Babel Kyusaku (2020)

Other name: バベル九朔, Babel Kusaku, Baberu Kyuusaku

Description:

"Babel Kyusaku" centers on Kusaku Mitsuhiro, the recently appointed manager of the historical, multi-tenant Babel Kusaku building. While secretly harboring dreams of becoming a screenwriter, Mitsuhiro unexpectedly finds himself transported into a fantastical realm also called Babel. This isn't merely a place; it's a vibrant, false world where every wish and abandoned aspiration magically manifests into reality.

He soon learns that many of the building's other tenants have also been drawn into this captivating dimension, all having once relinquished their true dreams in the real world. Entranced by the prospect of boundless fulfillment, those lost within Babel wish to stay there eternally. Yet, a perilous catch exists: once the word "Babel" is spoken within this dreamscape, returning to the real world becomes an impossible feat. This compelling narrative, adapted from the novel by Manabu Makime, delves into the allure of perfect escapism and the ultimate price of an illusionary existence.
