s has inspired a fashion of near-total nudity to show that one has a fully human body. It revolves around the character Rachel (also translated as Reichieru and Raychel), who comes to Ragnarock City, the largest city in the world, to attend college.
A drama CD based on Ragnarock City was released in April, 2003.
There was a reason why Rachel was isolated from much of the world – she is a member of one of the "Winged Races", a very rare race – so much so that the mere mention of one's existence is liable to cause unwanted trouble. In Rachel's case, these wings usually appear as semi-transparent butterfly wings. Rachel only revealed these wings to her mother and kept them a secret – until her first night at Raganarok City, when Kaede accidentally saw them when Rachel was asleep.
As one of the "Winged Races", Rachel has several abilities. Besides the wings, she also possesses greater strength and stamina than normal humans. But also, in times of stress, she is able to generate a powerful energy blast.
