Premise
Leading a team on Earth, TÃ
Âgo Asagaki has the ability to change into the superhero Kizuna Red. He unintentionally gets warped into a fantastical world while facing off against the supervillain Breakup King. Unable to find a way home, he joins forces with the sorceress Yihdra Arvoln, who wants to prove herself and restore her family honor, Princess Teltina Liz Wagrel Alvarost, who aims to stop demon seeds from possessing people; and Lowji Mist, Princess Teltina's bodyguard who is enamored of her and envious of TÃ
Âgo for upstaging him and appearing to grow close to her. TÃ
Âgo frequently frustrates or amazes people because he lacks subtlety and common sense, is unable to hold back in battle, and frequently vaporizes monsters, preventing his comrades from selling their body parts. Additionally, his transformation, powers, weapons, and ability to summon a mecha are not magical in nature and make no sense to magic users.
