Kagerou Project
The Kagerou Project (カゲロウプロジェクト, Kagerō Purojekuto; lit. "Heat Haze Project" or "Mayfly Project"), also known as Kagerou Daze (カゲロウデイズ, Kagerō Deizu; lit. "Heat Haze Daze", or "Mayfly Daze") or Kagerou Days, sometimes referred to as Kagepro (カゲプロ), is a Japanese mixed-media project created by Jin (Shizen no Teki-P) (じん(自然の敵P)).
It initially began as a series of Vocaloid songs that became increasingly popular following the release of the third song, "Kagerou Daze". Eventually, a light novel and manga series, both under the name of Kagerou Daze, were released. In 2014, an anime by Shaft was also released under the name "Mekakucity Actors".[better source needed][better source needed]
Shintarō Kisaragi has not left his house in over two years, spending all day on his computer and getting ruthlessly teased by Ene, an annoying computer virus. When Shintarō spills a drink on his computer keyboard, he has to buy a replacement in person. Unfortunately, terrorists arrive and Shintaro is taken hostage. However, he meets a group of young people, including his own sister, called the "Mekakushi Dan" (メカクシ団; lit. "Blindfold Gang") who stop the criminals using mysterious powers. They then force Shintarō to join their group. Little does he know, the Mekakushi Dan are in for a never-ending summer.
The series contains alternative storylines, endings, and in some cases, beginnings, depending on the format of the media. Each storyline is called a "route". These are not adaptations to one another.
Various other smaller or shorter timelines occur within the series but are not completely shown. These are all indicated in detail in the "Kagerou Project Perfect Guide" (2016) and with glimpses from other routes. While most of the timelines occur between August 14–15, some timelines' initial storylines are indicated to happen before the main series begins. This includes the backstories of Kido, Kano, and Seto, supporting character Ayano Tateyama, and Mekakushi Dan member Marry Kozakura. Other timelines detailing Marry's own backstory and historical events also are noted to happen on August 15 or other close dates.
In Route XX among other "bad end" timelines, Clearing Eyes kills all the members of the Mekakushi Dan besides Marry, and has her reset the timeline. This happens by means of her Combining Eyes ability, used through her by the snake of 'Clearing Eyes', who "awakens" her (often in "Queen" form), and, by "collecting" the snakes that "have lost their owners", she reverses time in order to save everyone. Marry seemingly reverses time at the end of every official "route" and "timeline" seen thus far.
The series began as a series of albums that were released alongside the novels. The soundtracks were produced by Jin and released by IA Project. The first album is titled Mekakucity Days (メカクシティデイズ, Mekakushiti Deizu) and was released on May 30, 2012. It was followed by a single, "Children Record" (チルドレンレコード, Chirudoren Rekōdo), on August 15, 2012. A second album titled Mekakucity Records (メカクシティレコーズ, Mekakushiti Rekōzu) was released on May 29, 2013. A third album titled Mekakucity Reload (メカクシティリロード, Mekakushiti Rirōdo) was announced on August 15, 2017 and was released November 7, 2018.
The Kagerou Daze light novels are written by Jin with illustrations from Kagerou Project music video maker Sidu. The first volume was released on May 30, 2012, by Enterbrain on their KCG Bunko imprint, and the eighth and final volume was released on December 29, 2017. Yen Press has been releasing the novels in English in North America since May 26, 2015.
