Argument

Shuuzou "Shuu" Matsutani leads a seemingly ordinary life, finding solace in his friendships, a budding romance, and his unwavering passion for the art of kendo. However, his world takes an unexpected turn when he suffers a disheartening defeat at the hands of his formidable kendo rival. Seeking solace atop a towering smokestack, Shuu's gaze meets that of Lala-Ru, a serene girl with lustrous blue locks and an enigmatic pendant adorning her neck. Although her responses seem disinterested and insipid, Shuu remains determined to forge a connection with her. But fate has far greater plans in store for them when a mysterious woman, accompanied by two sinister serpent-like contraptions, materializes out of thin air, fixated on capturing Lala-Ru. Out of sheer determination, Shuu leaps into action, fueled by a desire to rescue his newfound companion from the clutches of her assailants. In an instant, they are whisked away to a desolate and otherworldly expanse that defies Shuu's imagination. However, even in the face of such extraordinary circumstances, Shuu's unwavering devotion remains fixated on the safety and well-being of Lala-Ru. Unfortunately, this noble quest takes an unexpected turn when he finds himself pummeled by soldiers, fully realizing that Lala-Ru possesses the extraordinary ability to manipulate water—a precious and scarce resource in their harsh new environment. With the pendant lost and an unjust finger pointed at him, Shuu must navigate the treacherous landscape of war, endure unimaginable suffering, and confront unimaginable horrors, all in the name of saving the solitary girl he chanced upon atop that towering smokestack. Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku embodies a haunting tale set in a dystopian world—a narrative that delves deep into the depths of humanity's struggle for survival. Against a backdrop of torture, hunger, and the sinister specter of war, Shuu's unwavering determination and unwavering commitment to protect the lonely girl he met in the most unlikely of circumstances will captivate your senses and leave an indelible mark on your soul.
