Acro Trip follows the story of Date Chizuko, a girl obsessed with the magical girl Berry Blossom, who protects her city. She witnesses a battle between Berry and the evil organization Fossa Magna, but there’s not much to behold as the organization’s leader, Chrome, is not that strong. “I want magical girls to shine even brighter… Be stronger and face hardships!” This desire leads Chizuko down the path of evil.
