Shaleen was the last "Ichirin-sha" (unicyclist) in the world, traveling the world on his beat up motor unicycle. One day, when Shaleen was running from the attacks of the missile mechanoids, he stops by a ghost town and meets a mysterious girl who was constantly targeted by the mechanoids. She was a girl who had chosen to live alone in this ghost town, trying to avoid any others from getting involved. The girl rejects his company at first, but Shaleen's pushing character gradually makes her give in little by little. However, this change of the girl's emotion takes effect on the missile mechanoids, and enlarges them at an enormous size. What is the mystery of the girl's power? What will become of the battle against the gigantic missile mechanoids? This is a thrilling action-fantasy depicting the soul interaction between Shaleen and the mysterious girl, inside a unique and majestic world.
