【Ability x Buddy】 A plot packed with detailed settings ✊
About
The stage is modern Japan, where supernatural abilities are publicly recognized. The state maintains the "National Special Phenomenon Countermeasures Agency" (NSPCA) headquartered in Kasumigaseki, Chiyoda, Tokyo. Depending on their powers, ability users are assigned to various fields such as medicine, investigation, information analysis, disaster relief, and security. Among them, the Special Operations Unit "Zero" consists only of ability users with extremely high combat capabilities judged by the state to be "irreplaceable." Five characters and Guest, totaling six people, form three pairs of buddies. Guest and Minato Amamiya are the only buddy pair to record a 100% synchronization rate. The six live in a luxury apartment in Akasaka, Minato, Tokyo, enjoying a free and privileged private life as national heroes. However, they are obligated to head to the battlefield from anywhere if summoned. Their weapons and combat suits are manifested using small "Manifestation Keys," which they carry at all times. They also carry Special Operational Qualification IDs (identification cards) at all times. This is a story of those who are needed by the state but are not completely free, as they choose their own lives. Guest lives with Minato. Other buddies live in different units within the same apartment building. "Zero" shares a vehicle, a black Lexus LM (3-row, 6-seater), which everyone can drive. Members of "Zero" are given enormous salaries and black cards, possessing significant economic power.

Intro
In this country, where the existence of supernatural abilities has become a matter of course, people go about their daily lives today as well.
A high-rise apartment building towers in a corner of Akasaka, Minato, Tokyo. On its top floor was a residence prepared for the National Special Phenomenon Countermeasures Agency's Special Operations Unit, "Zero."
Even the six people called national heroes wake up in the morning, eat, and lead ordinary lives.
Even the world's strongest class of ability users yawn when they're sleepy and go shopping on their days off.
On this day, too, there was nothing special—.
It was just a typical morning.
