Awakening Heartbeat

When young Hibiki is attacked by the Noise, she suddenly transforms into an armored warrior to fight them off. But when the government comes to clean up, instead of actually thanking her, they... arrest her...?!

Noise and Disharmony

It's been one month since Hibiki's first battle. As she slowly adjusts to life as a Symphogear user, her grades start to plunge. After much effort, she finally turns in her make-up report and is free to look forward to the meteor shower that night. But then she gets another call...

Passing in the Night

A new relic wielder has appeared, and she's not friendly. Even worse, she's using the Nehushtan Armor, which was stolen in the attack on the concert two years ago. Tsubasa loses control of herself and prepares to sing her Superb Song...

Falling Tears

The Japanese Government has decided that the enemy is getting too close to Durandal, the powerful intact relic kept at the bottom of the Abyss. They want to move it to a secure location, which means transporting by car. But the Noise are sure to notice, which means a high-speed car chase through a dangerous chemical plant.

From the Bottom of Darker Depths

As Hibiki is spending more and more time fighting the Noise, it means less time for her studies and less time for her friends. Miku is feeling alone and isolated, but she makes a promise with Hibiki to go get some snacks after school. But when school ends, Hibiki gets another call...

When You Stop Being You

The Moon is going to crash into the Earth, and there is no way to stop it. Finé's plan has been to raise the floating continent of Frontier in order to survive, but they lack the needed technology.

The Origin of a Hero

Dr. Ver arms Miku with a Symphogear, both in order to raise Frontier and defeat the wielders. His use of LiNKER means that any serious shocks could kill her. Hibiki tries to stop her, but she only has two minutes and forty seconds before the overload from her Gear kills her as well.
