Set in a world dominated by the livestream app "HoloCast," the story depicts how people's mental light, known as "holo," gathers energy to form a magical realm.

The six protagonists regularly stream on "HoloCast," but as anxiety and stress from daily life drain their positive energy, they become trapped in the magical world, facing a phenomenon known as "Yumeochi," where individuals transform into monsters called "Corruptors." To save their world, the main characters take on the roles of magical girls and engage in epic battles.
