SANDA

In a stark future where children are a rare and precious resource, the festive spirit of Christmas has faded into myth. At the Daikoku Welfare Academy, a tightly controlled boarding school, students are shielded from the past. Yet, a terrifying legend persists among adults: the figure of Santa Claus is a dangerous threat, hunted by a specialized police unit.

The story follows Kazushige Sanda, an ordinary student whose life is shattered when his classmate, Shiori Fuyumura, violently confronts him. She is desperate to find her missing best friend and is convinced Sanda is the key—believing him to be the descendant of the infamous Santa Claus. Now thrust into a dangerous conspiracy, Sanda must confront a hidden legacy he never knew, all while navigating a world where the greatest wishes come at a terrifying price.
