### Summary
In a post-apocalyptic world submerged by a relentless, 70-year monsoon, humanity struggles for survival against monstrous sea creatures known as leviathans. The story follows siblings Bota and Lita Ma, who, under the guardianship of the veteran harpooner Kana, are on a desperate quest to find a cure for Lita's mutating disease, which she contracted from the Sea Demon, Genod. Their mission has been fraught with peril, shifting from battles against leviathans to socio-political conflicts inherited from their legendary father, Teon Ma, who was killed by one of the beasts. After a time skip that saw Bota mature into a formidable warrior, their stalled quest was recently reignited when a sentient leviathan named Krill, once an antagonist, offered them a potential cure. However, they now face their most disturbing challenge yet: a grotesque leviathan queen that has assumed the form and memories of their long-lost mother, Narisa. This monstrous maternal figure has presented the siblings with a horrifying sacrificial ultimatum, but Bota, now a powerful fighter, has stubbornly rejected the psychological torment. Choosing direct confrontation over contemplation, he is preparing to battle the grotesque mockery of his mother, shifting the conflict from a moral dilemma to a raw battle of wills.
