9-nine-:Episode 3

When campus nobody Seiji is attacked by unhinged space demons, it’s his classroom crush Yuuri who shows up to save the day! Her magical-girl powers easily vanquish the enemy, but a surprise ambush forces her to dive in harm’s way to shield him—leaving both fatally wounded. Luckily, Miss Fujiko arrives on the scene with an enchanted thread to bind both their life forces, saving them from certain death.

Over the next three months as Seiji and Yuuri slowly recover, the pair are on doctor’s orders to stay within one meter of each other or risk snapping their “red string of fate.” This means shacking up together and pretending to be a couple to avoid their classmates’ suspicions, but despite the clueless Yuuri claiming to be a “one-woman fortress with zero openings,” her natural powers of seduction quickly result in awkward situations that test poor Seiji’s sanity and self-control...

With his dream girl only centimeters away at every waking moment, will Seiji finally summon the courage to shoot his shot?

Asougi City, on the Seto Inland Sea, is dominated by the corporation whose name it now shares.
The Asougi Group ordains every aspect of the citizens' lives, but as those everyday lives are peaceful, few people object or question it at all.

Only one thing disturbs the city's harmonic order: the activities of the "Anti-Aso" hunting clans, who snatch people off the streets by force and then hustle their bodies on those same streets to customers.

The Anti-Aso struggle, the suits plot their removal, and all the while the impending Founder's Birthday Ceremony accelerates tensions everywhere.
And the balance in the city begins to shift, grinding people to dust in its motion...

Live, die, live again.

A few people awoke in an unknown place.
All of them, strangers to each other, are supposed to be dead.

Amid their confusion, a mysterious entity offers to extend their life with a single, non-negotiable condition: they must eradicate various specters in this world. Only the resurrected, such as themselves, could perceive and eliminate these otherwise imperceptible apparitions.

Their revival, however, has its side effects; an abnormally strong libido, the persistent dread of an unpredictable call to battle, and the constant terror of their borrowed time running out.

Still followed by the clutches of death, their cruel daily existence was about to begin...

Kyoichi Akikawa lost his family in a devastating plane crash when he was just a child.

"Will it really come someday?"
"Will the day ever come when I can truly move on from this pain?"

Kyoichi's stepsister Shizuku Akikawa has supported him all this time, while Yukitsuki Asaka bears a striking resemblance to Kyoichi's beloved older sister from before the tragedy.

As the paths of these three fated individuals converge, a mechanical god appears...

This is a story that heads towards the future.
