No Guns Life

Alternate Title

ノー・ガンズ・ライフ

Synopsis

During the war, a new technology to extend the functions of the human body was developed by Beruhren Corp. Using this technology, a portion or all of the body can be mechanized, and those who have undergone the process are called Extends.

With society now a mixture of Extends and regular humans, conflict is unavoidable and constant. Those whose job it is to find solutions to this conflict are called Resolvers. Juzo Inui is one such Resolver.

Juzo is an Extends who has a gigantic revolver in place of his head. One day, a man shows up at his office with a kidnapped boy in tow and asks for Juzo’s help to protect him. That boy’s name is Tetsuro Arahabaki, the son of Beruhren CEO Soichiro Arahabaki who escaped the facility after undergoing experiments against his will. Now it’s up to Juzo to keep him safe. But that won’t be easy with everyone from Beruhren to the mob after him!
