Seven stories across six films… Something certainly doesn’t compute. (Note: this is a joke.)

Earlier today, an official website opened for the six-part K: Seven Stories film series. The website includes a key visual for the first film, R:B ~Blaze~. The site also updated with the core cast and crew for both R:B ~Blaze~ and spinoff film The Idol K.

We break the details down below:
