Synopsis

The "Labyrinth" is an expansive underground space where humans live in clusters known as "colonies." Over time, the surface has become a distant memory, even perhaps only a fantasy to those who have never experienced its wonders. To ensure humanity's survival in the harsh underground conditions, colony citizens can take on various specialized jobs. These include "Workers," who mine precious ore to fuel the colonies, and "Markers," who journey into the Labyrinth's surprisingly lush environment to gather information that eases navigation. However, humanity also faces a threat to its existence—creatures called "kaijuu" whose sizes range from that of a small child to an enormous building, and are hostile to any human they see. Moreover, large enough kaijuu can force their way into the colonies, further increasing their threat level. Memenpu is a nine-year-old college graduate whose inventions have greatly benefited the Workers in her local colony. Recently, however, she has been dreaming of a place with a never-ending ceiling not bound by bedrock. These aspirations fuel her desire to become a Marker and explore the Labyrinth's vast unknown in search of such a fantastical place. Despite her father Gagumber's vehement disagreement, a certain incident with the kaijuu jumpstarts a dangerous yet exciting adventure that will surely alter humanity's course forever.
