This series drops on October 7, 2025, featuring Vesperbell performing the opening “Issen” and Bonnie Pink wrapping up the season with the ending song “Like Gravity.”
Rather than recklessly charging into combat, Akira’s assassin skills allow him to remain unseen while he investigates the enigmatic circumstances surrounding this summoning. It turns out that being unnoticed and overpowered has its advantages over being the so-called hero, especially when critical thinking is applied.
