Introduction:
The first theatrical feature-length animation project by animator Genshō Yasuda, who boasts over 6 million total followers on social media platforms including YouTube and TikTok, has finally begun!
Genshō Yasuda, who has gained praise both domestically and internationally for his independently produced 3D short animations, music videos, and corporate promotional animations, is directing this project. It is a completely original work made with full 3DCG, delivering "300% Genshō Yasuda purity." The crowdfunding campaign conducted for the production surpassed the target by over 230%, proving the overwhelming popularity and international attention.

The story takes place in the near future: Akira Mizutamari, a scientific genius who succeeded in developing and commercializing SALT, a robot that supports people's lives, finds himself stuck in a rut when all of his new inventions fail. After hearing from a friend that he can "power up" by creating a girlfriend, he does literally that and scientifically creates an "artificial" girlfriend named "No. Zero". Torn between her programmed emotions and her growing feelings, No. Zero starts to waver. Is it "love" that buds between her and Akira, who is unaccustomed to communicating with others, or perhaps something else......?

The fascinating characters for this story are played by Atsumi Tanezaki (No. Zero), who has shown her ability to transform from one character to another in roles such as Anya in "SPY x FAMILY" and Frieren in "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End", and Shun Horie (Akira Mizutamari), who has been selected for leading roles in various popular works, including Kyoutarou Ichikawa in "The Dangers in My Heart". Genshō Yasuda's unpredictable super-new cyber love suspense animation is now coming to the world ────!
