Here, he learns of an unexpected opportunity: a potential career with the force, flagged by the station's advanced computer system. His arrival is met with skepticism from Misuzu Sonokata, a sharp-tongued officer who doubts his capabilities. Driven by an internal impulse and a desire to prove himself, Chuuta chooses to undertake the demanding aptitude test. The series explores themes of self-discovery and overcoming doubt within a vibrant, futuristic setting populated by unusual beings. It follows Chuuta’s journey as he navigates this new world and attempts to earn his place among the space police, all while grappling with the origins of his unique abilities.
