LayereD Eve

LayereD Eve originated from the multimedia project LayereD Stories 0, an ambitious collaboration between Bandai Namco Entertainment, Namco Studios, and Monaca. Launched in the late 2010s, the series was designed to blend traditional anime storytelling with interactive smartphone gaming, exploring a futuristic society where digital layers augment human perception. This specific volume serves as a narrative expansion of that setting, aiming to ground the project's high-concept sci-fi themes within a more intimate, character-driven framework.

The character designs and illustrations for this entry were crafted by Hosaka Ayumi, whose work is noted for balancing the sharp, clean aesthetic typical of modern Japanese digital-fantasy media with a subtle expressiveness. In creating this volume, the intent was to provide a visual and narrative bridge that allowed fans to engage with the world-building of the LayereD ecosystem beyond the limitations of the game’s primary interface. The work received modest attention within the niche circle of transmedia enthusiasts, valued primarily as a collectible record of the project's distinct artistic vision.
