The story takes place in an unspecified future date, referred to as the 71st year of the True Era. 70% of all human beings have migrated from Earth to other planets of the Solar System and a Dyson sphere, constructed around the Sun. The world is divided between two superpowers called the Dorssia Military Pact Federation and the Atlantic Ring United States(ARUS), and a small neutral nation called JIOR that has prospered economically. In the same year, the Dyson sphere, built by JIOR, is invaded by Dorssian military forces.
Haruto Tokishima, a student from Sakimori High School living on the sphere's "Module 77", discovers a mysterious and powerful mecha called Valvrave and uses it to defend the module from a Dorssian invasion that takes over the rest of JIOR. Once they learn that both Dorssia and the ARUS intend to claim the Valvrave for themselves, with no concern with their lives, the students of Sakimori High declare Module 77 an independent state and abandon JIOR territory. Soon after, several other Valvraves are found inside the school and some of them are claimed by other students who join Haruto's fight to protect it. Once Haruto is approached by L-elf Karlstein, a Dorssian spy who claims to have the intentions to one day stage a revolution in his own country, both join forces in an unlikely alliance to secure the sovereignty of their newfounded nation.
Five men posing as transfer students infiltrate Sakimori High School. Meanwhile Haruto Tokishima loses an eating contest to his love interest Shoko Sashinami at the school grounds. Later, As the supposed Sakimori transfer students enter a school building, L-elf has an altercation with Haruto following their opposing ideals. Meanwhile, outside of Module 77, the Dorssian Military sends a squadron of mechs, to attack Module 77, with the ensuing battle with its defenses subsequently interrupting Haruto and Shoko's intimate conversation at Sakimori High's Shrine. At the same time, the Dorssia undercover agents break into a covert underground facility at Sakimori High for a special mech called "Valvrave One". After killing all the scientists in the facility, one manages to eject the Valvrave mech to the surface of the school, before he is killed. As the surface turns into a battle ground, Haruto, Shoko, Kyuma Inuzuka, Aina Sakurai, and Saki Rukino try to flee, before noticing the Valvrave One. Just then, Shoko is seemingly killed when she goes to help a civilian. Overcome with rage, Haruto boards the Valvrave but is unable to initially operate it. As the Dorssia mechs target the Valvrave, a hacker, Akira Renbokoji live streams the scene to the WIRED network. Remembering L-elf's words, Haruto accepts the Valvrave start-up question and is injected with a chemical substance, bringing the Valvrave into combat mode which he uses to destroy the attacking Dorssia mechs. In the aftermath, Haruto exits the Valvrave, much to the excitement of the the onlookers before becoming overcome with grief for Shoko. Haruto is then confronted by L-elf who kills him, before moving to board the Valvrave. Suddenly, Haruto appears behind L-elf in a seemingly inhuman state and bites his neck, switching their consciousnesses.
