In the early 2000s, “heroes” possessing superhuman abilities came to dominate the world. Within Japan, the prevailing view became that heroes equaled military force. Because Japan is constitutionally prohibited from maintaining armed forces, the country has remained without heroes to this day.
Nagare, a freeter who has lived by a personal rule never to lie due to a certain reason, finds himself unable to fit in with those around him and stuck at rock bottom. One day, Nagare is secretly summoned by the Ministry of Defense. There, he encounters six others: Sae, an office worker; Chuta, a university student; Yutani, a truck driver; Sapipi, a high school girl; Fujiwara, an elderly woman; and Mizuno, a researcher. In truth, all seven of them harbor a particular ability.
“You have been selected as Japan’s first reserve Self-Defense Heroes.”
What is the true reason that Ministry of Defense official Madozumi has secretly gathered these seven ability holders…? And as for Nagare, who has sealed away his own power, he ends up telling a lie…
