Synopsis:

Centuries of reliance on written communication have culminated in a world where language itself has become a weapon. The proliferation of digital text has inadvertently opened a gateway for ancient magic, unleashed by Sogan Kenzaki's creation of the Nesta Virus. This phenomenon manifests as MJBK, monstrous entities born from words that threaten to overwhelm humanity.

In response, DEAVA, a specialized organization, recruits young individuals gifted with "Verbalism" – the ability to manipulate language into power. They pilot advanced mecha known as Aquarions to combat the encroaching threat. The narrative centers on Akira Kaibuki, a young man burdened by lineage and driven by a desire for redemption. His unique connection to calligraphy positions him as a pivotal figure in the struggle against this linguistic apocalypse, forcing him to confront his destiny within a world grappling with the consequences of its own history. The series explores themes of legacy, responsibility, and the potent power embedded within language itself.
