The story revolves around war photographer Saiga Tatsumi who now works for Hibara Ginza in the capitalist state of Tokyo. His latest job involves infiltrating a secret club called the Roppongi in the Red Light district in order to gather more information about it. However, Saiga is caught in the middle of his mission and meets a girl named Kagura during a ritual.
After making contact with her, Saiga awakwens with the power to make any object he photographs explode. Even worse, the Roppongi becomes much more of a threat than even Saiga realized. Can Saiga solve the mystery of the Roppongi Club and the connection with Kagura?
