The chosen one
The story juxtaposes the grand mission of saving the Earth with the characters' personal feelings. The chosen ones do not only fulfill a clear mission: they must also face those they cherish, and the choice to give up others to preserve some things. The creators summarized the creative starting point as the relationship between love and sacrifice, as well as the coldness people may show for what they love.
Alternating perspectives
The web serialization switches perspectives chapter by chapter, for example, after the first chapter of the Akira arc, the story moves into the first chapter of the Airos arc. Different characters in the same situation know different things, so readers need to piece together the information from each chapter to understand the emotions the characters have yet to express. Cypher is also an important character introduced in the early official introduction.
