El-Hazard: The Wanderers - S01

High school science whiz Makoto Mizuhara is working on his latest project for the school festival with his best friend Nanami Jinnai. Nanami's brother and Makoto's lifelong rival, the unscrupulous student council president Katsuhiko Jinnai, is under fire for mishandling the festival planning and is convinced Makoto is scheming to take his spot. One night, while Makoto and Nanami are taking a break with their teacher Masamichi Fujisawa, Jinnai sneaks into the science lab and sabotages Makoto's device, which suddenly opens a portal that hurls all four of them into another world! As soon as they arrive, Makoto is attacked by a swarm of giant bug monsters. While fleeing, he runs into Fujisawa and a girl named Rune Venus. After Fujisawa drives off the monsters, a group of dignitaries shows up looking for Rune, their princess. They tell Makoto and Fujisawa they are in a world called El-Hazard and bring them back to the palace of Roshtaria, their kingdom. Though her advisors are wary of the newcomers, Rune orders that they be treated as guests and quickly becomes friends with Makoto. Unaware that Nanami and Jinnai are in this world too, Makoto sets to work trying to find a way back to Earth.
