Two doctors, Daimon Kazamatsuri and Giichi Onizuka, are geneticists who push the boundaries of medicine by aiming to cure AIDS and cancer through experiments that strengthen the human body at the Institute of Super Science (ISS). The test subject, Shin Kazamatsuri, Kazamatsuri’s son, volunteers to help by taking part in the trials, driven by a mix of trust and curiosity.
