Ultraman: The Light of Evolution

In an age when the world had yet to acknowledge the existence of monsters, the light fell first.

Blue devoured human wills, turning them into ever-evolving monsters;

red, before it faded away, chose to take shelter in an ordinary person.

Kambara Hikaru isn't a hero. He's just someone afraid of death who still wants to live.

When he transforms into an incomplete The Next, what he gains isn't divine power, but limited time and a heavy price to pay.

The light is weakening, and the monsters are growing.

Humanity must learn to take responsibility amid its fear.

This is a story about one question:

When the light is no longer perfect, can people still become hope?
