About Kubikiri Cycle: The Blue Savant and the Nonsense User

Kubikiri Cycle: The Blue Savant and the Nonsense User (クビキリサイクル 青色サヴァンと戯言遣い) blends drama, mystery and psychological by Shaft (2016). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The premise: It's the vacation of a lifetime, a trip to a remote island filled with geniuses–and murder. On Wet Crow's Feather Island, a tiny speck in the Sea of Japan, lives Akagami Iria, the exiled daughter of a formidable family.

More of the story: Born into great wealth, she was a princess of the highest pedigree–until she was cut off by the leader of the Akagami Foundation. For the last five years, she's lived on Feather Island with her maids. She hasn't been alone.

With drama at the core, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Ii (Yuuki Kaji) and Tomo Kunagisa (Aoi Yuuki) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action, put it on your list. The run is 8 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
