ファーストペンギン・レクイエム
Kino and Azu are two girls known as Leaders, individuals forced to confront the Kaii—mysterious, lurking entities that threaten humanity. They are the first penguins, a term for those who must dive into danger to protect others, yet they know nothing of their own origins. Each day, they set out on missions where death waits around every corner, dreaming of the day they will finally be free.
Bound by a fate they never chose, Kino and Azu hunt the Kaii in a world where the unseen hides in the depths. As they face one perilous encounter after another, their only hope is to survive long enough to uncover the truth behind their existence and break free from the endless cycle of sacrifice.
