Story[edit]
On planet Tokinea, a huge war between the humans and the indigenous alien species, The Star Inhabitant (星の民）, was ongoing. Humans were overpowered by The Star Inhabitants' power to control nature and came to the conclusion to produce a bionic human weapon named the Majin (lit. Demon God, Bionic Demigod). The 7th Majin, Majin No. 7, was also ordered to roll out to the battlefield. In the battlefield, she meets a male child soldier, Yuuri, and teams up with him.
