This isn’t a story of heroes and villains.
In a fractured universe where justice and chaos blur, people are not saviors—they are survivors. Dreamers. Fighters shaped by a world that forces them to choose who they become.
The Judgement Order maintains peace through control, offering the illusion of choice while quietly shaping society to its will. Opposing them is the Plasma Nexus, a rebellion that fights for freedom… even if that freedom leads to destruction.
But what is freedom without order?
And what is order without truth?
At the center of it all is Iver Tanaka, the Masked Drifter—a boy forged by tragedy, searching for purpose in a world that sees him as a monster. He doesn’t have the answers.
And neither do we.
Through his journey, SUNDIAL explores identity, survival, and the cost of choice. It asks a simple question with no easy answer:
Would you fight for freedom…
even if it meant embracing chaos?
Or would you accept control…
in exchange for peace?
There are no right sides here.
Only consequences.
Welcome to SUNDIAL.
Freedom isn’t always what it seems.
And neither are the people fighting for it.
"SUNDIAL" is a sci-fi manga about survival and rebellion in a chaotic galaxy ruled by the oppressive Judgment Order.

As Iver uncovers truths about his past and the universe's corruption, he faces tough choices between selfish ambition and becoming a symbol of hope in a lawless world. The story combines intense action, morally complex characters, and a gritty, dystopian setting, exploring what it means to fight for survival and justice.
