It's about a Japanese SuperheroSchool where the students/ heroes are sentai or shonen. At first a boys school, it becomes coeducational in volume 2, introducing magical girls or ActionGirl. The story is an {{affectionate parody}} of manga, especially sentai and others well known in France. Nearly every character is a spoof of famous manga characters: For instance, Oscar sensei the costume teacher looks like the real Oscar, ''{{Rose of Versailles}}'' heroine. There are two poor and starved children, named Remi and Sarah, that spoof heroes from ''Sans Famille'' and ''{{A Little Princess}}'' animated series among others. Moreover, savvy readers will notice {{Shout Out}}s to monsters that look like {{Doraemon}} or Mike from ''{{Monsters Inc}}'', and bit players like Maetel from ''{{Galaxy Express 999}}'' in an airport.

The main characters are a {{Five Man Band}}:
* Ken Eraclor: {{The Hero}} and coldest one. He hides the fact that he's an unfinished {{Artificial Human}} and lives alone with his RobotDog, Nonos 2 ("Bony 2"), since his builder abandoned him. He's very dense, never smiles, and understands things verbatim.He's fascinated by mysteries and their solving, and explain solutions while wearing typical {{Detective Conan}} glasses.The problem is, Ken is always wrong.A good reason could be that he mistake fairy tales books with method ones.

* Shinobi Jasper: Keiji's little sister, better known as Bibi. She's so shy that she doesn't speak loud enough to be heard, except on stage, when she's angry, or [[spoiler:after the last volume when her trauma definitely ends]].
