WAR IS PANTS! THESE GIRLS FIGHT IN THEIRS, SO WE CAN STAY IN OURS. In 1939, a great war began in the skies. Enigmatic and brutal, the alien Neuroi have devastated nation upon nation, crushing conventional military forces. To survive, desperate countries band together to field aerial combat units of young girls capable of using magic. Armed with new technology and weapons enhanced by their powers, these flying aces, called Strike Witches, form the best defence against the invaders.
