Furthermore touching on various more complex aspects that build diversity including the differences of race, nationality, gender, religion and fundamental values.

Summary

In the distant future, earth’s environment has transformed dramatically from its state in the 21st century. A group of survivors remains on a small island in the far east known as Fujiyama—the peak of Mt. Fuji, formerly known for its impressive 3776m height. As a result, all kinds of beings have gathered there, seeking a place to live, including humans, beast men, animals, supernatural creatures, monsters, and more. Therefore begins an interspecies conflict in which each group draws on their own language as well as culture in a battle for a home, and for justice on top of their own continued existence.
