The manga centers on Tobi, who lives an unchanging daily life with a talkative bag named Baku, until a girl named Ryūko appears in front of him.
Eve is mainly known as a Vocaloid song cover artist and as one of the lead singers for the Japanese indie band einie. He performed the opening theme song “Ambivalent” for Sae Okamoto‘s Mecha-Ude short anime project in 2018, as well as the second ending theme “Yamiyo” for Dororo. In 2019, Wit Studio animated a music video for Eve, and CloverWorks animated one in October 2020. Eve has also performed songs for such anime as Josee, The Tiger and the Fish, The Promised Neverland, Night Head 2041, My Hero Academia, Bubble, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Chainsaw Man.
Netflix debuted Adam by Eve: A Live in Animation, a “music film” featuring both new and old songs from Eve, animated by indie animators, in 2022.
Eve will hold concerts in Seoul, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Taipei, and Yokohama in May to June this year.
