Plot

A century ago, mechanical life forms visited us from another dimension, seeking the life energy known as “arbitrium”, a resource that had been exhausted on their home planet. These beings compressed their bodies into “arms” in order to endure the dimensional crossing, and came to Earth in search of our abundant arbitrium supplies. By fusing with other forms of life, they became able to operate on our planet. And in secret, they made contact with a certain segment of humanity, beginning their search for the arbitrium.

Due to their appearance, people called these beings “Mecha-Ude,” or “MechaArms”.

Now, in the modern era, a cube containing a certain Mecha-Ude has been stolen from a lab owned by the megacorp known as the Kagami Group. Hikaru, a normal middle school boy, finds the cube by chance and breaks its seal. Inside is the Mecha-Ude Alma, who has just awakened from a century’s long slumber. Alma tries to fuse with Hikaru’s body, but…

A chance event leads Hikaru and Alma to start a strange life together...
