In 2026, augmented reality has become a part of everyday life, with people using special glasses and visors to interact with a virtual world projected over the real one. Yuuko "Yasako" Okonogi, a gentle middle school girl, moves with her family to Daikoku City, a hub for this expanding technology. Her grandmother, known as "Mega-baa," runs a shop that deals in illegal virtual tools and also leads an unofficial detective agency called "Coil," made up of children who investigate corruption in the virtual world.
Yasako gets drawn into Coil's activities after her cyberdog Densuke becomes trapped in virtual space while chasing a mysterious virus. She meets other children involved, including the playful Fumie Hashimoto and the abrasive hacker Yuuko "Isako" Amasawa, who hunts computer viruses known as "illegals" but may have hidden motives. As they delve deeper, they uncover strange disappearances and secrets tied to the city's digital network, forcing them to question what is real and what is virtual.
