Synopsis

Information has been all around us, long before the age of data in the 21st century. It creates consciousness. It enables magic. Moreover, information about disasters and tragedies gave birth to four entities. The four horsemen.

Death is one of them. After staying dormant for 30 years, she found herself in an unrecognizable world, in a Tokyo transformed by information technology, where magic is no longer a secret. And as humans wield the new power of data, they can even conjure magic on their own.

Landing inside the mind of a passionate journalist named Midorikawa Karasuya, Death is confronted with a new world where whoever controls the data can command reality through magic.
