Chakuro

At just fourteen years old, Chakuro serves as the devoted record-keeper of the Mud Whale—a colossal, isolated vessel adrift upon an endless sea of sand. As one of the 'Marked,' those blessed with thymia powers yet cursed with shortened lives, he struggles with a peculiar condition that compels him to write without cease. When the enigmatic outsider Lykos arrives and shatters the Mud Whale's long-held isolation, Chakuro's quiet existence transforms into an odyssey of discovery and grief. Bearing witness to the cruel fates that befall his people, he dedicates himself to preserving every truth—no matter how painful—within the pages of his chronicles.
