8	It’s an odd mix of an unconventional MagicalGirl comedy series and a parody of the {{Superhero}} genres. Nanako is a young girl, she has superpowers, but has also lost her memory. She's found by a greedy and opportunistic TeenGenius student named Yotsuya who promises to help her get her memory if she will join his detective agency. In reality, he only wants to use her powers for his own personal gain and for his agency, although the naïve Nanako is unaware of it. Meanwhile, Yotsuya's short, nerdy best friend Iidabashi falls in love with Nanako. Throughout the story, Nanako will face several bizarre villains who are also interested in her for various reasons.
