Titan Manga<\/a> released<\/a> the manga’s first volume in English starting on September 9, and it describes the manga:<\/p>\n

In a near-future Japan, Christmas has faded into myth, and the birth rate has dropped so dramatically that children are now the most precious commodity.

Together, they embark on an incredible adventure to unravel the truth behind Ichie’s disappearance and uncover the hidden magic of Christmas itself.<\/p>\n

As they delve deeper into the mystery, the duo faces external threats and internal challenges\u2014questions about loyalty, courage, and the power of belief. Along the way, they confront the true meaning of friendship, trust, and the possibility of magic in a world that has all but forgotten it.<\/p>\n
