Heaven's Design Team is an agency that creates made-to-order life forms for their client, God. Why does this life form look like that? Why does this life form live this way? Watch the trials and successes of the designers and engineers forced to breathe life into God's absurd requests!

Under a dark and ominous sky, pierced by lightning, a man wearing a sinister hood summons a... "dragon"!

Out of gratitude for their work, God decides to arrange a company vacation to Galapagos. While they are enjoying the hot springs and the banquet, a bloody Mercury is found.

February 18, 2021
One evening, after hearing Neptune explain that he felt like someone was watching him in the bath, God puts in an order for an "animal that's watching even though it looks like nothing's there".

The ability to have a concealed weapons inside your body... isn't that the dream?! Tasked with the order for an animal that uses "bones as weapons", Jupiter begins to alter his own ribs like mad.

March 11, 2021
Somehow Shimoda stumbled into an underground kingdom. This kingdom is a land for "animals that create the perfect society", with their queen at the top. In this society, there are few physical differences, no aging, and the collective's happiness is prioritized over the individual's. It's too ideal a place, but there is a hidden truth about this system
1x11 - Idea 11
March 18, 2021
The life form time accelerator device exploded and Shimoda and the others are blasted to Galapagos. To make it worse, the entire team got turned into children!

1x12 - Idea 12
March 25, 2021
As a gift for Hell's celebratory party, God orders the designers to come up with "an animal that can be used in Hell's attraction and also sent to Earth". Yokota's idea of making it something that "surprises angels" is also tacked on, which really puts the team's abilities to the test...
