Their story unfolds in Tomobiki, a town teeming with a diverse array of bizarre characters. This includes the richest boy on Earth, a superhuman schoolgirl, a fire-breathing baby, a powerful priestess/school nurse, and a psychotic alien vixen. The cast also features a gender-bending martial artist, an alien biker chick, an ice queen from Neptune, a deranged monk, and a giant ghost cat, among hundreds of other lunatic personalities.
