In the world of Sarai, mass flooding has wiped out Japan. Due to an abnormal genetic trait people in this land rarely live past 16, and when they do, they become hideous monsters. Order in this world is almost non-existant. One of the last forms of protection left are the warrior maids, bodyguards for hire. They will do literally anything for the client, and are hired as protective slaves. Sarai Kannagi and her partner, Flicker, are two of these. In their adventures they fight humans-transformed-into-giant-rock monsters, hairy arctic people, and other abominations of the future barren world. (Source: Anime News Network)

Kuji Shousuke’s life changed forever when he was running through an airport trying to get a story for the magazine he writes for and he accidentally wound up stumbling into and kissing a pop star named Cynthia. Everyone was outraged, including Cynthia, but she kissed him back. That’s when things started going strange for Shousuke; he saw people naked instead of clothed, he blacked out, he attacked people without remembering any of it. Just when it looks like his life is going straight to hell, he meets Yuma, who fairly quickly figures out that something was done to him. Yuma is a psychic, and with her band of followers they try to figure out what was done to Shousuke. And that’s when things get truly strange...
