Chapter 0 is a story focusing on Kurokagi and his motivations for joining Tarouza's side as a protector, and most of the early chapters focus on Monoko, Tarouza's adopted mother.

However, by the epilogue, the other heroes have come to see Jyu as a friend, and it is even implied that [[spoiler:Jyu ends up with Riemu and the two have children together]], apparently forgetting that Jyu was still pretty much the psycopathic predator he was introduced as.
