The story of “Clockwork Girl” unfolds in the year 2099, where humanity has advanced to the point of overcoming all injuries and illnesses through the development of the Medical Android Technology known as Somadea. However, this technological marvel has also given rise to a surge in crimes involving the misuse of Somadea. To combat these illegal activities, the government has established the Bounty Hunter System, allowing civilians to hunt down and eliminate wanted criminals in exchange for substantial bounty money.
In this harsh world, Ubu Kamigori, a skilled bounty hunter, navigates the dangers of her profession. Her life takes a dramatic turn when she returns home from a job to find Mr. Elegance, a man from her past, waiting for her. This encounter sets the stage for a thrilling tale of mechanical girls and the scent of gunpowder, as suspense and action intertwine.
