Rune Balot is a prostitute who is nearly murdered by Ciel, an enigmatic casino manager who suffers from a disease that that forces him to remove and store his memories. A victim for most of her life, Rune faces a choice - while on the brink of death, she is given the opportunity to live again. It is not a simple choice for a victim, but Rune takes it and she is brought back to life as a cyborg with the ability to control electronics. Atmospheric and thought-provoking, this series is evocative of Shirow's iconic Ghost in the Shell series (Kodansha).
