Plot
This story portrays Susono Musubi, a young police officer in a
post-apocalyptic subterranean city that's thriving with activity, who is investigating recent child abductions. She finds a heavily toned down, sword-like
Gravitational Beam Emitter as well as other elements that take different forms in the later publication (for example,
Silicon life).
In North America, the manga was licensed for English release by
