The story begins in 2019, right before Japan changes the historical era. A rift to another dimension suddenly opened up in the sky above, revealing an alternate “turning point” world known as “Shinkoku Nippon.” This parallel version of Japan still maintains militarism and remains stuck in the Showa era. Shinkoku Nippon invades our Japan with weapon “Genmu” (which our modern weapons have no effect) and giant humanoid “Garan” weapon. The invaders immediately took over our government and all but conquered Japan. As a result, our Japan never ushered in the Reiwa era.
A decade later, our Japan was transformed into Genkoku Nippon, a puppet state of Shinkoku Nippon. Under harsh censorship, manga, anime, idols, and similar subcultures that once flourished have completely died out… or so it seemed. A secret society named Arahabaki (a Japanese abbreviation for Tokyo’s Akihabara sub-culture shopping district) emerges to oppose Shinkoku using Garanndoll weapons armed by the “pin girls”.
