Twenty-five years after Éclair and Lumière, (from the flagship Kiddy Grade series), rescued the galaxy from destruction's doorstep, the GTO (Galactic Trade Organization), created after the defeat of the GOTT (Galactic Organization of Trade and Tariffs), act on behalf of universal peace by combating criminal activity. Their special ES division mirrored after the GOTT's ES (Encounter of Shadow-work) force, now includes publicly acknowledged ES member candidates. The series follows three such trainees, Ascoeur, Q-feuille, and Di-air as they work their way to ES membership.

The anime aired from autumn of 2009 until spring of 2010, and was produced by studio Satelight, based on a story by gímik. Set 50 years after the original series, Kiddy Girl-and introduced two new female protagonists, Ascœur (アスクール, Asukūru)[4] and Q-feuille (ク・フィーユ, Ku Fīyu).[5] The manga version, with story by Hidefumi Kimura and art by Yukari Higa (Shina Dark), is being serialized in the magazine Comp Ace, starting March 26, 2009.[6]
