More than two centuries after nuclear war devastated Japan and left the archipelago sealed off from the rest of the world, the former nation has become a dangerous wasteland filled with irradiated mutated creatures and abandoned remnants of the old civilization. Leon, a French soldier, is falsely convicted and separated from his family before being sent with other convicts on a mission into the forbidden territory.
Leon and the others are given one year to locate a powerful old-world weapon known only by the codename TORATSUGUMI in exchange for their freedom. As the mission quickly turns into a fight for survival, Leon encounters Tsugumi, a mysterious half-human girl with talons who saves him and becomes central to the truth behind the mysterious weapon.

Why this record matters
The phrase “japanese manga series” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q113954252. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2019, 2021 and 2023.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
