Plot

A group of 30 young men and women go on a bus tour to Nanaki Village, a shadowy village with an urban legend of being a utopia. Many seek either to start a new life or escape the troubles of their old one. Upon arrival, they discover the village has no inhabitants, with small signs of life that are slowly deteriorating. The truth of Nanaki Village has yet to be discovered.

Characters

Mitsumune (光宗): Voiced by: Kōdai Sakai^[4]; A seemingly naïve, gullible and optimistic boy who joined the Nanakimura Village tour because he was tired of his overprotective and emotionally abusive mother. Because he attended an all-boys school, he rarely talks to girls and fears that he falls in love and gets manipulated too easily by other people. During his childhood, his twin brother Tokimune was killed in an accident and he had to take his name to help his mentally unstable mother recover. Ever since then, he's felt that his identity has been locked away.

Masaki (真咲): Voiced by: Yuka Aisaka^[4]; A mysterious and emotional girl on the tour whom Mitsumune takes upon himself to defend. When she was young she created an invisible character in her mind named "Reiji" to be her close friend and buddy with whom she could chat and spend time with. However, when she realized that she was the only one who could see and interact with Reiji, she started secluding and doubting herself. When she heard rumors about a village which can make your trauma take form and appear, she visits Nanakimura Village to ascertain herself that Reiji was real and to actually meet him. However, during the last episode Reiji appears as her Nanaki and explains to her that he was nothing more than a figment of her imagination created as a means of filling the loneliness inside her. Unable to accept reality, Masaki flees the area whilst Reiji tells Mitsumune to chase after her. When Mitsumune catches up to Masaki he tells her that he will take Reiji's place in her heart and be with her so she could share all her thoughts and feelings with him. Blushing upon these words she is finally able to accept that Reiji was an illusion, causing him to disappear from Nanakimura Village. Masaki is then finally able to leave alongside Mitsumune. It is implied that after the events of the series, Masaki and Mitsumune started dating.

Hayato (颯人): Voiced by: Taku Yashiro^[4]; Mitsumune's best friend who joined under the handle of Speedstar. He's calm, aloof, and pragmatic. He defended Mitsumune from bullies in school and reminds him to do whatever he tells him to avoid getting into trouble or standing out too much, acting as a defender for Mitsumune in return for his friendship. In actuality, Hayato is deeply possessive of Mitsumune, doing everything in his power to reinforce the idea that Mitsumune needs him due to his own feelings of powerlessness after years of physical and emotional abuse from his parents, who would beat and lock him up in their attic with a picture of his grandmother, who had died there after her senility began hurting the family's public image. He hates Masaki as he believes she is "seducing" Mitsumune away from him and even tries to murder her on one occasion to remove her from Mitsumune's life. He, unlike Mitsumune, joined the tour because he thinks that Nanakimura Village is just a hoax and wanted to prove it.

Koharun (こはるん): Voiced by: Kaoru Sakura^[4]; A woman working for the First Life Do-Over Tour who used much folklore, mythology and a mysterious email to pinpoint the location of the fabled Nanakimura Village.

Lion (リオン, Rion): Voiced by: Hiromi Igarashi^[4]; A quite and mysterious young girl in a yellow hoodie, she claims to be capable of seeing when people will die. She's very suspicious of Mitsumune, believing him to be a danger, and views everyone on the trip as being psychological powder kegs. Her distrust towards others is a result of the fact her mother abused her power in order to get rich quickly, using her ability to predict if someone is dying and forcing them to buy her expensive charms.

Lovepon (らぶぽん, Rabupon): Voiced by: Ai Kakuma^[4]; A girl obsessed with execution who claims to have joined the tour to protect her identity. Her obsession for execution comes from her traumatic childhood, where she and her mother would often be beaten up by her mother's monk lover, whom her mother only met to pay off the huge debts left behind by Lovepon's father.

Maimai (マイマイ): Voiced by: Ayaka Shimizu^[4]; A girl betrayed by her friends and boyfriend and wanted to go somewhere new to start fresh. She flirts with and teases Mitsumune because he reminds her of her ex-boyfriend, but she is infuriated when he tells her that he's not interested in her.

After Masaki excuses herself, Hayato tells Mitsumune about his past, how he was abused by his parents for even the slightest deviation from their plans for him.

Elsewhere, Nanko, Maimai and Lion find they were saved by Masaki's ex-partner, Reiji. Kamiyama and Reiji tell their respective groups about how Nanaki Village preys upon the dark secrets hidden within people's deepest psyches (the "Nanaki"), and only by facing them can they return to the real world, but abruptly cutting off the Nanaki within will lead to problems with their real bodies as well.

Mitsumune tries to re-enter the village but finds he cannot, as he had partially dealt with his own issues already. However, the bus driver arrives and takes both Mitsumune and Yottsun back to the village, but not before his own Nanaki tells Mitsumune that Reiji himself is a Nanaki.

While the group tries to run back to the village, Koharun chats with Kamiyama on a two-way radio. She turns out to be his daughter, looking for a way to revive his Nanaki to stop his rapid aging by creating a super-powerful Nanaki with the bus tour, though Kamiyama asks her to leave him be.
