Our hero (voiced by rapper "ACE COOL"), called by a different name in each chapter of his life, becomes a J-pop idol, an outcast, a leader, and an oracle in this hundred-year chronicle spanning the past, present, and future. Through a chance encounter with a transfer student, he trains to become an idol, starting his search for self-identity and a journey toward greatness beyond superstardom.

Written, directed, edited and entirely hand-drawn by newcomer Ryuya Suzuki over eighteen months, "JINSEI" (meaning “life” in Japanese) is an anime tour-de-force that announces Suzuki to the world as a bold new talent in independent animation.
