An OVA depicting the early events of the Glass no Kamen series. Kitajima Maya is a young girl from a poor background with no talents of use to school or her widowed mother. However, she is obsessed with movies, theatrical plays and TV dramas-to the point of remembering every line from a movie she's seen once, and dramatically acting out the stories, including every character, for anyone who will listen. One day, she encounters an old woman with a scarred face who claims that Maya is the girl she's been looking for-for the old woman has spent years protecting the rights to a 'legendary' play.

The story centers around an evil counterpart of Arale created by Dr. Mashirito named Abale.

Researchers involved in the research organization code-named "Mattamore" are frightened to death by the never-ending nightmare they are living in. Bai Xi, a university graduate who is ordinary yet unusual, and Han Zhuo, a mysterious and powerful esper who is near-omnipotent, set out with a group of steadfast friends on a spectacular path to salvation - those dark corners where the sun never reaches, always need a person to shed a tear to light the way.

Short specials involving the characters from the main series.
