[Introduction]
Akutsu, an elderly inmate serving life in prison, is on the verge of a lonely death in his solitary cell. The voice mocking him belongs to a balsam flower with an uncanny ability to talk. Through their 'conversation,' Akutsu begins to reflect on his past. 1987, summer. In a town by the sea, down-and-out yakuza Akutsu moves into a shabby apartment found for him by his sworn brother, Tsutsumi. Out in the yard, a balsam flower grows. Akutsu shares his new home with Nana, a woman six years his junior, and her newborn son Kensuke. From their veranda, they watch a massive fireworks display. The three of them live happily, until Akutsu suddenly finds himself in need of a huge sum of money, which leads him to join Tsutsumi in an attempt to rob their own organization's safe of 300 million yen...

“You gotta hit a dead end to get a chance to turn it around.”

This is the tale of one man's life, and the ones he loves.

Takahiro Tamano is directing the series at SynergySP.

[Introduction]
If there’s one thing you can never have enough of in a world of RPG-style swords and sorcery, it’s magic points! Whether you’re fueling spells, techniques, or showing off an incredible ability, you’ve gotta spend those points to do real damage. But what if you run out?

Lent is part of the up-and-coming party known as the “Skypiercers,” and thanks to his unique Gift, he can loan massive amounts of magic to others. No MP? No problem with Lent around! Except, now that his companions have become formidable heroes (thanks to his skill), his usefulness is questioned. Kicked out of the group, Lent is furious…until he discovers a hidden power to his Gift. Now, with his adorably devious fairy partner, he’s going to claw back every last scrap of magic from his former party—with interest!
