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.

RISING TIDES

Yet Tsujiura, Doctor Shiga, and the remaining soldiers face more immediate concerns as the half-mad Doctor Inui pulls a secret kill switch that threatens to flood the facility. Can the survivors band together to escape, or will they all find a watery grave?
