Having been admitted to Cosmo Academy, Frol and Tada are now having a rough time adjusting to a couple's life, with Tada regularly outperforming Frol in academics - and, to their chagrin, popularity. While the two try (and often fail) to navigate this change in relationship dynamic, they then receive a warm invitation from their old friend, King Mayan Baceska, to visit him at his palace on planet Aritosca Le during a month of holiday festivities. However, Tada's intuition begins to give him ominous and mysterious visions regarding King and the two set off to meet him, and potentially save him from an ill-omened future.

From The Pink Panzer:

In the year 2999, only eleven cities still survive on Earth. The climate has changed drastically, and a biochemical apocalypse has made women extinct. For centuries, the male population of Earth has survived by depending on only one woman, called the Holy Mother, whose ova are harvested to create genetically engineered children. By now, any concept of a world in which women exist as ordinary people is long gone. Society has re-structured itself around all-male families, and relationships between men and adolescent boys have become the norm.

At the beginning of Marginal, the Holy Mother is assassinated by a terrorist known as Grinja. The government in power doesn't want to start a mass panic, so it pretends that the Holy Mother has only shed her vessel, and that she will be miraculously "reborn" in the near future. The public, which is superstitious and devout, believes this easily. Only government officials know that behind the scenes, there is a frantic effort to create a being able to give birth.

The manga's story revolves around Kira, who becomes involved in a three-way relationship with Grinja, the aforementioned terrorist, and Ashijin, a young man who calls himself Kira's owner. A complex plot and flawless world-building make the story irresistible, and Kira's search for freedom is as symbolic as it is gripping.
