Clockwork Planet

Naoto is a brilliant amateur mechanic who spends his days tinkering with gears and inventions. And the world is a playground - a massive, intricate machine. But his quiet life is disrupted when a box containing an automaton in the shape of a girl crashes into his home. Could this be an omen of a breakdown in Naoto’s delicate clockwork planet? And is this his chance to become a hero?

Naoto and RyuZU have a tense encounter with Marie Bell Breguet and her bodyguard, Vainney Halter, but they form a shaky alliance with the shared goal of fixing the Core Tower in Kyoto. With the city’s most important structure in disrepair, Kyoto’s entire population is at risk, but Naoto believes he can save it before the city undergoes a Purge. This unstoppable team of renegades may be able to save millions of lives, but acting against government orders may spark a dangerous conflict. Is Naoto’s group ready to face the consequences of disrupting the order of the world itself?

After Naoto, RyuZU, Marie, and Halter’s mission to save Kyoto succeeded, the group must lie low. Branded as terrorists and with Marie presumed dead, the new allies decide to gather more information while acting out the daily lives of high school students—something Marie isn’t used to! While undercover, Marie receives valuable information through a coded message: The government is still abusing core parts to endanger civilians. Meanwhile, RyuZU wishes to find her little “sister,” AnchoR, but when the fellow automaton appears, is she a friend or foe?

With the sudden appearance of AnchoR, the “sisters” of the Initial-Y series are reunited, but it may not be a happy meeting! Whatever her intentions, this tense encounter means that underground conspiracies may finally come to light. From learning of hidden weapons and a nefarious plan of destruction, the group may be in for more than they bargained for. This time Naoto and his allies may have to go all the way to the top to find justice.

Even though AnchoR is RyuZU’s little sister, her immense power poses a threat to Naoto and the crew. When the two siblings confront each other, an explosive battle ensues that bends time and space! Even RyuZU’s Imaginary Time and her unique power, Mute Scream, may not be able to best an automaton built to destroy. Meanwhile, in Akihabara, a massive weapon appears, leaving the city’s armed forces at a loss. If Grid Akihabara falls, all of Japan may be in danger. Can Naoto handle a weapon strong enough to break the entire Clockwork Planet?

Everything seems to come to a standstill when an electromagnetic pulse magnetizes the clockwork the planet depends on. Not only the planet, but the automata, too, are knocked out of sync. The powerfully-built AnchoR is able to return to her senses, but RyuZU remains out of commission while Naoto and the crew plan their next step. Meanwhile, Marie’s influence extends far and wide: from the government where a fellow meister gathers information, to the Imperial House, where a princess awaits Marie’s aid. Amid the despair, this makeshift family finds time to have a day out on the town—and with adorable disguises, of course! But can Naoto really keep AnchoR smiling, when he himself is also in danger…?!

Amid all the conspiracies and plots, the government is forced to come to a stalemate. When threats from mysterious parties and all-powerful weapons seem impossible to overcome, the leader of the military coup starts calling the shots. What’s more, the leader’s intent behind the coup is more dangerous to humanity than any could have imagined. Japan’s national crisis has hit its peak, and Naoto and his friends stand at the core!

The conspiracy plot in Tokyo comes to a conclusion, and Naoto and the crew make their way to crime-ridden Shangri-La on a bold new adventure! Though the world is shrouded in constant mystery, Naoto’s incredible hearing skills, combined with Marie’s genius engineering, will help lead them to the truth beneath the surface.

Naoto and his crew continue their deep descent into the dark world of Shangri-La, where crime, betrayal, and peril run rampant. The two geniuses, Naoto and Marie, attract evil forces in the hellish underbelly of society, and their fates slowly become locked together like rusted cogs. Shangri-La runs on death, and its strongest leader wants Halter to execute a tricky tradeoff, but will the decision Halter makes be the right one…? And when an unfamiliar face from the Initial-Y series appears, RyuZU might be in trouble!

Naoto, Marie, and the crew are tangled up in the politics of the ruthless, violent city of Shangri-La. But when Second Upsilon gets down to business, they realize what’s more important than turf wars and governments: Doing whatever they want! The two young geniuses and their mechanical comrades stir up wild mayhem and just might save the whole world while they’re at it, too! FINAL VOLUME!
