Story
Story The year is 2014, and the setting is Tokyo City after "the Great East Japan Earthquake".
Goku Furinji, a former police detective turned private investigator, is investigating a series of suicides among his former colleagues when his superiors urge him to stop. He ignores their advice and continues his investigation, but is captured and, like his fellow detectives, is nearly killed in a manner that makes it appear as a suicide. The suicides are the result of forced hypnosis by an enemy assassin. Goku makes a quick decision and stabs himself in the left eye to escape the trap.
A mysterious entity, observing the events, presents Goku with a prosthetic eye equipped with a sensor capable of detecting not only visible light but also infrared, ultraviolet, and X-rays, and a miniature terminal for a super-high-performance computer that can penetrate firewalls and access networks worldwide.
