A-DO Vol. 03

A-DO Vol. 03

A brash young woman and a boy with a mysterious arm search for answers while evading military assassins in this dystopian sci-fi action manga, perfect for fans of Akira and Sakamoto Days.

DOUBLE TROUBLE

After successfully dispatching the hulking assassin known as Demian, Eito finds himself facing down two of his comrades, Rin and Ain. He soon discovers that this new pair of foes won’t be half as easy as Demian. Between fending off Ain’s venomous vines and Rin’s drill-like appendages, Eito is hard-pressed to land a single blow. What follows is a desperate defensive battle that will push Eito’s abilities to the limit.

Riko takes Eito out for a bowl of ramen, but just as they’re about to dig in, Eito is fired upon by a distant army sniper. As the bullet pierces the restaurant window and comes whizzing toward Eito, plant-like tendrils snake out from his arm and stop it in mid-flight. Who in the world is this boy, and why is the army after him?!
