The setting of "Rolling Girls" is Japan 10 years after the end of the "Great Battle of Tokyo".

In each region, people with special abilities called "Mosas" led vigilante groups and played a part in governing the region. Meanwhile, local troubles broke out here and there, and four girls appear who travel from country to country in the midst of war. For the sake of the world, to help people, and to search for the "Moonlight Stone", the girls continue their journey on their motorcycles, despite being called "mob" outsiders. This story depicts the adventures and growth of the girls, while allowing you to enjoy the characteristics and culture of each region.

In the past, he was violent in the meat and potato conflict with Hiroshima, but recently he has been causing trouble in the mainland (Kyoto city) as a way to kill time. There is a secret reason why he is given preferential treatment because he is also a stylish man (someone who helps geisha and maiko with their performing arts) who hangs out in the entertainment district. He seems to be plotting to disrupt the annual festival "Kiyomizudera Rock Explosion" and have a grand "killing boredom".

• Kamogawa Rockers

A national vigilante group that protects the peace throughout Kyoto. Its headquarters is a geisha house in the Gion Kobu entertainment district, and its main role is to look after maiko before they change their collars and apprentices.

She has a quiet sense of chivalry burning in her heart.

• Ishizukuri Shima

She is the leader of the Ishisaku Stones, a vigilante group that effectively controls Hiroshima. She is a descendant of the Ishisaku family, a branch of Nayotake, but she rejects the old-fashioned code of honor and ravages the Seto Inland Sea as a female pirate, while also controlling the Okonomimura villages that stretch across Hiroshima.

• Takamasa Otomo

He is the vice-chief of the Ishisaku Stones, assisting Ishisaku Shima. He is said to be a descendant of the Otomo family, a branch of the Nayotake family, but no one knows his true identity. He doesn't show much emotion, he doesn't say much, and sometimes he looks up at the moon for some reason.

She is the only daughter of the female swordsman, Fujiwara Haru. She hates the Okayama Demons, a vigilante group that imposes heavy taxes on the people of Okayama, and secretly joins the Mimasaka Peach peach farming vigilante group to fight them.

The leader of Okayama's national vigilante group, the "Okayama Demons." Mosa was loved by the people, but at a certain point, he began to use his power, which surpassed that of the country's lord, to impose heavy taxes on the people of Okayama, and before long he was known as a "demon."
