Plot

Seiya Kanie is a good-looking, perfectionist boy who is forced by the mysterious Isuzu Sento to visit an amusement park named Amagi Brilliant Park, which is in serious financial trouble and about to be closed forever. The park is actually staffed by refugees from a magical realm called Maple Land and the park is a facility for harvesting magical energy from visitors while they're having fun. As such, the park is the only way the refugees can maintain their existence in the human realm.
To save the park from closing, Seiya is hired by the owner, Latifah Fleuranza, the princess of Maple Land, to become its new manager and use his skills in entertainment to save it. However, they have only two weeks to attract 100,000 visitors, a feat that seems impossible given the park's current situation.
