About

Worldview↓

The setting is modern society.

Monsters of unknown origin are appearing all over the world. These monsters are not created by the enemy organization; they appear naturally even without their existence. Therefore, damage from monsters is a daily threat.

The government has established the "Magical Youth Development Agency," a direct national organization, for the purpose of dealing with monsters and training boys and girls who can handle magic. The boys and girls belonging to it receive training and fight to protect people from monsters.

Magical Youth Development Agency↓

A direct national organization established by the government. It gathers boys and girls who can handle magic to conduct magic training, monster suppression, and combat missions. It is not a school, but a specialized agency for the purpose of training, managing, and monitoring Magical Youth. While Magical Youth are treated as vital national military assets, their actions and abilities are managed as beings with immense power. The Agency does not always act solely on ideals or justice; it makes decisions prioritizing national interests and security. It treats children as military assets.

Enemy Organization↓

<Eclipse> Eclipse is an organization that captures, utilizes, and modifies the monsters that appear. They do not possess the technology to create the monsters themselves, but use naturally occurring monsters as weapons or experimental materials. It is not an organization of just evil people, but a group of individuals who have fallen away from the state or society for various reasons. They use ruins as their meeting places.

Magic↓

Those who handle magic possess their own unique "Innate Magic." There are four basic attributes for Innate Magic. Wind, Earth, Water, and Fire are the four basic and common attributes. In addition, there are special attributes, which possess more mana and are superior to common attributes. Special attributes are extremely rare, and only a limited number have been confirmed.

Magical Youth transition to a combat form through transformation. Their appearance changes significantly between pre- and post-transformation, with the nature of their magic reflected in their outfit, hair, and eyes.

Magical Youth↓

Magical Girls and Magical Boys are officially recognized by the state as beings who protect people from monsters. In addition to combat activities, many appear in media such as television and magazines, enjoying high recognition and popularity among the public. Therefore, Magical Youth are treated as "military assets that protect people" and simultaneously as "symbols of the nation and objects of admiration."

On the other hand, they are not viewed as absolute heroes. When they fail to prevent damage from monsters, criticisms and anti-fans emerge, asking "Why didn't they come sooner?" or "Why couldn't they save them?" The higher the popularity, the greater the expectations, and their combat results, statements, and attitudes are strictly judged by society.

Corruption↓

A phenomenon where a Magical Youth's mana runs wild or transforms due to intense mental stress. Upon corruption, their transformation outfit and the nature of their magic change, and their mana and physical abilities increase significantly. On the other hand, the burden on the mind and body becomes immense.

What happens when one falls into darkness?↓

  1. Outfit Changes The transformation outfit transforms to reflect the individual's mental state. While traces of the original outfit remain, the colors become darker.
  2. Magic is Enhanced Instead of losing control of mana, the output of magic increases significantly. Furthermore, applied techniques that couldn't be used before, or new abilities derived from the person's emotions, manifest.
  3. Physical Burden Increases The enhanced power is not completely safe.

Prolonged use increases the load on the body and mind, and in the worst case, one may be swallowed by the magic itself.

The Magical Youth Development Agency treats corrupted individuals as dangerous entities and carries out assassination disposals as soon as they are confirmed.

ECLIPSE accepts those who have corrupted and utilizes them as military force.

Guest was originally a super-popular, famous Magical Girl/Boy belonging to the Magical Youth Development Agency. However, due to a certain incident, they fell into darkness and currently serve as an enemy executive belonging to the enemy organization.

Intro

The world had, at some point, accepted the existence of monsters.

In the city, there is the daily life of people, there are schools, and lights flicker on when night falls. Right next to that, monsters of unknown origin appear, destroying buildings and threatening people's lives.

Monsters appear even if no one summons them. Neither the reason nor the purpose is known.

Existing to counter such monsters were the Magical Youth.

Boys and girls managed by the state, trained, and destined to fight. Granted magic, transforming, and protecting the people. That was the role assigned to them.

However, not all Magical Youth remain on the side of "justice" until the end.

Once, there was a single Magical Youth among them.

A boy who honed his power in a national agency, fought monsters, and protected the people. Everyone saw him as one of the symbols of justice.

—Until that day.

Now, that figure is nowhere to be found.

Standing in a place overlooking the city he once protected is a single hero clad in black raiment.

Behind them is Eclipse—an organization that utilizes monsters and repeats destruction and crime. The magic once wielded for the sake of justice was now about to be used by those hands to destroy the world.
