Story
God began creating the world on Monday, and on Sunday he abandoned it.
15 years ago, when God abandoned the world, people ceased to be born and to die.
Ai is a 12 year old girl who inherited her departed mother's job of “grave keeper,” whose work is to grant peace to the dead who cannot die. She lived a quiet life with her kind adoptive parents and the other villagers, but one day, a young boy calling himself “Hampnie Hambart”, a man-eating toy, appeared in the village with a gun in his hands, forcing Ai to witness how cruel reality can be…

Ai
VA: Aki Toyosaki A grave keeper who helps the dead find peace, and a 12 year old little girl.

Hampnie Hambart
VA: Daisuke Namikawa An immortal boy who hunts the dead.
He can reset the wounds on his body by dying.
His incredible good looks and the way he mercilessly destroys the dead earned him the name “Man-eating toy” and the dead fear him.
He seems to be looking for a girl called “Alpha.”

Hampnie's classmate and his former best friend.
After his wife joined the dead and got destroyed by Hampnie, he lost his daughter as well.
He was in the middle of pursuing Hampnie to exact his revenge when he encounters Hampnie and Ai.
Normally he's a caring and softhearted person.

Scar
VA: Mamiko Noto A grave keeper who Ai and Hampnie met.
She's called “Scar” due to the scar running from her right brow to her eyelid.

Ulla Eulius Hecmatika
VA: Mikako Komatsu Princess of Ortus, the city where a million dead live.
