We investigate the high-temperature phase of QCD using lattice QCD simulations with dynamical Mbius domain-wall fermions. On generated configurations, we study the axial symmetry, overlap-Dirac spectra, screening masses from mesonic correlators, and topological susceptibility. We find that some of the observables are quite sensitive to lattice artifacts due to a small violation of the chiral symmetry. For those observables, we reweight the Mbius domain-wall fermion determinant by that of the overlap fermion. We also check the volume dependence of observables. Our data near the chiral limit indicates a strong suppression of the axial anomaly at temperatures 220 MeV.
