A HYPER-CRAZY, BATTLE-ACTION, HUMAN COMEDY DRAMA starring the B**CH ANGEL SISTERS on a rampage!

In Daten City, a realm between heaven and hell, sinister spirits known as "Ghosts" prowl the streets, feeding on human desires and resentment.

Yet, in the darkest moments, two figures emerge to obliterate these vengeful beings with a divine light beyond human understanding.

Their names? Panty & Stocking!

These fallen angel sisters have been tasked with purging the darkness engulfing the earth.

But who are they, really?

Are they truly messengers of God... or agents of the Devil?
