The anime series is based on the novel by Nekotarō Inui, with a manga adaptation set to launch via Square Enix’s Manga UP! site in Summer 2021.
The official website describes the anime as:
One day in the distant future. Humans live shoulder to shoulder in “colonies” separated by rock.
Outside the colonies, a dangerous undeveloped area called “the Labyrinth” is expanding. Those who risk their lives to develop “the Labyrinth”, who mark out the undeveloped areas, are known as “Markers”.
A young girl, Memempu, who wants to be a Marker one day, and a man, Gagumber, who used to be one.
This mismatched father and daughter now take on the Labyrinth!
“If there’s no path, dig one!”
