Mato Kuroi enters into junior high school, and on the first day, someone catches her eye; her classmate Yomi Takanashi. While Mato is loud and outgoing, Yomi is quiet and keeps to herself, yet the time they spend together only strengthens a growing friendship. The reason for Yomi's anti- socialness is revealed as her best friend, Kagari Izuriha punishes her and harrasses Mato for coming to Yomi's house. Mato tries desperately to not let Kagari get to her.

However, Mato begins to feel upset and goes to her school guidance counselor, Saya Irino, for help. Saya tells Mato that no matter how hurt she feels, there is someone in another world that takes most of the pain for her, referring to her Other Self. As Mato is more and more emotionally hurt, her Other Self, Black★Rock Shooter fights to the death with the Other Selves of the people who are causing Mato's pain.
