Although the orphanage wasn't the best, the three protagonists—Emma, Norman, and Ray—lived a peaceful and happy everyday life. However, one day that life came to an end… What is the cruel twist of fate that await these children…?! The manga was nominated for the 10th Manga Taisho awards earlier this year.
