Tokyo 24th Ward

Tokyo 24th Ward is an original sci-fi mystery TV anime produced by CloverWorks, conceived by Team 24. Set on the artificial island known as the 24th Ward in Tokyo Bay, the series follows three childhood friends—Ran Akagi, Shuuta Aoi, and Kouki Suido—who receive a mysterious phone call that forces them to make impossible choices with life-or-death consequences. Directed by Naokatsu Tsuda with series composition by Bio Shimokura, the show masterfully blends moral dilemmas, futuristic technology, and tightly woven mystery into a gripping narrative that fans of thought-provoking anime won't want to miss.

The 24th Ward is an artificial island built within Tokyo Bay—a self-contained community with its own culture, conflicts, and secrets. It's the only home that Shuuta Aoi, Ran Akagi, and Kouki Suido have ever known, and growing up together on its streets forged a friendship that felt unbreakable. That bond was put to the test when a tragic incident shook the ward, leaving the three young men to walk separate paths. Now, a year has passed. Fate pulls them back together, but their reunion takes an unexpected turn when a phone call arrives out of nowhere. The voice on the other end is unmistakably familiar—belonging to someone who, by all accounts, should no longer be alive. What message could this impossible caller be trying to send, and what does it mean for the island they all call home?
