A familiar yet foreign world where Tokyo Tower has just been completed and Odaiba’s international exhibition center is still under construction. The Shunin, a low-ranking local public official, is assigned to a mysterious institution known as the Special District Office. It turns out to be an agency responsible for overseeing the administrative affairs of magicians living in Tokyo while concealing their true identities.
The Shunin becomes the public official assigned exclusively to the magicians of Tokyo. They alone are tasked with handling the city’s various magician- related incidents. Beneath the city lights, people still speak of dreams and magic. This is a world that resembles our own yet advances along a different path. Another story is about to begin.
Lastly, Astrae Oratio will release for iOS and Android at some point in 2026.
