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.
