Okay, gather round, because this one's a doozy. Meet Arima Takuya, a regular student who's already dealing with enough teenage drama when his dad — a historian who apparently spent his career chasing down the weirdest research topics imaginable — just vanishes off the face of the Earth. No note, no forwarding address, no hey-son-went-to-get-milk-be-right-back Just poof. Gone. And Takuya's left sitting there like, great, do I file a missing person's report or just accept that my father has become one of his own research subjects?
Then summer vacation rolls around, and Takuya gets this absolutely bizarre package in the mail from his dad. Yes, from the missing dad. The man disappeared, but he's still sending packages like he's shopping on Amazon from whatever dimension he stumbled into. Along with the box comes a letter explaining — and I promise I'm not making this up — that there are multiple parallel worlds stacked on top of each other like some cosmic pancake stack. At this point, most rational people would call a therapist, but Takuya? He just kind of shrugs it off. Because when your dad's been studying this stuff for years, I guess parallel dimensions just feel like a Tuesday.
But then he discovers something inside that package — a device that can actually transport him between these alternate realities. Suddenly, the whole my-dad-is-missing situation takes a hard left turn from tragic to absolutely bonkers. Is his old man alive out there somewhere, hopping between worlds like a tourist with a very unconventional travel itinerary? And if so, which version of reality is he stuck in? Takuya now has to jump through dimension after dimension searching for answers, and each world he visits is weirder than the last. It's like the world's most stressful scavenger hunt, and the grand prize is finding out whether dear old dad is still breathing.
