Gad Guard

ガドガード

In a future where Earth's resources have been depleted, society is divided into isolated Units. Hajiki Sanada lives with his family in Night Town, a district of Unit 74 where all electricity is cut off at midnight. His life changes forever when he accidentally comes into contact with a mysterious object known as a GAD, which reacts to human emotions and transforms into a massive robot, a Tekkoudo or "Iron Giant," that he names Lightning.

Hajiki soon discovers he is not the only one to possess such a powerful machine. As he encounters other Tekkoudo and their pilots, he is drawn into conflicts and forced to confront others who share his unique bond. He must navigate this new reality and decide how to deal with those he perceives as being the same as himself, all within the stark, resource-scarce world of Night Town.
