Ten years after the Bubble War, the dichotomy between the rich and the poor in the world becomes more prominent and Japan is no exception. The rich seek to satisfy their desires and derive pleasure for themselves, and Tokyo has materialised into such a city as a result. Saiga Tatsumi, once a war photographer, works for Ginza Hibari in the capitalist state of Tokyo. He infiltrates the Roppongi Club, a secretive base located in the red district area of the city, to collect information. However, he was caught in the process and brought forward to a girl called Kagura who was in the midst of a ritual. His contact with Kagura awakens his special ability: the power to make things explode when photographed. In order to unravel the mystery behind the Roppongi Club and Kagura, Saiga begins his solitary struggle.
