70 Oku no Hari

A teenage girl who prefers solitude and often wears headphones, Hikaru Takabe appears distant to her peers. This detachment becomes significant when she gets caught up in a cosmic chase. Nobuaki Tadano's first project reimagines the concept of alien invasion, drawing inspiration from Hal Clement's classic science fiction novel *Needle*. The story blends this sci-fi premise with the everyday setting of a Japanese high school.
