What defines a genuine, upright adult? Driven by his late father's core maxim to live with unshakable integrity, high school student Yutaro Urashima devised a strict personal code called the "Adult Constitution." He documented precise ethical tenets designed to govern maturity, empathy, and social responsibility. However, after throwing himself in front of a speeding truck to rescue a cat, Yutaro suffers catastrophic injuries and falls into a deep fifteen-year coma.

Miraculously regaining consciousness at age thirty, Yutaro awakens to discover modern Tokyo transformed beyond recognition. His personal notebook did not vanish; instead, an opportunist named Isamu Kuroda weaponized the "Adult Constitution" into a nationwide totalitarian social scoring mechanism called "Garden". In this oppressive society, human worth, legal rights, and housing are governed strictly by Adult Class rankings. Public approval ratings dictate whether a person thrives or is ostracized. Allied with cynical investigative reporter Shinobu Inukai and cafe worker Misato Otohime, Yutaro enters the cutthroat elite corridors of Minato Ward to dismantle the political machine distorting his lifelong beliefs.

What to Expect

War Of The Adults shifts away from physical brawls to deliver intense psychological warfare, social engineering, and high-stakes political maneuvering. Pacing builds methodically around information trade, digital surveillance leaks, and media manipulation. As Yutaro navigates the oppressive ranks of the Garden app, the narrative challenges philosophical dogmas regarding compliance, herd mentality, and individual autonomy.
