(W/A) Aki Poroyama. In a world set in the future* children hold the authority to determine who may become parents. Having children is illegal unless a couple first passes a strict examination* conducted by a child* that certifies them as capable providers. It is a veritable utopia with no child abuse... or at least* so it may seem. Hikari is one such examiner in this system* spending his days evaluating prospective parents. But one day* he comes across a couple that isn't quite like the others...
