There’s something strange happening in the streets of Tokyo. People with superhuman strength and a lust for blood are attacking others left and right — and crime fighter Ryo Saeba is on the case. Ryo, a private eye and wannabe ladies man, just lost his friend and co-worker Hideyuki to one of these possessed assailants. Whatever’s causing these assaults — drugs? a virus? — Ryo’s determined to figure it out… no matter how many dangerous men he has to kick square in the face. That is, if he can tolerate his unofficial new parter Kaori, Hideyuki’s pesky sister.
