== Summary ==

The narrative is a science‑fiction adventure that functions as a deliberate pastiche of ''Star Wars''. It centres on the planet ''Jillucia'', a peaceful world devastated by the militaristic ''Gavanas''. The Gavanas are commanded by their leader, who, in a comic inversion of imperial authority, receives directives from his mother, portrayed by actor ''Eisei Amamoto'' in drag, rather than from the Emperor.

In response to the crisis, ''King Kaiba'' releases eight ''Liabe holy seeds'', mystical artefacts intended to be received by individuals destined to defend Jillucia against the Gavanas. The seeds are acquired by a diverse group of recipients, including the seasoned ''General Garuda'', ''Gavana Prince Hans'' and several young Terrans. ''Meia'', ''Kido'' and ''Aaron'', each of whom exhibits a distinct personal reaction to being chosen.
