Based on a popular web-released manga series by Hidekazu Himaruya, this has been described as a "cynical gag" story set in Europe in the years between WW1 and WW2 (1915-1939), using exaggerated caricatures of the different nationalities as portrayed by a gaggle of bishounen boys. For example, the Italia Veneziano character is into pasta and women. The Deutsche (German) bishi loves potatoes and sausages, and Nippon is an otaku boy. Installments of the manga have jumped back and forth in setting

Gathering items with magical power is a lucrative business, controlled mainly by the Society, an organization devoted to the scientific study of unscientific objects. But like any business, there are other interested parties, some legitimate, some not. Ryuji Kisaragi gets up close and personal with some of the latter when his cousin decides to rob some black marketeers to get her hands on their "Lost Preciouses." Why his cousin Eriko brings him along is because Ryuji is a powerful Breaker, as individuals who can use Lost Preciouses are called. Not that that's much use. During their escape the box containing the artifact breaks open to reveal...a girl. Soon to be dubbed Rose, the girl is no simple kidnap victim though; she's a powerful red dragon. And boy does she like Ryuji. So much so that she sticks with him through attacks by other dragons, convoluted conflicts involving frosty swords and medieval legends, and even his unwitting flirtation with a cat-burgling wolf-girl. Which is just as well for Ryuji. A flame-spewing girlfriend can be mighty useful in such situations.
