KADOKAWA Corporation (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President and CEO: Takeshi Natsuno; hereinafter KADOKAWA) released 'The Future Awaits Your Choice: Liu's Quantum Quest, Lagrangian Arc' (Author: Ami Okudaira) on Wednesday, April 15, 2026.
This book is a culminating science fantasy novel by Ami Okudaira, known as a leading expert in the 'Law of Attraction.' Based on the concepts of quantum mechanics and multidimensional universes, it depicts the theme that 'choice' and 'consciousness' create reality in a way that can be experienced through a story. It is a book that provides a new perspective on one's choices and how one perceives life, while enjoying it as entertainment.
## Story: Discovering one's true power and the mechanisms of the world through an interdimensional journey
The story begins with an ordinary high school student, Liu, encountering Yan, who comes from another Earth. Yan is 'another self' connected like quantum entanglement.
Together with his companions, Liu embarks on a journey to find 'Axion,' the key to the world, and aims for 'Lagrangian,' the source from which all reality is created, to save both worlds.
It is a world where countless possibilities overlap. A place where reality changes with every choice.
During the journey, Liu does not fight, but remembers.
His true power.
The meaning of choosing.
The purpose of living.
And how to 'enjoy' this world.
Within a quantum mechanical worldview, Liu learns the mechanisms and laws of the world, realizes his own potential, and through various encounters, approaches the whereabouts of Axion.
This is not just Liu's story. It resonates with the reader's own life, evoking the feeling that 'I am the one who chooses the future.'
## The introductory part of this story in manga!
To introduce the story upon its release, the encounter between Liu and Yan has been clearly adapted into a manga.
Please enjoy how the encounter between these two will unfold and what kind of adventure will begin in the novel.
*This book is a novel, and the manga is not included in the book.
## Commentary: The perspective of 'another reality' backed by physics
This book includes a commentary by Dr. Yasunori Nomura (Professor of Physics, University of California, Berkeley).
The 'self who made a different choice' and 'the world where multiple possibilities exist simultaneously' depicted in the story are consistent with the worldview in quantum mechanics. In quantum mechanics, reality contains multiple possibilities before being determined as one, and one of them is experienced through observation.
This work presents a new way of looking at the world to readers by allowing them to experience such cutting-edge scientific ideas as a story.
