The supernatural horror manga follows Shintarō Jagasaki, a disillusioned police officer stuck in a monotonous job and an uneventful personal life. Living with his girlfriend and drifting toward a conventional future of marriage and family, Jagasaki feels trapped by routine. Everything changes abruptly when a grotesque creature appears on a train, triggering a bizarre transformation that grants him the ability to fire shots directly from his right hand.
