This is a gut-wrenching story fueled by both hope and despair. The story follows Riko and Reg, who live in a fascinating world with a deep, strange abyss at the center of it all. Hardly anyone returns from the deeper levels alive because ascending can affect someone worse than a diver’s decompression sickness. Riko’s mother goes missing, and the couple goes off to find her and uncover the mysteries of the abyss. This show might appear cute and sweet at the outset; however, it is not meant for the faint of heart.
