Figure 17

Story & Art by Guy Nakahira

Tsubasa Shiina is a 10-year-old Tokyo girl who just moved to Hokkaido. She is very shy and unsociable to her classmates and everyone around her. Then one night, she sees a spacecraft crash in the forest near her home. She rushes to the forest to see the ship's pilot D.D. fighting an alien creature called a "Magure". During the melee, Tsubasa is exposed to D.D.'s "Rivelus", a living metallic substance that forms an exoskeleton around its user. The Rivelus bonds to Tsubasa to form the female battle armor Figure 17, which shortly defeats the Magure threat. The Rivelus then separates from Tsubasa to form an identical copy of her, calling herself Hikaru. But with other Magure eggs scattered all over Hokkaido, D.D. must rely on Tsubasa and Hikaru as Figure 17 until help from his home planet arrives.
