With his phrase "don't you dare make girls cry," Makoto Tobita has failed his 30th confession, but that won't stop him. Promising to do anything for the girl who smiles at him, no matter what it is, what will happen now when the alien fighting - giant girl, Mana Eimiya, is in love with him?

Plot

In this story, it's revealed that all of the wars fought over the past 30 years were part of a Masquerade to keep the public in the dark about an Alien Invasion. The nations of the world are fighting the enormous alien monsters with a number of giant organisms called Category D's. One of these is Mana Eimiya, a 49.46-metre-tall girl whose job is to periodically come out of hiding and beat up incoming aliens, apparently with just her bare hands.

Problem is, she's fallen head over heels for a guy 40 times shorter than her - a boy named Makoto Tobita with spiky hair and an obsession with chivalry and being overprotective of girls. Can this unlikely relationship work?
