Spoilers ahead

In the 24th century, Earth lies scarred and green, a plant-strewn wasteland born from an ecocide linked to genetically engineered trees that arrived centuries earlier. Japan has become a dystopia ruled by the Forest, a vast network of sapient trees controlled by the tree-like Druids, who regulate the planet’s water supply for both trees and humans. Agito, a spirited young boy, lives in Neutral City—a settlement carved from shattered skyscrapers at the forest’s edge—where he shares a tense coexistence with the trees and with his father Agashi whose own powers have pushed him toward a near-plantlike state.
