Synopsis
Songs are magic – they can change the world and their destiny.
A world where human civilization was devastated by a major disaster that occurred seven years ago.
Kamitsubaki City, which was a research city for advanced science, was undergoing a miraculous recovery by making full use of these technologies.
However, behind the prosperity, the monster “Teseracter”, born from human malice and desire, is causing strangeness in the city.
The only thing that can resist the monster born out of malice is the singing voices of five girls called “The Witch’s Daughters.” In order to protect the peace of the city, they challenge Teseractor using their magical singing voices as weapons.
The story of girls who are fated begins in a city left behind in a broken world!
