Synopsis

Thirty years ago, on the border of Asia and Europe, a strange phenomenon called "Space Earthquake" devastated the center of Eurasia, taking with it the lives of more than 150 million people. In the next 5 years, minor spacequakes occurred around the world, but mostly in Japan. After that, they stopped for 25 years. Shido Itsuka, a seemingly normal high school student meets a girl in the epicenter of the city after a new spacequake. He is informed by his sister, Kotori, that this girl is one of the "spirits" (beings from another dimension) that when they reach the earth they make a place explode, and said explosion is what they call "space earthquake".
