What the Protective God takes will never return.

An unlikely trio, each of whom has lost something dear to them, find themselves journeying to unravel the secrets of the Protective God and the Quietists.

The world is infested by Kaigyo: fish that walk on land, eat concrete, and destroy buildings. Their typical behavior is bizarre enough, but ten years ago, Jaytle Nish witnessed these pests become murderers while under the command of a mystery person clad in black and ate his parents whole. He takes on a job exterminating the fish while looking for leads but instead finds a strange woman eating poisonous kaigyo flesh.

Saburo is a normal kid—or at least he tries to be, but the bizarre finds its way to him with alarming precision. First, a weirdo with a samurai haircut clad in just underwear is hanging around his town, then his father builds an honest-to-god time machine that looks like a giant metal smoking pipe. A quick test of the pipe time machine flings the poor boy into the outer realms of space where robots, space captains and a girl who looks very similar to a friend at home await him. Keep all limbs in the pipe and prepare for a funny, fast-paced, and very bizarre adventure in The Pipe Machine!

High school student Tsukushi has got the look of a thug, but he has one pressing issue: he's a weakling through and through. Sure, he has the earnestness to learn, but that can only take a person so far. Warabi, on the other hand, is a crazy strong elementary school student, but doesn't have anyone she considers a friend. A chance encounter with a lion escaping from a zoo brings the two together, where they realize, despite a myriad of differences, they have plenty in common too. If anyone can be a student in the pursuit of strength, can anyone also be a teacher? With art inspired by 80s shonen manga, this is a vegetable you'll not only want to enjoy first but all the way till the last bite!
