In some distant future, it's common knowledge that all wolves have been extinct for 200 years. However, it seems this is false as wolves have not disappeared but rather have taken human form. Kiba, a lone wolf, wanders into a city, trying to sniff ou…t the Lunar Flowers that are supposed to lead whoever follows the scent to paradise. The source of the smell is Cheza, a girl who sleeps in what appears to be suspended animation in a lab. She and the wolves are drawn to each other, and Kiba hopes to find paradise once he finds the source of the scent of Lunar Flowers. However, once Kiba finds Cheza, she is kidnapped by a mysterious person called Darcia, and his search begins anew.
I'd recommend it for its music, its melancholy and the journey of some wolves who continue searching for Paradise when the world is already ending.
It's a good fit if you're looking for post-apocalyptic fantasy, drama and a symbolic story.
Unlike other post-apocalyptic quests, wolves hide in human appearance because everyone believes them to be extinct; following Cheza means stopping surviving in disguise.
