The story follows Yui Kasuga, a girl who dislikes computers, who suddenly finds herself pulled into missions on the virtual network known as Comnet. Guided by a mysterious program called IR, she transforms into the heroine Collector Yui and sets out to recover eight scattered "Soft" fragments while facing down the villainous Dr. Groser and the strange virus outbreaks known as Buggles, threats that endanger both the net and the real world.
