Synopsis

In 2048 Tokyo, AI robots secretly live among humans, and only their prototype, ORIGIN, can stop them.

Tokyo, 2048. Japan is now connected to the entire northern hemisphere by the Eurasian Railroad, and all manner of crime and vice pour into the megalopolis at its eastern terminus. Little do the people know that inhuman beings live among us, however—robots with high-level AI, who will kill to survive. Only one "man" can stop them—their prototype: ORIGIN. (Source: Kodansha USA)
