seiyuu industry including rising talents.

Synopsis

The year is 2222.

The main character, Masamune, is an agent (executive officer) of the ARK Audit Bureau.

He was tasked with exterminating the “harmful human beings” who committed crimes in the cathedral.

Then one day, Masamune broke into the city from the Liberation Zone.

He encountered Hideyoshi, a warlord, and violently exchanged swords with him.

Then, with that call, Masamune’s “causality” begins to turn around.

Like rolling down toward the “despair” that awaits you at the end.
