Synopsis
In the near future, when the perfected space elevator has triggered the era of space colonization, an accident occurs, involving the raiding of a space station by an unknown enemy organization named "Oblicuse". The human race plummet into a space war with an extraterrestrial life form for the first time. In order to resist the overwhelming technology of the Oblicuse, Chronos Incorporated decides to scout the descendants of historical heroes from around the world to fuse them with battle suits known as Gears to create specialized biological weapons called Chronos Gears. These Chronos Gears would train within a specially established school campus to prepare for combat. The descendants of heroes such as Ryouma Sakamoto, Musashi Miyamoto, Napoleon Bonaparte and Jean d'Arc now gather to save the solar system!

The manga release has already been announced to start on the G-Mode Web Comic Magazine, COMIC Meteor. The OVA will also be released this summer. The game will materialize Gear combat, while preserving the atmosphere of the world setting in the anime. In-game illustrations are planned to be drawn by various popular mangakas. More information is to come on the official webpage.
