In 1999, four meteorites, the "demon stones," fell on Tokyo, destroying the capital city. Thirty-one years later, in 2030, invaders from another dimension, calling themselves demons, suddenly attacked Megalo City, a new city built on Tokyo Bay. Their goal is to complete the magic square with the fifth demon stone, revive the Demon King, and conquer the world. Just when everyone thought that the human race had no choice but to perish, a group of young people wearing battle suits called "Baltectors" (word merge of BAttLe + proTECTOR) rose up and challenged GIL, an army of demons and crime syndicate, to a battle. They were the cyborg warriors known as Borgman.
It has been three years since the end of the series. Ryo works for NASA as an engineer on a large rocket project. Anise, fellow Borgman and lover, has been reduced to flipping burgers in a restaurant. So naturally, when she gets a letter offering her a professional job in a big, Japanese, high-tech project, she jumps at the chance. Ryo, however, is as indecisive as ever and so she leaves for Japan without him. Chuck Sweager, the third Borgman, is a police officer, as is his girlfriend Miki...
Picking up several years after the dissolution of the original Borgman team, this volume reunites the three remaining members--rocket scientist Ryo, his girlfriend Anise, and police officer Chuck Sweager--for the emotionally-driven episode "Lover`s Rain," which finds the trio facing an army of the undead bent on a rampage of murder and destruction.
In 2058, the menace of the Youma (demons) returns under the evil leadership of the Master. A new generation of Borgman, under the leadership of Chuck Sweager, is mankind's only hope of stopping the plague of evil before it consumes all of Megalocity. But Ken, an unwilling recruit to the Borgman, may have more in common with the enemy than with humankind...
