Mobile game company G-mode has teamed up with Anime International Company (AIC) to create a new multimedia franchise named Katayoku no Khronos Gear which will include a game and manga by G-mode and an OVA from AIC which will get a release this summer.



Synopsis

Then a mysterious extraterrestrial enemy, known as “Obliquus”, raid a space station as a prelude to their invasion of the solar system.
