Synopsis[]
After failing his college entrance exams, 18 year-old Tsukasa Mizugaki is offered a position at the renowned SAI Corporation due to his father’s connections. SAI Corporation is known for its production and management of androids that possess human emotions called Giftia.
Tsukasa’s position is in the Terminal Service department where the main job is to recover Giftias that are close to their expiration, a graveyard department in every sense. To make matters worse, Tsukasa is ordered to work with Isla, a female Giftia whose only responsibility has been serving tea to co-workers.
Isla is initially withdrawn and indifferent to her partner, but as she and Tsukasa go on retrieval after retrieval and grow closer to each other, a deeper relationship is formed between them. As the two fulfill their responsibility to rip apart memories, they discover what it means to make memories of their own—no matter the cost.
