Plot
A large spaceship appears over Tokyo three years before the story starts. A one-sided war against the seemingly harmless aliens ensues, sparking controversy and pacifism.
Despite this unique and tragic event, high school girls Koyama Kadode and Nakagawa Ouran behave as if nothing has changed. They live their days like they always have. The focus of this story is not the alien invasion, but human nature, dialogue, growing up, and life.
Characters
- Koyama Kadode (小山 門出)
- A girl in her third year of high school. She loves the iconic manga character Isobeyan.
- Nakagawa Ouran (中川 凰蘭)
- Ouran is a very flamboyant girl, who often rambles on about her goal to enslave or lead the human race to destruction. However, despite her seemingly flamboyant and sociable personally, Ouran tends to only show her true self to her friends and family. She is Kadode's best friend.
