When Misaki moves to Tokyo, Japan, she sees two dolls fighting each other in a huge screen in front of the train station. One doll is a light model and small, the opposite doll is heavy and tall. While watching, Misaki feels bad for the light doll because it is small and it is going to be defeated by the heavy doll. Much to her surprise, the light doll actually wins the fight! Misaki wants to be the woman who controls the doll because she wants to prove that there’s nothing wrong with being small.
The game is called Angelic Layer and it’s a pretty popular game. After watching the fight she wants to play but doesn’t know where to get a doll/angel. She meets a man called Ichaan who helps her get her own Angel (the general name of the doll). After Misaki gets her doll she does the steps to awaken her and gives the angel the name, Hikaru. And here begins her Angelic Layer adventure.
The art style is cute and unique, at times they will have chibi moments just to add into the cute moment. There are fighting scenes that will have you in the edge of your chair with its more mature, but still cute, art style.
