Synopsis:
In the autumn of 1941, amidst the escalating global conflict of World War II, Earth faces a dual threat. A sudden alien invasion intertwines with existing geopolitical tensions, forcing humanity into an unexpected war for survival. The Kishin Corps emerges as Earth's primary defense, utilizing colossal Geo-Armor Robots derived from captured alien technology.
The narrative centers on Taishi, a young man unexpectedly burdened with a mysterious black attaché case containing the vital control mechanism for one of these powerful machines. This artifact places him squarely in the crosshairs of the Japanese Kanto Army, the alien invaders, and the Kishin Corps themselves, each vying for control. Taishi navigates a world of espionage, military might, and otherworldly conflict as he struggles to protect the case and understand his father's legacy, caught between warring factions and colossal machines in a desperate fight for Earth’s future.
