Introduction

We are people whose fates are determined by the "Tome of Destiny," which dictates what roles we shall play from birth until death.

Each person is given a tome when they are born. It is our fate to act out the script—the "Tome of Destiny"—for our entire lives. However, a boy named Ex was born with the "Blank Tome," an empty slate. He meets others born with "Blank Tomes"—Reina, Tao, and Shane—and together, they embark on a journey to find their own purpose. This is a fairy tale, told a countless number of times.

Character Names & Descriptions

Ex

Voice: Ryota Osaka

A boy living in the Fantasy World who holds the "Blank Tome." He was raised without any particular destiny to speak of, but embarks on a journey to create his own destiny after meeting Reina and the others. He can conjure up the "Wild Card" that is able to connect the souls of all heroes.

Reina

Voice: Reina Ueda

A girl called the "Tuning Maiden." She is able to "tune" the Chaos teller, and has the power to return the Fantasy World to its former glory. She has a special power called "Miniature Garden Kingdom," and her past is a mystery.

Tao

Voice: Takuya Eguchi

A big-hearted and free-spirited young man who calls Reina "milady," he accompanies her on her journey to "tune" the Chaos teller. He has made a pact of siblings with Shane, and he calls the team the "Tao Family."

Shane

A girl who is like a little sister to Tao.
