Series Synopsis
Adrift in an endless sea of sand is the giant vessel, the Mud Whale. For the past hundred years, this wandering island has lost contact with the world. Nevertheless, a flourishing society has taken hold. A society that consists of two types of people.
There are the Marked who can move objects using a mysterious power known as thymia. But this comes at the cost of a shorter life. Then there are the Unmarked. Though these people are unable to use thymia, they enjoy a much longer lifespan.
Chakuro (voiced by Natsuki Hanae) is one of the marked and has an obsessive desire to write. He hopes to leave a record of his people in the small amount of time he has. Though trapped in isolation, his life on the Mud Whale is a happy one.
Then the unbelievable happens. The people of the Mud Whale spot another island. While exploring this new land, Chakuro finds something he has never seen before, a fellow human being not from his home. This girl (voiced by Manaka Iwami) appears to be the sole survivor of an unknown battle. And the only thing she has with her is the name Lykos.
