His skills attract the attention of Krishna, the Vice Captain of the Harses Kingdom’s Royal Guard, leading to new adventures.

Themes

The anime explores themes of:

  • Challenging Authority: Zenos rejects medical regulations and works underground, protesting against a system he sees as flawed.
  • Harem elements: The series incorporates a harem dynamic with multiple female characters showing romantic interest in Zenos.

Where to Watch
