Premise An unknown type of alien called the "Kiseichuu" (キセイ蟲, Kiseichū) invades Earth. They plunder "H-Energy" in an attempt to make mankind extinct. To save the Earth from the alien threat, high school boy Retto Enjo joins the "HxEros" team, partnering with four beautiful high school girls, one of whom is his childhood friend Kirara Hoshino. However, it turns out that Kirara's personality has drastically changed, which leads to an estrangement between the two childhood friends.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Super HxEros

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Super HxEros claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Super HxEros before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Super HxEros ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Super HxEros

In research: Super HxEros appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Super HxEros in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Super HxEros is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2017 manga, 2020 anime television series debuts, Action anime and manga, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Super HxEros outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
