Black Cable: Descent to Hokora

Seventeen-year-old Takeru Mori is angry, adrift, and failing out in a cold resort town haunted by a dead cable-car line. When his little sister Hanae disappears inside the sealed Station Nine, he grabs a crowbar and follows her in. He steps into the last car still hanging over the void—and wakes falling above another world. Hokora is a shattered land of sunken shrines, rusted cableways, and walking fortresses built from temples. Here, memory is fuel. The ruling Covenant strips newcomers of their pasts and burns them to power its war machines. Because Takeru still remembers Hanae, he is marked defective—and dangerous. Rescued by Yuna, a scarred teenage hunter who soars on a glider of prayer flags and bone, Takeru learns the brutal rules of survival: never sleep near a bell, never speak your full name, never lose the face you see with your eyes closed. Armed with a bell shard that can cut Covenant control but devours his own memories with every strike, Takeru must fight through sky raids, bell forests, and brutal arenas. To save his sister, he may have to forget her.
