Synopsis:

A decade after a global conflict reshaped societal divides, the stark contrast between wealth and poverty intensifies in a world exemplified by the opulent excess of Tokyo. The city’s underbelly houses secretive organizations like the Roppongi Club, rumored to operate from within the red-light district. Saiga, a former war photographer now working for a powerful corporation, is tasked with gathering intelligence on this elusive group. His mission takes an unexpected turn when an encounter with Kagura, a figure embroiled in strange rituals, triggers a latent ability – the power to induce explosions through photography. Forced into a solitary struggle, Saiga navigates the complex web of power and mystery surrounding the Roppongi Club and Kagura, seeking answers while grappling with the implications of his newfound power within a morally ambiguous landscape.
