Episodes
Episode 1: The Phantom Woman
Tokyo 2027 AD - After suffering a colossal earthquake, the devastated capital is now a huge slum district vandalized by the evil Boomers, an artificial life form born as a result of biotechnology gone wrong. In order to put a stop to their atrocious crimes, the police has organized a special task force unit armed with state-of-the-art technology. They are Advanced Police, or as people usually refer to, AD Police. The story is a recording of their cases, filled with madness, blood and gun smoke. In the first episode, "The Phantom Woman", our protagonist Leon encounters a female Boomer illegally reactivated after being shot to death, by him. And the only wish she has is to be shot to death again by Leon...
Episode 2: The Ripper
With the development of a new electromagnetic induced train system, the old subway has lost it's credibility, becoming a seedy haven for prostitution and drug-dealings called "Paradise Loop". Recently, a string of murders have broke out in this area. The victims, all prostitutes, are found with their abdomens slashed open by some sharp instrument in the same manner. Why does the murderer only chose prostitutes? Can this hideous crime be committed by a human being? Or is a Boomer responsible for the killings? Soon, the investigation leads to a woman who seemingly has no connection to the crime whatsoever...
Episode 3: The Man Who Bites His Tongue
AD Police officer Billy Fonward, 28, male, was critically wounded in a battle with a defective Boomer on the run. However, he was subjected to an experimental cybernetics operation which miraculously brought him back to life. With the exception of his brain and some of his internal organs, his body parts were completely replaced with mechanical substitutes, which transmit senses in the form of electrical information, thus leaving him with only his tongue to "feel" like a human being. The use of optional weapons and protectors enables him to work with highly dangerous cases without being affected by pain, consequently keeping him calm and decisive under any situation. After returning to work, Billy is promoted two ranks to become an AD Police Special Weapons Team Commander. He is, in effect, the first experimental subject to become an anti-Boomer Cyborg Police Officer. But Billy couldn't be a hero...

Devil Lady
The beautiful and successful supermodel Jun Fudou meets a woman named Lan Asuka, who confronts her with a werewolf monster, which she calls a devil beast. As a result, unimagined powers awaken in Jun, and she manages to defeat the monster. She, just like this werewolf, is part of the next step in human evolution: humans who can mutate into beast-like monsters and then mercilessly terrorise civilisation. Unlike the other devil beasts, however, she can retain her humanity, which is her undoing because Lan Asuka is a high-ranking employee of the government and of the “Anti-Beast Special Squad”, which wants to abuse her powers and train her to mercilessly hunt down her own species.
Caught between these extremes and her weak self, the question arises: what fate will Jun meet? Will she ever be able to decide it for herself?
