Story

In a world where every event is like a computer program, the mysterious creatures called "Promin" maintain the world. However, many Promins have corrupted into viruses and bugs called "Bugmin". Left alone, they may eventually become a big problem. The boy Yuto, along with Wanda, and the pair use a camera-like device and essential items to capture Bugmin. They possess numerous abilities called "Kamiwaza", such as "accelerate", "spew fire", and "create”, and can fend off Bugmin with them. At first, the Bugmin only causes little, bothersome things, but it will soon escalate into a global-scale threat.
