Overview
Once upon a time, human voices had defined the true nature of all things, yet the invention of text changed the status quo, while creating a "Logos World" between the voice and the truth. Millennia have passed since then, where advancements of civilization have made the "Logos World" too big to control "texts." A group of young people dedicate themselves to counter the chaotic "texts" with their "Creative Voice Power" (創声力 souseiryoku; lit. Power over Verbal Origins).
Characters
Akira Kaibuki
The main protagonist of the anime series. He considers himself to be "The Savior" of mankind. As if to accompany his claim, he holds a tremendous amount of Creative Voice Power.
Maia Tsukigane
The female protagonist who works under the main antagonist of the series, Sougon Kenzaki. Currently, she works as a spy under Sougon in order to eventually sabotage the efforts of those who use the Creative Voice Power. She may have developed feelings for the protagonist Akira, but no sufficient proof has been shown thus far.
Kokone Kikogami
She is the second female protagonist of the series. She wants to be an actress, but her timid stuttering hinders her confidence. She has feelings for the main protagonist, thus she envies Maia's position which seems close to him.

A university student who exemplifies maturity among the team.
Subete Kenzaki
Son of Sougon Kenzaki, following his father's way of supporting the chaotic "text." Originally partnered with Maia to protect the chaotic "text," once Maia is assigned as a spy, Subete grows out of his unsure shell in order to do better of what he wasn't able to do before.
