The story is set in the outside world, post fifteen years of an unprecedented apocalypse that destroyed modern civilization.
The story shows a group of children being brought up in a facility isolated from the outside world and side by side another story is also; being depicted of a pair who travel in post-apocalypse Japan to meet their daily needs.
Heavenly Delusion Spoiler Alert!
Spoiler Alert: Now, if you want to know what the first episode story will be like then allow us to share a glimpse. In the first episode the story will begin with children playing in a beautiful place but in an isolated facility, a boy named Tokio, no not, Tokyo from Alice in Borderland, and a girl named Mimihime will be taking the main spotlight.
Mimihime is a small girl maybe in her adolescence, who stares blankly outside. Her spacing-out session gets interrupted by Tokio, and she predicts that a test will take place in the next class which turns out to be true. During the test Tokio finds a question stating: “Do you want to go outside of the outside?” upon asking his teacher the question disappears.
Next, we see, Mimihime telling him another prediction that one day two people from outside will come and save her, and one of them will look like Tokio. Feeling terrified of Mimihime’s prediction, Tokio walks out as he was not able to sleep.
He comes across the nursery’s principal; who tells him that the outside is hell and is filled with monsters.
Then the story shifts to a boy named Maru, who looks exactly like Tokio who is traveling along with a girl named Kiruko in search of heaven, the heaven may not be revealed in this episode, but we will get to see some horrifying scenes as they will try to collect sources for their survival.
The story will get more interesting and thrilling as it will progress; so we recommend you watch this anime for sure.

Heavenly Delusion Cast Comments
Maru role – Hajime Sato
What is your impression of the work “Tengoku Daimakyo” and your enthusiasm for playing the character?
“The word “mysterious…” is perfect for this work, and the more I read it, the more I couldn’t stop. Maru is a person who doesn’t even know who he is, so it was very difficult, but he has a lot of emotions, so I was able to enjoy recording.”
Kirko role – Ayaka Senbongi
What is your impression of the work “Tengoku Daimakyo” and your enthusiasm for playing the character?
“I still remember the excitement I felt when I read “Tengoku Daimakyo” for the first time. I was happy to be able to play Kirko, an important character in such a work, and I was very enthusiastic.”
Robin Inazaki – Kazuya Nakai
What is your impression of the work “Tengoku Daimakyo” and your enthusiasm for playing the character?
“The structure of the story where “What? What do you mean?” It’s easy to empathize with lively characters, and you’ll want to see what’s ahead. Robin appears in a sense like a hero, but I am looking; forward to getting to know him, including the parts that are not straightforward after that.”
Tokio – Hibiki Yamamura
What is your impression of the work “Tengoku Daimakyo” and your enthusiasm for playing the character?
I read the original work for the audition, but the story was so interesting that I was drawn in all at once. Tokio is a delicate character who is the key to the story, so I tried to act as close to Tokio’s heart as possible.
