Natsume Tomoharu is a normal high-school student in every way with one exception: he’s being followed by the ghost of his best friend, Misao.
After moving into his brother’s old house, Tomoharu expects to continue living his normal life but is one day left with a mysterious and locked briefcase without any instruction. At first he plans to leave it in storage, however his house is soon invaded by multiple groups of people after the briefcase. Although still not knowing the purpose of the briefcase, Tomoharu and Misao attempt to escape with it.
From there on, Tomoharu tries to learn the secrets behind the briefcase, the connections between it and Misao and why it has the power to change the world.

Where it came from
Asura Cryin' emerged in 2009 as a television anime adaptation of the light novel series written by Gakuto Mikumo. Produced by Seven Arcs and broadcast on TV Tokyo, the series sits within the mecha genre, blending high-stakes science fiction with supernatural elements and dark fantasy. It was developed during a period when studios were increasingly experimenting with hybrid narrative tropes, attempting to distinguish the series through its complex protagonist, Tomoharu Natsume, and his connection to the titular Asura Machina.
The series' aesthetic and mechanical design were crafted to reflect a somber, multi-layered atmosphere, overseen by director Keizō Kusakawa. The production aimed to weave a dense mystery surrounding parallel worlds and ghostly remnants, resulting in a reception that praised its ambitious world-building while occasionally noting the difficulty of translating the light novels' intricate pacing into a episodic television format.
