Synopsis:

The quiet life of ten-year-old Tsubasa Shiina is irrevocably altered by a mysterious event in rural Hokkaido. Following the crash of an extraterrestrial vessel, she encounters a wounded pilot and a dangerous alien creature, the Maguar. A subsequent encounter with an enigmatic lifeform results in the emergence of a powerful armor, transforming Tsubasa into a formidable warrior. This transformation also brings forth Hikaru, an identical twin who encourages Tsubasa to embrace connection with others.

As more Maguars emerge across Hokkaido, Tsubasa and Hikaru must learn to control their abilities and combat these threats while awaiting assistance from their allies in the stars. The series explores themes of identity, belonging, and the challenges of adapting to extraordinary circumstances, set against a backdrop of quiet landscapes and burgeoning conflict.
