The story begins with Shoma (Hidekazu Chinen), who arrives from another world, collapsing from hunger. He is rescued by a boy named Hajime (Ayaki Hirano), who offers him some snacks. As Shoma excitedly eats, a series of creatures called "Gochizou" start emerging. Hajime hides Shoma in his secret base, but on the way home, they encounter a mysterious man (Jin Katagiri). The man transforms into a monster named Granute and attacks Hajime.
