Synopsis

Shuuzou Matsutani is your average high school guy—he's got friends, a girlfriend he's chasing, and he's really into kendo. After taking a brutal loss in a match, he climbs up a smokestack to clear his head and catch the sunset. That's where he meets Lala-Ru, a quiet girl with blue hair and a weird pendant around her neck. She's not exactly friendly, but Shuu decides to befriend her anyway. Then everything goes to hell. A woman shows up out of nowhere with two mechanical snake things, dead set on kidnapping Lala-Ru. Shuu, stubborn as they come, tries to fight back and save her—and gets pulled into a completely different world. It's a desert wasteland, nothing like anything he's ever seen, but he doesn't care. He just wants to get Lala-Ru back. That changes real quick when soldiers beat the crap out of him. He learns Lala-Ru can control water through that pendant of hers, which is basically gold in a place this dry. But then the pendant goes missing, and everyone's pointing fingers at Shuu. What follows is a brutal story about a dystopian world and one stubborn kid who has to survive torture, starvation, and the horrors of war just to save a lonely girl he barely knows.
