Tokyo Aliens

Akira is your average young high school student, struggling in his classes and trying to get by. He lives with his mother and hopes to one day become a police officer like his late father who died in the line of duty. He looks up to more successful peers, like the dashing Shou. But one day on his way home from school, Akira encounters a woman who can shoot tentacles out of her back – because she's an alien. And furthermore, Shou ends up fighting her. Akira begins to learn there is more to the world than he knows as he becomes more involved in the secret force that protects the world from dangerous extraterrestrials.
