In the future, Angelic Layer is the world's most popular game. Competitors must raise and train their own 'Angels' (fighting dolls) to enter tournaments. Misaki Suzuhara, a sixth-grade prodigy, joins the fray. With her speed-type angel, Hikaru, many believe Misaki has a shot at the championship. She will receive considerable assistance, yet the path to victory remains difficult, particularly for someone as young as Misaki.
