Summary
"When transfer student Rika (Hayata) arrives at her new middle school, she immediately captivates the entire male student body, and Ken (Sayama) is no exception. His delight grows when the ethereal newcomer chooses to join his photography club. However, his initial excitement soon gives way to frustration: although Rika agrees to serve as the club’s new model, every photograph taken of her inexplicably fails to develop. By this point, Ken has already sensed that there is something decidedly unusual about her.
Convinced he has witnessed Rika dematerialise and reappear in a cascade of silver particles, Ken travels to her hometown, where he discovers a letter inscribed with mysterious symbols. He learns that Rika is, in fact, an alien dispatched to protect humanity from an impending invasion by her enemies, the inhabitants of planet NN83 Minus. These hostile beings intend to deceive Earth’s population into believing that pollution poses no danger, thereby accelerating the planet’s ecological collapse. Such destruction would also doom Rika’s own world, which depends on light reflected from Earth’s surface, though the precise mechanics of this connection remain unclear.
As the threat escalates, Ken ventures into the fourth dimension to rescue Rika, while scholars work to decipher the enigmatic letter and present their findings to the government, which dismisses the warning outright.
