What is Mebius Dust about?
Back in 2019, the winners of the Project Anima contest were announced. Hajime Shinagawa’s story Mebius Dust, which won the Kids/Game category, was tentatively slated for sometime after 2020. However, it took more than six years to finally come into being.
ASMIK Ace describes the story as (machine translated):
Araki, Stella, and Olga are high school students living in a downtown area.
They play video games, go to the public bath, and go home.
This is the story of their everyday lives… or is there more to it?
