English
Everyone wants to be remembered… Untold years after the strange Beasts drove humanity to extinction, Willem emerges from his slumber as the sole survivor. A new civilization of various other races has risen on the floating islands, but there’sno place for a featureless human among them. After aimlessly wandering for a time, Willem grudgingly accepts a job with the military, only to discover that the “weapons” he watches over are in fact young faeries. As he slowly learns more about the children and how they’re linked to his past, the war with the Beasts grows increasingly desperate. When the girls prepare to fight a hopeless battle, is there anything a lone human can do…?

Personal Opinion
I watched the anime a few years ago and enjoyed it. The world setup is decently interesting, sort of post-post-apocalyptic, and has some good mysteries to explore
Pros and Cons for the Book Club
Pros
- Interesting world.
- Mysterious backstory to get into
Cons
- Slightly on the shorter side (280 pages, but like 15 of them are character previews)
- Can stray a bit harem-y at times

Also note that Crunchyroll has episode 1 of the anime adaptation for free on YouTube (though I’m sure region locking is a disaster as always). Don’t start at 0:00 - the anime starts at the end and the LN does not. But start at 4:10 to 6:30 for a nice special epsiode 1 opening of the world.
