    Synopsis:

    Centuries after a devastating conflict with extraterrestrial entities, humanity’s struggle for survival hinges on a dwindling defense force. The "Topless," pilots gifted with unique abilities, operate colossal war machines known as Buster Machines in a desperate bid to repel the relentless Space Monsters. The past remains largely obscured; the origins of the war are fragmented and fading into myth.

    Nono, a young woman yearning for escape from her isolated Martian home, is captivated by the legend of a famed Topless pilot. She impulsively sets her sights on following Lal'C Melk Mark, a solitary pilot burdened by a shadowed history. Their connection forms amidst a backdrop of cosmic conflict and faded memories. The series explores themes of legacy, ambition, and the weight of responsibility in a world grappling with an unending war against an unknown enemy. It offers a character-driven narrative within a visually detailed sci-fi setting.
