Synopsis:

The sudden appearance of a colossal gate in Tokyo throws the world into chaos. From this portal erupts an invasion of armored warriors and strange creatures, prompting a swift response from the Japan Self-Defense Forces. Youji Itami, an ordinary officer with a passion for otaku culture, finds himself thrust into the forefront of this unprecedented crisis. Three months later, he leads a reconnaissance team into the newly discovered "Special Region," a world beyond the gate. Their mission is to establish peaceful relations with the empire that rules this land, seeking understanding and cooperation. However, failure could trigger a large-scale conflict with potentially devastating consequences for both sides of the dimensional divide. The series explores themes of cultural exchange, war, and the challenges of communication in the face of the unknown.
