In 2032, an unprecedented physics theory redefined the laws of the world. Physical phenomena manifested as girls called Phenomenon Fairies, bringing both great benefits and catastrophic disasters to humanity. Seven years after the Phenomenon Fairy Disaster reversed gravity and collapsed Kobe, the city has been rebuilt upside-down. A boy named Kanae lives there in apparent peace until he hears a desperate voice calling for help. The fairy girl who appears confesses: she killed 15 million people at once with her own hands. A boy and a fugitive fairy begin their flight from the world’s secrets. Grand Prize winner of the 31st Dengeki Novel Award. The author Denjiyutai passed away before publication, making this both a debut and posthumous work.

Originally submitted as "Kimi no Denpa ni Noise wa Iranai," this Gold Prize-winning entry from the 31st Dengeki Novel Awards tells the story of Hibari Takaya, a self-proclaimed Savior of the Spiritual Realm whose eccentric delusions keep everyone at arm's length, and ordinary high schooler Masaomi Kusunoki, who confesses his feelings to her on a dare.

Kafka is the only child living in a village of elders nestled inside a floating cavern where the sky cannot be seen. Raised on tales of the outside world by her late adventurer grandfather, she longs for something beyond the village walls yet has always obeyed the order never to leave. Everything changes when Hayate, a visitor from the surface, arrives — a beast-man with the features of a dog, whose vivid accounts of life below ignite a spark in Kafka. Defying the protests of the villagers, she climbs into the biplane her grandfather left behind and launches herself into the dawn sky. Along the way she encounters people of all different appearances, finds warmth in the adults who watch over her journey, and makes her first true friends her own age. As the adventure unfolds, she learns of a sorrow-filled past that divides the peoples of this world. Even so, Kafka refuses to stop flying — because every moment of our lives is an adventure. Winner of the 31st Dengeki Novel Grand Award (Dengeki New Literature Prize).
