Charcoal Feather Federation

A young girl dreams of falling endlessly, only to awaken inside a giant cocoon. Upon her hatching, mysterious beings known as Haibane seek to ease her transition into this strange new world.

Rakka begins to explore her surroundings: an abandoned dormitory called Old Home. As she grows stronger, her new friends slowly introduce her to the rules and regulations of a Haibane’s second-hand existence.

Hikari and Rakka journey to the temple of the Haibane-Renmei, where Rakka’s new life is issued to her in the form of a notebook. Later, an outburst from the Young Feathers leads to a quest for pancakes.

Rakka continues her search for the perfect job by hauling trash and fixing broken timepieces with Kana, an opportunity which affords her a rare look at the city walls from a lofty vantage.

A day spent working at the library leads Rakka to search for the long lost secret behind the beginning of the world. Meanwhile, out in the street, Reki is harassed by a cruel male Haibane.

With winter approaching, Rakka begins looking for a room of her very own. Kuu is quick to offer assistance, but her flickering halo and sudden disappearance raises concern among the other Haibane.
