On July 41st in the Shinka Era, Jirou Hitoyoshi was assigned to secretly listen in on a meeting between a top government scientist and an industrial spy. However, his cover was blown, and it turned out that the spy was actually an alien disguised as a human. Amidst the ensuing chaos, Jirou sought help from cafe waitress Kikko Hoshino, who happened to be a magical girl and a member of the "superhumans" secretly protecting humanity from extraterrestrial threats. As part of his job at the Super Population Research Laboratory, Jirou was responsible for both protecting superhumans that defended humanity and disposing of any deemed too dangerous to live. Kikko proved herself a valuable ally, and she was invited to join the agency as its newest recruit.
Five years later, disapproval and distaste towards superhumans had become widespread in Tokyo due to government corruption, conflicting ideas about justice, and debates over superhuman rights. Under mysterious circumstances, Jirou betrayed the agency and became a fugitive on the run. While skulking through Shinjuku's rainy back alleys, he was pursued by the very same superhumans that he had once recruited.
