Reader Warning: This graphic novel contains dark fantasy violence, questionable zombies, and an adorable talking robot.
One day, with absolutely no warning or explanation, all islanders from the isolated isle of Imporia disintegrate by the unwelcomed appearance of a star-shaped ribbon in the sky. This compilation of eerily floating cloth, known as the Astra, exterminates and deprives the very meaning of life – sending everything and anything within its vast radius into the depths of hell.
In this frozen afterlife, an empty colorless void reclaims the now graveyard-like island until one fateful moment in time, a mischievous zombified lady named Ophelia is born into the limbo by mysterious methods.
Trapped in this now timeless world governed by the silent astral appendages, Ophelia gracefully begins to start her new life where she can finally avoid the impending doom of death and peacefully live for the rest of eternity.
Unfortunately, to Ophelia’s dismay, the Astra hosts an insidious game known as the election.
This promises the last-standing survivor of the void to be granted another chance at happiness – a limitless wish that could reshape the entire universe for the champion’s deepest desires. Because of this, a handful of islanders that wear colored scarfs are revived and must compete to keep their personal afterlife or return to their eternal slumber. On top of the alarming news regarding this blood-thirsty competition, victims of the election soon find out that wearing specific colors dictates how much time remains the wearer has in this void.
To make matters even worse, one of the first islanders Ophelia encounters is Volt, an empty-minded parasite who seemingly is engineered to become the Astra’s preferred champion.
Not only is he superior due to his agile movements, and strong paralyzing attacks, but would much rather urge for the Astra to vanish in exchange to return the world to the way it once was – a fleet that’ll lead Ophelia to permanently perish. While he has no qualms to remain in this void where struggles such as hungry and sleep don’t exist, he will not hesitate to get his chance at happiness – even if it means taking it by brute force.
In a battle of impulse and bronze, Ophelia doesn’t stand a chance against Volt and his iron-will for returning the world back to its proper order. But with her prophetic predictions and a bit of help from the other roaming survivors who equally face the same fate as Ophelia, perhaps she might be able to create a much-needed loophole…
