＜STORY
I have lived a life of shame.
In Tokyo in 1966, the medical revolution has conquered death.
People are under the control of the "S.H.E.L.L." system, which manages the "nanomachines" in their bodies and their "networks", so they are free from diseases and need medical care for their wounds. The "S.H.E.L.L." system, which manages these "networks," promises disease-free longevity, guaranteeing a life span of 120 years, without getting sick or needing medical attention.
However, this ultimate social system produces various distortions in the nation. Economic disparities that will never be filled, decadent ethics due to the inability to die, severe environmental pollution, and the "Human Lost Phenomenon" (......), in which people become deformed by being out of the S.H.E.L.L. network.
Japan is teetering between the two possibilities of civilization's rebirth and collapse.

Outside of the 16th Ring Road, where air pollution is spreading - Ichiroku.
One day, a drug-addicted "Hazura Ohba," who leads a lazy life, joins a group of bikers and a mysterious man named Masao Horiki in an assault on the inside of Beltway 7, where the privileged live, and gets caught up in a fierce struggle, They are caught up in a fierce struggle.
There, Hazura encounters a human-lost deformity, the "Lost Body," and meets a girl with mysterious powers, Hiiragi Mihiragi, who belongs to the Lost Body Organization "Hirame" and is a member of the Lost Body Association. He is saved by a girl named "Hiiragi Miko," who belongs to the "Hirame" organization, and discovers that he, too, has powers different from those of other people...

Fall and death. Life and hope. A man is tossed by fate, his heart is torn out, and he cries out.
Anger. Sorrow. Pity... Swallowed up by despair, with tears of blood, Hazura Ohba turns into a "demon".

You are either a human being or you are not a human being.
