Soji Mitsuka, an ordinary high school boy, has an obsession for twintail hair. He encounters a mysterious girl named Twoearle, who is from a parallel world, when monsters appear in his town and declare that all twintails in the world belong to them. These monsters feed off "attribute strength", the spiritual energy of humans. Twoearle entrusted Soji with Tail Gear, imaginary armor initiated by powerful twintail attributes. With the armor, Soji transforms into a girl and twintail warrior (ツインテイルズ関係者, tsuinteiruzu kankei-sha) branded Tail Red, to protect Earth.
Ultimegil (アルティメギル, Arutimegiru) is an organization of phantom-monsters called Eremerian that traverse different worlds, seeking a variety of "attributes". Although they are the villains of the story, the majority of them are rather silly and comical and behave much like otakus, often admiring cute girls, collecting dolls, and even adoring the twintail heroines. Having discovered Earth is rich in "attributes", they began to colonize and make plans to conquer the Earth. Members include:
