IN A PERFECT WORLD, THERE IS NO ESCAPE
In the future, Utopia has finally been achieved thanks to medical nanotechnology and a powerful ethic of social welfare and mutual consideration. This perfect world isn't that perfect though, and three young girls stand up to totalitarian kindness and super-medicine by attempting suicide via starvation. The plan fails, but one of the girls-Tuan Kirie-grows up to be a member of the World Health Organization.
