## Story

In a parallel world called Choushinkai, inhabited by individuals with special abilities known as Hikaribito, some among them commit crimes, feared as shadowy beings called Kageribito.

Choushinkai is also home to monsters known as Magii. These creatures, invisible to most, have existed since ancient times, appearing in folklore as various supernatural entities. The duty of protecting the human world from their malevolent influence falls on the Hikaribito.

Hitomi Kai, a diligent and plain high school girl, has the ability to see Magii, making her life difficult. One day, Gou, a Hikaribito and a guardian general, crashes into the human world while transporting captured Kageribito on the turtle ship Bumba. Gou learns about an impending attack on the human world by a mysterious army of 1,000 soldiers, but with no support from Choushinkai, he decides to protect Earth alone.

Facing a seemingly desperate situation, Gou confidently declares, "I have a chance of winning!". Gou forcefully recruits the escaped Kageribito as his subordinates to form a **Hikaribito Army** (光人軍団, , *Hikaribito Gundan*?) to defend the human world.

Witnessing Gou's determination, Hitomi's encounter with him sets in motion a significant turn of events that will impact Gou, Hitomi, and the fate of Earth.
