On August 10, 2014, Earth was visited by a race of friendly aliens, pursued by another species, who turned our planet into a [[AlienInvasion giant battlefield]]. Humanity emerged victorious, but huge quantities of alien "[[GreenRocks Lambda energy]]" was released onto Earth in the conflict, [[MassSuperEmpoweringEvent giving some humans superpowers]] and turning animals into [[{{Kaiju}} giant monsters]]. To combat the emerging monsters and [[{{Supervillain}} humans who use their superpowers for evil]], humanity created the Earth Defense Force, which unites the precious few {{superhero}}es and scores of {{muggle}} support personnel to defend the planet for all manner of threats.

In the year 2075, two [[IncestSubtext very affectionate]] sisters, Miyuki and Yuri Kitajishi, run the EDF Counseling Service in the Japanese town of Kataoka, helpign superheroes and EDF employees alike deal with psychological strain of their line of work. In-between that, they help EDF in their battles against monsters and supervillains, which seem to be getting more and more frequent in the region. And on top of everything, Yuri is actually the ex-MagicalGirl Lily Cure--the greatest hero the world has ever seen, who lost most of her powers but can use them briefly in time of dire need, at a [[CastFromHitpoints heavy cost to her health]].

Added DiffLines:

* ThereAreNoTherapists: Downplayed. The EDF makes an honest effort to give the superheroes and their own employees ''some'' kind of psychological support for confronting the horrors they fight every day, but because EDF is so short on hands, said effort basically boils down having two high school students (one of whom is a burnt-out superhero herself) talk with them whenever said girls are not busy with other duties.

* BroughtDownToNormal: Being a superhero is a time-limited deal, so they only get to use their powers for five years, tops. Most end up burning through their powers in a year or two.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Discussed and partly deconstructed in the very first chapter, which concerns the mentality and difficulties of a ''former'' superhero trying to adjust back to a civilian life. Both Presidentman and Yuri/Lily have the CHS bad, so after losing their powers, they can't help but enlist in EDF.
