The story

The stage is set in the afterlife, where young boys and girls stand up against their own destiny. The story follows Otonashi, a young man who met his end due to certain circumstances and awakens in a high school within this mysterious world. There, he encounters a girl named Yuri, the leader of the "Afterlife Battlefront"—an organization rebelling against God for the unfair lives they were forced to endure. They wage fierce battles day and night against a single, lovely girl known as "Angel," a servant of God. Having lost all memories of his previous life, Otonashi is left completely bewildered, unable to grasp what is happening in this post-mortem world. Ultimately, he chooses to join the cause and fight alongside Yuri and her companions to uncover the truth of their existence.
