Synopsis

Somewhere in another “now” – a world that has finally
eradicated war among nations, and where private contractors enlist fighter pilots known as Kildren to perform in an endless war that people can watch on screen. Kildren don’t age and live in a state of eternal adolescence until they die in action.
When pilot Yuichi Kannami arrives to his new airbase, the only things he recalls are that he’s a Kildren and how to operate a fighter plane. Base commander Suito Kusanagi behaves as if she’s been impatiently waiting for him. What does Suito know about Yuichi’s past?
