Synopsis:

In a sprawling metropolis, a peculiar phenomenon is taking hold – individuals are succumbing to overwhelming stress, manifesting as monstrous transformations. To address this escalating crisis, an organization known as the Stress Team has emerged, tasked with identifying and containing these afflicted. However, their methods are… unconventional. Resisting this unsettling reality are three high school students who unexpectedly find themselves burdened with a responsibility to protect the city's citizens. They transform into the Sweet Valerians, embracing a playful facade to combat the very anxieties fueling the monster outbreaks. The series explores themes of emotional well-being and the burden of responsibility against a backdrop of urban fantasy, blending action with moments of quiet reflection on the pressures of modern life.
