Synopsis:

Youtarou Hanabusa desires an ordinary existence, but his membership in the Knights of the World presents a constant challenge. Haunted by a condition he terms "White Knight Syndrome," Youtarou is compelled to intervene in any situation involving distress. To navigate this involuntary heroism, he relies on a mask to conceal his actions. His life takes an unexpected turn when he rescues Makio Kidouin, the daughter of a prominent family.

This encounter thrusts Youtarou into a world of privilege and unconventional circumstances. He must balance protecting Makio from those who would exploit her status with maintaining his anonymity as Knight Lancer. The series explores themes of identity, responsibility, and the complexities of navigating social divides within a fantastical setting populated by eccentric characters and hidden agendas. The narrative blends action with comedic elements, charting Youtarou's adaptation to a life far removed from his initial aspirations.
