The story follows Soji Mitsuka, a high school student who is obsessed with twin-tails (a hairstyle where both sides of a person's hair are tied up in tails). He believes that twin-tails provide a special source of power and that the Twin-Tails are the epitome of cute.
One day, Soji is approached by a strange girl named Thouars who tells him that she is a warrior from another world tasked with defending Earth from evil forces who want to conquer it. These villains are after the power of twin-tails which they believe can help them rule the universe. In order to fight against them, Thouars transforms Soji into a fighter who can also harness the power of twin-tails.
Soji, now using the name "Tail Red," teams up with Thouars and another twin-tail warrior named Erina Shindo (known as "Tail Blue") to fight off the evil forces and protect the twin-tails. Together, they form a team called Twirl and must face off against various enemies who seek to harness the power of twin-tails for their own nefarious purposes.
Throughout the series, Soji learns how to fight as Tail Red and gains confidence in his abilities. He also develops a deeper understanding of the importance of friendship and teamwork as he battles alongside Thouars and Erina. The show features a variety of comedic moments, utilizing typical anime tropes, as well as plenty of action-packed battles.
