Sanda

In a future Japan where children have become rare and are intensely protected and monitored, Christmas traditions have nearly vanished and Santa Claus is treated by adults as a dangerous forbidden legend. Kazushige Sanda is an ordinary boarding-school student until classmate Shiori Fuyumura attacks him, convinced that Santa’s blood runs in his family.

Fuyumura is not asking for a present. She wants to find her friend Ichie Ono, who disappeared months ago and was declared dead by the school. Her desperation awakens a power inside Sanda that proves the legend is real. In a society where Santa is hunted and children distrust the adults controlling them, Sanda chooses to use his strange inheritance to search for Ono and protect others.
