Rikujou Bouei-tai Mao-chan

Japan faces an invasion that conventional armed forces are poorly equipped to handle: the aliens are simply too adorable for the public to accept a harsh military response. Three little girls, Mao, Misora and Sylvia, are selected to represent the land, air and sea defenses.

Their transformation badges provide uniforms rather than instant expertise. Between school and missions, the young defenders must find the courage and teamwork to stop visitors whose cuteness is itself a formidable obstacle.
