Otona Taisen begins with the protagonist, Yutaro Urashima, a young man who once pledged to live by his self-imposed “Adult Constitution” in pursuit of becoming an ideal adult. However, after a sudden accident, Yutaro falls into a coma and awakens 15 years later at the age of 30. To his shock, the world he wakes up to has drastically changed—his once-personal ideals of being a “proper adult” have been adopted as universal societal rules. The world has become a hierarchical surveillance society, where every individual's actions are constantly monitored, evaluated, and scored. These scores determine one’s social status, rights, and privileges. In this dystopian system, Yutaro finds himself at odds with the very philosophy he once championed. He must now navigate the tension between righteousness and freedom, and fight for survival in a world that rigidly enforces moral correctness. What unfolds is a compelling and dynamic drama about adulthood, social control, and the struggle to reclaim one’s own beliefs in a society obsessed with perfection.
