About SHUTEN ORDER
"Happy New End...Have a good end"
"168 remaining until the end of the world..." Humanity is approaching its end.

In a world steeped in despair and chaos, a strange religious organization called Shuten Order emerges, yearning for the end of humanity. The group rapidly gains followers, eventually forming a small nation state called Shuten. Then one day, someone murders the Founder.

Following their death, the Founder is resurrected as Rei Shimobe (protagonist), by a miracle known as “the Power of God”. However, the resurrection is incomplete—their memories are gone, and their life limited to a mere four days.

Two self-proclaimed "angels", God's messengers, arrive and declare to the protagonist that to achieve true resurrection, they must overcome "God's trial": identify and kill their murderer.

Thus begins a high-stakes, four-day hunt for the truth, with their own life and the fate of the world at stake.

The Characters of SHUTEN ORDER

		Protagonist: Rei Shimobe Founder of the Shuten Order who was resurrected in a “temporary body”. All memories prior to being murdered were lost. ”Rei Shimobe” is a temporary name to hide their identity as the Founder. Disguised as a detective to find the murderer within the given time limit: dawn, four days from now…
		Angel: Himeru One of the two self-proclaimed “angels,” God’s messengers. Seemingly, their role is to guide Rei...? Impatient and prone to panic, she is the driving force that compels Rei to move forward when reluctant. For some reason, she has clear malice and hatred toward Shuten.
		Angel: Mikotoru One of the two self-proclaimed “angels,” God’s messengers. Seemingly, their role is to guide Rei...? Calm, knowledgeable, and highly analytical, he steadily guides Rei. However, he deflects when asked questions that get to the core of the matter.
		Minister of Justice: Kishiru Inugami Head of the Ministry of Justice, which administers the law. A free spirit who often says random things and acts spontaneously. He is a knowledgeable and flexible thinker, unrivaled when it comes to resolving disputes. Also known as the “Ghost White Arbitrator." Addicted to legal drugs.
		Minister of Health: Yugen Ushitora Head of the Ministry of Health, which is in charge of medical care. Also the director of Shuten General Hospital, a medical institution under his control. Known as the “Gatekeeper to the Afterlife” because of his proven medical skills. He appears to be hearty and compassionate, but pathologically meticulous. He loves his younger sister.
		Minister of Science: Teko Ion Head of the Ministry of Science, which controls all aspects of science and technology. Though charmless in both words and action, he is a genius with an unmeasurable IQ, and in charge of designing most of the country's technology. Also known as the “Prodigy”.
		Minister of Education: Honoka Kokushikan Head of the Ministry of Education, which is in charge of education and information. Nicknamed the “Conjurer of Words” for her ability to manipulate information and confuse the public. Many things about her, including her true face, are shrouded in mystery. She's typically quiet, but there are rumors about her ambition to become the next Founder...
		Minister of Security: Manji Fushicho Head of the Ministry of Security, which maintains public order. Short tempered and aggressive. Particularly hostile to heretics (enemies of the order) and is known as the “Queen of Heretic Hunting”. Wishes for peace in this country more than anyone and tries to protect it.
