Shōji Kawamori, best known for the Macross and Aquarion series, is also serving as the theme project producer for the upcoming Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai. His latest work, LABYRiNTH, is a pop-tinged, slightly horror-infused isekai escape drama. The story draws on signature Kawamori elements music, science fiction, and love triangles while weaving in the modern-day necessity of a certain smartphone that plays a central role in the narrative.
OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS:
Shiori is an ordinary high school girl yearning for viral fame on social media. One day after a crack forms on her smartphone, her real-life self is replaced by her digital counterpart, “SHIORI,” who emerges from the smartphone world. Trapped in the smartphone world instead, Shiori is powerless and forced to watch as her counterfeit self energetically rises to stardom as a pop icon and influencer. With the help of Komori, a mysterious rabbit-man she meets in this digital wonderland, Shiori must navigate an eerie and surreal cyber labyrinth to get back to her reality.
