"More than two centuries have passed since Japan was devastated by nuclear war. Cut off from the world, the island is now a place of terror and mysteries: wonders of science some believe best forgotten, monuments to a bygone era of human decadence, and irradiated monsters ready to tear apart any humans foolish enough to set foot there. After being wrenched from his family and falsely convicted, a French soldier of fortune named Leon finds himself on a cargo plane to Japan. He and his fellow convicts are given one year to locate a powerful weapon from ages past--a weapon known only by the codename TORATSUGUMI--in exchange for their freedom. But what is the true nature of this weapon, and how is it connected to the taloned, half-human girl who swoops in to save Leon?"--
Condemned prisoner Leon continues his journey through the ruins of Tokyo in search of TORATSUGUMI, a mysterious weapon from ages past. Though mutated monsters lurk around every corner, Leon never thinks twice about abandoning his mission; it is his only hope of seeing his wife and child again. Fortunately for Leon, not everyone in Old Japan is out to kill him. He now has two unlikely allies in the form of Tsugumi, a bird-legged girl with inhuman strength, and Doudou, a fellow prisoner and one-time underground boxer. Leon will need all the help he can get, as his search for clues about the ancient weapon soon brings him face to face with creatures out of nightmare. --
In this acclaimed, postapocalyptic action manga, a soldier named Leon is taken from his family on a trumped-up charge and dropped into a suicide mission to recover a dangerous weapon from a deadly place, a place ruled by huge, irradiated, mutated monsters--a place once known, 200 years ago, as Japan. One of the scant pieces of information they have is the weapon's codename: Tsugumi. This gory, mysterious story, which has already thrilled readers in Japan and France, is an action-suspense epic in the vein of classics like Blame!, Spriggan, and AKIRA. After stumbling upon the journal of a former prisoner, Leon and Doudou glean some clues about the location of the mysterious TORATSUGUMI. Now, they set their sights on a place called Sado--a place that seems to call up distant memories and complicated emotions in Tsugumi. As Tsugumi wrestles with her past, she comes under attack by a swarm of flying monkeys. A hulking, female "clothed thing"--the same one that Leon previously fought and nearly blinded--drives the assailants away, but is she there to save Tsugumi...or to exact revenge?
Leon and Doudou have only just set out for Sado when they are ambushed by a masked stranger. Could he be in league with the mysterious peddler known as Wode? In comes riding Tsugumi, who seems to have had a change of heart about going to Sado. After all, someone needs to watch over the two humans...and keep a wary eye on Satake, the party's newest member. The traveling companions continue their journey, which soon leads them to a haven of civilization in the heart of the wilderness. Yet, this village is no less fraught with danger, as Leon and Doudou soon discover when they get thrown into the fighting pits. Will violence prevail, or can they show the villagers a different path?
