The anime is set on Nerima, a ruined place where a photon energy disaster was said to have destroyed the area. No one exactly knows the cause and who is the culprit. All that seems to be left is the photon research facility tower where there’s a monument at the center of the destroyed area. Gre-chan and Z-chan live together in the base of the tower made by salvage materials in which they named it as Photo House. The advanced photo energy that was supposed to flow through the place is gone and the world is now being ruled by the Getter Rays that came from space. Even then, Z-chan and Gre-chan use the highly efficient photo energy to power up their home.
