In addition, a special will air on September 26 at 24:00 before the anime itself airs. The special will feature interviews with the main cast, a look behind the scenes at the anime's production materials and studio, and comments by theme song singer Nagi Yanagi.

The official website for the project teases the story:

Hina, who awakened as a god.
She foresaw "the end of the world."
She chooses a lone young man.
Who, as her companion,
Will spend his time with her until the very end

A program streamed in July also outlined the story:

One day during Yōta Narukami's last summer vacation of high school, a girl named Hina suddenly appears and proclaims herself "the All-Knowing God." Hina announces to the thoroughly confused Yōta, "The world will end in 30 days." Yōta then witnesses Hina's god-like powers of prophecy, convincing him that her powers are real. Hina's naive innocence belies her powers, and she decides to live at Yōta's home for some reason. Thus begins an eventful summer before the end of the world.

A video featured the text, "The day she became a god, the world veered toward the end times."
