Your Forma is set in an alternate 2023 where Your Forma, a miraculous technology developed to treat a massive outbreak of viral encephalitis pandemic in 1992 has now become indispensable for people's daily lives. However, the technology has a massive drawback as it records all data pertaining to a user's experience.

The anime follows Echika Hieda, an electronic investigator so good at diving into people's memories to look for clues that her assistants literally end up frying their brains trying to keep up with her. Hence, the top brass finally partners Echika with someone on her level, a cheeky yet brilliant android named Harold Lucraft.
