Conditions for Receiving Bounty: Bring the brain of a wanted criminal possessing illegal Somadea to authorities. Whether the target is alive or dead…is irrelevant.
The year is 2099. With the advancement of medical technology known as Somadea, humans have been able to overcome various injuries and illnesses. However, there has been a rise in criminal activities that involve misusing this technology.
Somadea enhances one's physical capabilities beyond what is typical for humans. However, if used improperly due to illegal modifications, it can be exploited for malicious deeds. To deal with these Somadea crimes, the government established the Bounty Hunter System. Individuals who have signed up for bounty hunting but do not have law enforcement training can still take out wanted criminals from the Somadea network. These individuals will receive substantial rewards for their efforts.
Ubu Kamigori is a bounty hunter who earns her living by tracking down criminals. On one of her jobs, she returns home to find Mr. Elegance waiting for her. This marks the beginning of her destiny unfolding.
A tale woven by mechanical girls and the smell of gunpowder smoke, this suspenseful action begins!
