Synopsis:

In the bustling metropolis of Fukuoka, a calculated invasion unfolds. Il Palazzo, leader of the shadowy ACROSS organization, initiates a strategic city takeover, understanding the complexities of global domination require incremental steps. The mission falls to two young officers, Excel and Hyatt, tasked with executing this operation. Their efforts, however, are consistently undermined by unforeseen complications and a persistent tendency for failure.

The pair must contend not only with the city's defenses – a peculiar blend of human City Security personnel and automated systems – but also their own ineptitude. *Excel♥Saga* presents a darkly comedic narrative centered on these botched attempts, exploring themes of ambition versus execution and the absurd realities of bureaucratic power plays. The series emphasizes the often-humorous consequences of well-intentioned but poorly executed plans within a vibrant urban setting.
