In a summer vacation, a group of 15 children discovered a mysterious man living in a seashore cave, along with his high-tech gadgets. The man claimed to be a game developer creating a video game with a giant robot defending Earth from 15 alien invaders, and asked those childs to test the game for him. The kids agreed happily at first, but soon they began to find the game horrifying, not only because of its realism but also because the first fatality among them happened right after their first victory. Worse yet, they had no idea how to stop or leave the "game."
The storyline follows a-team of pirate mercenaries called Lagoon Company, that smuggles goods around the seas of Southeast Asia in the early to mid 90's. Their base of operations is situated in the fictional seaport city of Roanapur in south-east Thailand (someplace in the Amphoe Mueang Trat district, probably on the mainland north/north-east of the Ko Chang island or on the isle itself). The isle is home to an extensive range of all kinds of pickpockets, thugs, mercenaries, thieves, prostitutes, assassins, and Gunmen, the Triad, French and Cuban cartels, and the Yakuza. They transport items in the 80-foot (24 m) Elco-kind PT boat Black Lagoon. Lagoon Company does business with various customers, but has a specially friendly relationship with all the Russian crime syndicate Hotel Moscow. The group assumes many different assignments--which might involve brutal firefights, hand-to-hand combat, and nautical conflicts--in different Southeast Asian places, even going as significantly as Phu Quoc island of Vietnam and when not doing much, the members of the Lagoon Company spend much of the down time in The Yellow Flag, a pub in Roanapur which is usually ruined in firefights.

Stories about the "chairudo". The title of the series is written with kanji which mean "small-kind-people", but Ogino gives them unusual readings so that it becomes a clever pun for "child".
Chairudo are childlike people (even when they have become adults) with each an exceptional supernatural gift, a power. Some are "firestarters" for example. The main character, Hinagata Heiji, looks like a loser, but looks are deceptive. He has the uncanny ability to bring to life every inanimate object by bringing the object in touch with his blood. He wanders around, enlisting himself in a school from time to time (after all, he looks like a child). But every "chairudo" has got its own territory and conflicts between them, especially about the females, are numerous.

To use his ability for the goods and helping people, is Kasuga Rito's hidden wish he's had for so long. But to do that, he needs to gain the power (magic) first. Rito is a sophomore in Rezon Institute, a school for people with special magic abilities to find, train, and develop their skills. Each student has to reach 100 points to be able to start using their ability, otherwise they won't move up to "Starlight" class.
