Amu Hinamori is a shy girl who struggles to make friends in part due to the rumors spread around school about her cool and spicy personality. Wishing that she could show everyone her would-be self, Amu wakes up to the presence of three colorful and ornately decorated eggs in her bed. Each of these Hearts Eggs houses a Guardian Character—manifestations of someones would-be self and their dreams. With the aid of Ran, Miki, and Su, Amu now finds herself able to express who she truly is. However, things do not always pan out in her favor.

The sudden appearance of Amus Guardian Characters prompts the Seiyo Elementary Guardians, a student council-like group with each member possessing their own Guardian Character, to take notice of her. As someone who has multiple Characters, Amu is roped into being the Guardians Joker, tasked with helping them find X Eggs—corrupted versions of ones Hearts Egg.

As she becomes entangled in the Guardians quest, Amu begins to uncover more about these mysterious Characters, the X Eggs, and the organization that seems to be at the center of it all.
