What does it mean to be young a the end of the world?
The year is 1985 – at least, Shogo Yahagi thought it was. A few days ago, the young biker was out living it up on the streets of Tokyo – listening to the latest Eve tape, running around with his friends, and trying to flirt with the girl he almost ran over! But everything changed when a deadly encounter with a mysterious motorcycle sent him speeding into danger. With a shadowy cabal now hot on his heels, Shogo quickly realizes that he’s stepped into the deep end of a conspiracy that’s about to tear his reality asunder.
