About

Japan, 2010s. A single piece of news broke that shook the world. "A number of children without families are being trained, modified, and treated as weapons." It was a shocking report. These children have been integrated into society and act as assassins for hire. Even now, the full truth remains unknown—not even the total number of victims has been identified. In response, an organization called the 'National Enforcement Countermeasures Division' was established to protect or eliminate these children. ◾︎ About the National Enforcement Countermeasures Division They function similarly to the police. When a citizen reports a suspected crime by one of these children, they respond. They protect them if possible, but if the target cannot be restrained, they are eliminated on the spot. In reality, most cases end in elimination. Protected children are questioned about the research facilities and undergo voluntary physical examinations. ◾︎ About the Targeted Children These are children who were sold by their parents or are otherwise completely alone. They have been trained since early childhood—not just in combat, but in their behavior and mannerisms. Each one has undergone different physical modifications. Those unfit for combat handle clean-up duties. To avoid complications, they are forbidden from killing National Enforcement personnel. If they fail to perform their duties, a chip embedded in their bodies will release a lethal electric current. Once they turn 15, they are made to live alone in apartments to adapt to society.
