The moment small town girl Misaki Suzuhara arrives in Tokyo, she is thrust into the excitement of Angelic Layer-a high-tech, fast-paced game where dolls called Angels are controlled by the thoughts of their operators, also called Deus.

12-year-old Misaki is beginning school in Tokyo. Upon arriving she spots a competition being broadcast called Angelic Layer - the latest high tech battle game fought by using dolls (Angels). Enchanted with one of the Angels she sees fighting, Misaki is inspired to create her own Angel and it leads her on an adventure that she never even dreamed was possible before coming to Tokyo!

Nobody thought Misaki Suzuhara would make it this far in the Angelic Layer tournament. After a rocky start and some less than honorable opponents, she's well on her way to victory. But her latest opponent is her most difficult yet. Ohjiro Mihara is called the Prince of the Layer, and for good reason. With his speed-type angel, Wizard, he's unstoppable. Has Misaki reached the end of the road?
