人類の絶滅 - Human Extinction
In 2029, the world teeters on the edge of chaos.
Ikigai, a reserved 17-year-old high schooler with an enigmatic past, wakes to an ordinary day that quickly spirals into a nightmare. His loyal dog, Hachiko, senses it first-a warning in the wind that leads him into the heart of an unfolding apocalypse. Giant humanoid creatures wreak havoc, people flee in terror, and the sky itself seems to tremble under the weight of an unspeakable threat.
But the real shock comes when Ikigai discovers his parents aren't who he thought they were. Transformed into superhuman warriors, they battle the monstrous intruders, leaving Ikigai grappling with secrets that could shatter his reality. Amidst the chaos lies a sinister truth: an ancient, grotesque eye buried at the North Pole-a force pulling the strings behind the destruction.
With the world crumbling around him, Ikigai must confront his past, uncover his destiny, and decide whether to run or rise against the extinction of humanity.
Perfect for fans of Attack on Titan and Classroom of the Elite, Human Extinction is a thrilling anime-inspired tale packed with suspense, action, and mysteries that will keep you hooked until the very end.
