Following a wave of immigration, Japan has became a volatile mix of people and cultures, rocked by the protests of xenophobic extremists unhappy with the new status quo. A brash, job-hopping young woman named Riko is driving her scooter through one such protest when she sees a boy about to get run over by a truck. Riko just manages to shove him out of the way, and, in the hours that follow, she finds herself looking after the boy, named Eito.

Riko takes Eito out for a bowl of ramen, but just as they're about to dig in, Eito is fired upon by a distant army sniper. As the bullet pierces the restaurant window and comes whizzing toward Eito, plant-like tendrils snake out from his arm and stop it in mid-flight. Who in the world is this boy, and why is the army after him?!
A brash young woman and a boy with a mysterious arm search for answers while evading military assassins in this dystopian sci-fi action manga, perfect for fans of Akira and Sakamoto Days.

THE HOLY ONE'S TOUCH

Colonel Tsujiura and his soldiers narrowly escaped the laboratory thanks to Doctor Shiga's sacrifice, and Eito finally snapped out of his trance after learning a chilling truth: Most test subjects die a few years after being implanted with the seed. As Eito and the other survivors swear vengeance on the project's mastermind, Ewan and Riko become ever more deeply entangled with the cult of Shinra. Can the A-DO ever break free of the men behind the curtain?
