In a near‑future, post‑catastrophe Tokyo, the "Special Public Security Fifth Division Third Mobile Assault Eighth Unit," known as "Unit Eight," is a police squad that tackles offenders who employ hazardous wearable gear termed "Willwear." Armed with their own Willwear, the team is frequently denounced by citizens for reckless conduct and protocol violations.
Brought in as a covert operative to infiltrate the criminal network under directives from senior officials to protect civilian safety, Asami Kazari joins Unit Eight as its newest recruit. Intent on reforming what she assumes is a bungling crew, she discovers instead a group of earnest specialists who apply highly effective—though unconventional—tactics, constrained by rigid rules. With her on board, Unit Eight confronts crime and defeats unforeseen foes in the shadowed streets of Neo‑Tokyo in the neon-lit alleys today.
