Plot

Ginta Toramizu, a 14-year-old Tokyo junior high student with poor eyesight and a passion for fairy tales and video games, is unexpectedly transported to the fantastical world of MÄR Heaven. In this new realm, his physical limitations vanish, granting him enhanced strength and perfect vision. He encounters Dorothy, a 16-year-old witch who introduces him to magical artifacts called ÄRMs. Together they retrieve the sentient ÄRM Babbo, which Dorothy reluctantly gives to Ginta after deeming it too troublesome.

As Ginta explores MÄR Heaven with companions like farmer Jack, he discovers the world's darker aspects when targeted by thieves coveting Babbo. He later meets Alviss, who reveals having summoned Ginta using the Gate Keeper Clown ÄRM to combat the resurgent Chess Pieces organization. This group, led by King Orb and Queen Diana, previously attempted to conquer MÄR Heaven six years earlier. The narrative follows Ginta's growing involvement in the conflict against Chess Pieces while balancing his desire to return home.

MÄR Omega

Set six years after MÄR, the story follows Kai, adoptive son of an ÄRM smith, who dreams of wielding an ÄRM despite lacking magical ability. His inherited magic stone hints at lineage to Caldia, the sorcerer kingdom where all ÄRMs originate. When attacked by Chess Piece remnants, Kai discovers he can activate the sentient ÄRM Babbo, defying expectations. This draws attention from mysterious forces using "Fake ÄRMs"—magicless artifacts that drain users' life energy.

With allies Alviss and Elise, Kai travels to Caldia where the Grand Elder reveals Fake ÄRMs were created 300 years prior by dark magician Unwetter, whom Babbo (then Caldia's Elder) defeated at the cost of his life, transferring his soul into an ÄRM. When Fake ÄRM users assault Caldia, Kai awakens immense latent magic, proving his blood relation to Babbo. Joined by Inga, a descendant of Unwetter, the group embarks to recover Babbo's memory stones and confront the resurgent threat.
