Gatchaman Crowds

Hajime Ichinose is a rather eccentric schoolgirl who is obsessed with notebooks. One day, she is approached by a mysterious man named J.J. who pulls out a journal called a NOTE from her body, declaring her to be the new member of the elusive Gatchaman team.

Hajime annoys Sugane when she allows the MESS to escape. Later, she teaches Sugane about a popular social app called GALAX, which allows users in the vicinity to help each other, and decides to take him to an offline meet-up.

Hajime befriends the MESS, which she nicknames Messy, and the abduction cases involving the MESS stop. The other Gatchaman begin to wonder whether they were hostile at all. The next day, GALAX users at Hajime and Sugane's school receive word that some spoiled milk has been sent to their school, and they act together to warn the other students.

The mysterious "Crowds" are revealed to be strange beings controlled by the GALAX users. Meanwhile, Joe fights against the strange alien known as Berg Katze, but is beaten back when Katze uses a NOTE of their own.

While Hajime clashes with Sugane and Paiman about why the Gatchaman are so secretive, Rui is faced with a dissenter in one of the "Hundred", who believes that Crowds should be used to kill evil politicians.

Utsu-tsu risks her life to heal the wounded, and Hajime's identity is revealed to the world. Rui helps Hajime and Utsu-tsu evade the press, but then demands they give up being Gatchaman, because GALAX makes Gatchaman unnecessary.

Misudachi Tsubasa is an ordinary high school student in Nagaoka City. But everything changes when an alien spaceship lands crashes down right next to her house and the Tachikawa Gatchaman crew come to investigate...

Believing in her brand of justice, Tsubasa races to save a fading life with a strong wind at her back. Her rescue of Rui with Gelsadra is broadcast live nationwide, inspiring admiration for the new heroes among the people of Japan. As she strikes a blow to end the conflict, a new chapter begins...

The prime minister elections have finally begun. While Sugayama's predicted to win by a landslide, Gelsadra uses his powers to discern what the people want. What he promises his supporters is enough to create a rift even among the Gatchamen.

With the support of a majority of voters in the smartphone election, Gelsadra becomes the prime minister. He quickly absorbs knowledge and gains an understanding of politics in Japan.
