| Four years ago an incident struck Japan where aliens from another world, dubbed “Neighbors,” invaded, but were thwarted by the special agents at Border who carried futuristic weaponry called “Triggers.” Four years have passed and everyone treats these Neighbor invasions as everyday life, now with Border protecting them. Yūma Kuga, a newly transferred student, befriends a Border agent in his class, Osamu Mikumo. Together, they team up and defeat Neighbors and bullies alike, all the while learning that Yūma himself is a Neighbor; Osamu shelters him from Border, while also teaching him how to fit into Japan. In return, Osamu learns about Neighbor technology. However, he ends up taking responsibility for Yūma’s actions, which causes more problems when Border intervenes. | ||||
