Synopsis
Ex-DARK agent Jiro protects a mysterious child Akira from dangerous forces alongside enigmatic Rieko.
After the collapse of the shadowy DARK organization, Jiro finds himself adrift, traveling from place to place while carrying the weight of separation from someone important to him. His solitary journey takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Rieko, a mysterious young woman who appears to be safeguarding a child named Akira. As Jiro becomes drawn into their situation, he discovers that this seemingly innocent boy has become the focus of dangerous forces with far-reaching ambitions. The three find themselves caught in a web of intrigue that threatens to reshape their world.
Ever since the fall of the DARK organization, Jiro has been wandering everywhere and wondering if he would ever see Mitsuko again or not. During his journey Jiro meets a beautiful girl named Rieko who is protecting Akira, a little boy from the evil Professor Gill. Ironicly, he's the son of Professor Gill, but he is also the key to Gill’s menacing secret weapon and his plans to conquer the world. (Source: ANN)
