## Synopsis

A city is threatened by gates that connect it to another dimension, allowing beings known as Neighbors to cross over. Border, a defense organization equipped with Trigger technology, trains agents to meet that danger. Osamu Mikumo is a low ranked agent whose resolve outpaces his combat ability. His encounter with Yuma Kuga, a powerful boy with an unexpected connection to the Neighbors, changes the direction of his life. With sharpshooter Chika joining them, the group enters Border's squad system, where planning and coordination can overturn an apparent disadvantage. The premise leaves room for invasion drama, but much of the pleasure comes from watching fighters read a battlefield and adjust their approach.
