Matsunaga Mikage are twins with completely different personalities. Tomomi shows a tomboy attitude with a love for sports and short hair. Mikage is more feminine with her hair long and dressier clothes. She is also a stronger student - even if she does have the tendency to occasionally blow up the Chemistry club. Both of the girls have boyfriends.

Tomomi tends to be less romantic than her sister, but she cares for her boyfriend. What makes these girls different is their psychic powers. They both have limited telekinesis, can communicate with each other via telepathy and can even teleport when they cooperate.

Miracle Girls focuses on the relationships of the twins and the scrapes they get into when they use their powers.

Begin cheesy RPG backstory component. In a parallel world all is rustic and medieval styled bliss in the land of Villgust. However the stirrings of a dark and evil god brings monstrous beings into existence who begin to terrorize the land. Should he fully awaken this monstrous horde will be even more fearsome than they are now, surely causing the world to descend into endless darkness.

The goddess Windina watches with concern, and chooses to respond by selecting 8 heros of the land. Blessing them, and watching over them, she believes that they will be a powerful force and provide leadership against this encroaching evil. Although, when you look at the rather exotic bunch she picked, you've also got to figure that Windina has a rather active sense of humour. There's no doubt they're powerful, but boy are they weird.

The Soyokaze, to put it bluntly, is the disgrace of the UPSF, and a dumping ground for the dregs of the universe. Even so, Tylor remains undaunted... after all, why should he care? He's only the captain, after all...
