An unknown type of alien called the "Kiseichuu" invades Earth. They plunder "H-Energy" in an attempt to make mankind extinct. To save the Earth from the alien threat, high school boy Retto Enjo joins the "HxEros" team, partnering with four beautiful high school girls, one of whom is his childhood friend Kirara Hoshino. However, it turns out that Kirara's personality has drastically changed, which leads to an estrangement between the two childhood friends.

• Retto Enjo: • A second year high school student who lives in Saitama. He joined HxEros at the recommendation of his uncle after his childhood friend, Kirara Hoshino, was attacked by a Kiseichuu when they were children. Despite the rift between them following the Kiseichuu attack, he continues to have feelings for her. At the end of the series, he confesses to Kirara and they become a couple. • Kirara Hoshino: • Kirara is Retto's childhood friend. Once having an outgoing personality when she was younger, Kirara changed after she was attacked by a Kiseichuu, to the point she avoids boys in general. Despite that, she retains feelings for Retto. • Momoka Momozono: • An energetic and athletic girl, Momoka joined HxEros thanks to her rivalry with her older sister, Sonoka, who is a model.

As such, she is despised and imprisoned by her species. • Runba: • A puppy who lives at Retto's house. • Shiko Murasame: • A member of HxEros who works for the Tokyo Branch. Thanks to her XERO gear, she has a very insensitive body.
