Synopsis
Retired elite Strider Hiryu is forced back into action to rescue his friend and stop a mind-control conspiracy.
The manga is set in the year 2048 and centers around Hiryu, a young Super A-grade Strider who has retired from his dangerous profession. Haunted by a traumatic past involving his elder sister, Hiryu now lives a quiet life in Mongolia, seeking peace away from the shadows of his former life. However, his former superior, Vice Director Matic, forces him back into action when a critical mission arises involving his best friend Cain, who has been captured in the Kazakh SSR. As Hiryu reluctantly returns to his role as a Strider, he teams up with fellow Strider Sheena to navigate the complex web of espionage and danger that surrounds the Strider organization. Their investigation leads them to uncover a sinister mind-control weapon project known as Zain, which threatens not only their fellow Striders but potentially the entire world. The story follows Hiryu's journey as he confronts his past while facing new threats, delving into a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of power. Along the way, he must forge new alliances and rediscover what it means to be a Strider in a world where technology and humanity collide in unexpected ways.
