Saiga, a photojournalist with a history of photographing live-action-deaths on distant battlefields, is now chasing after leads in the multiple assassinations of major political leaders. One day, he is asked to cover a secret society called the “Roppongi Club”, and succeeds in sneaking in undetected. Having reached a deep inner chamber of the club, he comes across an initiation ritual, where a goddess descends from above to give the innate a kiss of acceptance. The goddess, a girl named Kagura, gives him the kiss instead, bestowing on him a special ability, and asks that he help her flee from her circumstances. But the Roppongi Club does not intend to permit their goddess to escape, and their members have abilities of their own. |
