What Is the Story of Giant Young Lady?

The narrative revolves around Oriko Fujidō, the scion of the immensely wealthy Fujidō Zaibatsu. For her fourth birthday, Oriko received an entire municipal city as a childhood gift. Years later, when a colossal monster threatens her domain, her faithful butler Dr. Sebastian provides an experimental power drink.
