[edit] Story
An alien invasion of Tokyo is repelled by a mysterious giant being which is almost a monster in itself. This battle is witnessed by Subaru Muryou and his grandfather who comment about it and watch it as if this is nothing to be surprised or shocked about, even though everyone else seems panicked. Later, a middle schooler named Murata Hajime witnesses Muryou using some sort of super psychic power in a battle with a student council member, Moriguchi Kyoichi. This leads him to the stunning discovery that almost everyone in the school seems to know about the giant the news reported defeating the alien over Tokyo. Further to his shock it seems everyone in the older part of the small town he moved to holds this strange secret and in fact a deeper one, and has been holding it for many years.
This secret is that many of the leading families for centuries have been using their powers, and the power of the gaint called "Shingu" to protect the earth. As Hajime learns this it comes as somewhat of a shock to him that all of the current members of the middle school student council are actually the guardians of this secret and of Shingu itself for this generation. While all of these discoveries were a huge enough shock to him, Hajime also discovers that many of the town's residents are in fact intergalactic diplomats. The more he learns and the closer his friendship with Muryou, Nayuta and the other members of the student council becomes the deeper he is drawn into this open secret. Especially as his friendship with the Nayuta and Muryou grows deeper, Hajime slowly begins to realize he has a very large role to play in the future of Earth, and it's protection.
