Synopsis:

In a world where interstellar law enforcement intersects with terrestrial culture, *Birdy the Galaxy Hunter* follows the unexpected entanglement of a Space Federation officer and an Earth-bound human. Pursuing an alien fugitive disguised within the fashion industry, Birdy assumes a new identity as a model to infiltrate his network. Her pursuit leads her to Tsutomu Senkawa, a high school student caught in the crossfire. A tragic accident results in Birdy merging with Senkawa's consciousness, creating a unique, shared body.

The series explores the challenges of coexisting with a drastically different personality and lifestyle while navigating the complexities of high school, a demanding modeling career, and ongoing threats from the galactic underworld. It presents a blend of action and slice-of-life elements, examining themes of identity, responsibility, and the blurred lines between duty and personal connection within an unconventional framework.
