## Synopsis

When gates to another dimension opened and monstrous Neighbors began pouring into a Japanese city, an organization called Border rose to defend it, arming its agents with Trigger technology. Osamu Mikumo is a low-ranked, unremarkable agent with more determination than talent — until he crosses paths with Yuma Kuga, a mysterious, powerful boy who turns out to be a Neighbor himself. Alongside the sharpshooter Chika, they navigate Border's ranked squad system, where battles are won through positioning, teamwork, and out-thinking the enemy. It's a refreshingly cerebral action series that treats every fight like a chess match.
