Meet Yui Morizoni. On the surface, she’s just ordinary girl-next-door type, except she can spin-kick a bully into next Tuesday with her black-belt karate chops and a sense of justice that’s cranked up to eleven.
In her city, which is permanently gloomier than a coffee shop philosopher, skulks the mega-creepy syndicate, Zyderg. And Yui? She got tapped to be the city’s personal night-light. When these goons pop off, her entire existence does a hard reboot. We’re talking a full-body light show that would put a rave to shame, wrapping her in armor so shiny you need sunglasses at midnight. With a shout, “In the name of the holy glow-stick that wrecks shop on shadows, I am the Sacred Sparkle Princess, Pony Celeste! Reporting for sparkly duty!” she’s ready to throw down. Day in, day out, she’s the guardian angel with a right hook, her heart burning with more righteous fire than a jalapeño popper.
But lately, the villainy has leveled up from “annoying mosquito” to “oh-crap-we’re-all-gonna-die.” A brand-new nightmare monster, taking orders from some smug suit claiming to be a top Zaideg brass, has crashed the party.
