Happyend

In a near-future Tokyo, students find their every step controlled by an invasive surveillance network. As the system takes hold, friendships are tested – especially when not everyone resists oppression in the same way. 

Kou and Yuta, once inseparable best friends, find themselves drifting apart after a prank on the school principal triggers the installation of the authoritarian surveillance program. As Kou embraces frustrated activism and Yuta retreats into the ease of compliance, the divide between them deepens. Set against the pulse of underground Japanese techno, Neo Sora crafts a strikingly lucid dystopia – one that feels unsettlingly close – exploring the impact of technology on personal freedom and the many ways we choose to react.
