Synopsis
Hikaru bonds with sentient weapon Alma, joining ARMS to protect mechanical arms from exploitation.
Hikaru Amatsuga's quiet life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Alma, a mysterious mechanical arm that seems to possess its own consciousness. After Alma bonds with his clothing, Hikaru finds himself thrust into a hidden world where sentient weapons known as mechanical arms exist alongside humanity. These extraordinary devices typically merge with their users, creating powerful partnerships that blur the line between human and machine. Soon, Hikaru catches the attention of ARMS, an organization dedicated to safeguarding mechanical arms from those who would misuse them. As he navigates this dangerous new reality, Hikaru must learn to understand both the nature of these living weapons and his own unexpected connection to them. With enemies lurking who view mechanical arms as nothing more than tools to be exploited, Hikaru's journey will challenge everything he thought he knew about power, identity, and what it means to protect those who cannot protect themselves.

Hikaru Amatsuga's days of tranquility come to a sudden end when he rescues Alma, a mechanical arm crying for help. Alma fuses with his jacket, introducing Hikaru to the world of mechanical arms: mysterious, sentient weapons that normally become a part of their users' bodies. Forced to flee for his life, Hikaru is eventually captured by Aki Murasame, a twin mechanical arms user working for ARMS, an organization that protects the machines against unethical treatment. The Kagami Group, a nefarious organization that treats mechanical arms as mere tools, seeks to recover Alma. Hikaru is deemed a failure by ARMS for his lack of natural predisposition to be an mechanical arm wielder, so Aki is assigned to be his bodyguard. But Aki is defeated by Jun Kagami, who cruelly tears out her two mechanical limbs, condemning the girl to a slow death. Unwilling to abandon Aki to her grim fate, Hikaru miraculously awakens his power and neutralizes Kagami. Now a full member of ARMS, Hikaru is determined to unravel the truth about mechanical arms and protect his newfound friends and allies.
