Synopsis
In 1939, the Neuroi, a mysterious alien force wielding devastating technology, threatened Earth with extinction. Their invasion obliterated nations and overwhelmed human military capabilities. In response, global powers collaborated to develop the Striker Unit, an advanced device designed to counter Neuroi technology. The young girls who operated these units, known as Witches, became humanity's last hope, harnessing enhanced magical abilities and powerful weaponry beyond the reach of ordinary humans. By 1944, teenager Yoshika Miyafuji joins the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, nicknamed the "Strike Witches." Lacking any formal training, Miyafuji must learn to cooperate with her fellow Witches. Can she gain the skills necessary to stand against the Neuroi and protect humanity?
