The city of Tachikawa is protected by super fighting humans known as Gatchaman, warriors equipped with special reinforced suits that are powered by NOTE; spiritual powers manifested from living beings. Hajime Ichinose, a 16 year old energetic high school girl who is obsessed with collecting day planners and stationary, is selected to become a Gatchaman. She is tasked with fighting against a mysterious alien life form known as MESS, but due to the nature of her personality she doesn't take her duties seriously. Yet her irresponsible actions end up doing more good than harm, much to the dismay of one other Gatchaman fighter.
