20XX Japan is filled with technology of all kinds, ranging from microwaves to advertisements in the sky. Although this world is filled with such high technology, that hasn't stopped monsters from existing. 

Kaito, age 17, feels like he isn't your average 17-year-old. Most can run, laugh, and even find girlfriends, but Kaito feels non-existent a majority of the time. He is always tired. His hair is already white. And worst of all, he likes the cutest girl in his class, Sakura Uchiyama. The only problem with that is that she has her eyes on his close acquaintance, Daisuke Kageyama. 

Feeling like the loser he is, Kaito decides to just accept reality. He couldn't be like the other 17-year-olds at his school, and he was never going to be cool like Daisuke. However, one magical day, a monster is about to destroy Kaito's hometown. Knowing he could never take on this monster, he faints. Although he thought he fainted, he found himself...standing right in front of him?! How was this possible? Were there two Kaitos in this world?
