One day a gate to another world opens in the city of Mikado. Intruders from another dimension, called neighbors, overrun the area around the gate, creating a wave of fear in the city. Then a mysterious group called Border emerges to fight the Neighbors. In a very short time they build a gigantic base and a defense system against the intruders. Four years have passed since then.
