A-DO

Set in a dystopian future Japan, A-DO is a science fiction action manga that pays respectful homage to the genre's classics. The nation has transformed into a volatile cultural melting pot, constantly destabilized by violent protests from xenophobic extremist factions. Amid this chaotic backdrop, Riko—a brash and impulsive young woman who frequently changes jobs—unexpectedly finds herself thrust into danger when she saves the life of a mysterious boy named Eito. What begins as a simple act of heroism quickly spirals into something far more complex. Just as Riko and Eito sit down to celebrate his survival over a bowl of ramen, an assassination attempt shatters their brief moment of peace. In a shocking display of otherworldly ability, plant-like tendrils suddenly erupt from Eito’s arm, intercepting a bullet in mid-flight. This impossible feat reveals that the boy harbors extraordinary secrets, immediately drawing the attention of heavily armed military forces determined to capture him. Now caught in the crossfire, Riko must unravel the mystery of who Eito truly is and why the army is hunting him relentlessly across a fractured society.
