Texhnolyze - S01

In the dark underground city of Lux, people live in fear and despair under the rule of various criminal factions. Almost cut off from the surface, the gangs' only contact with the outside world is their mining of "raffia," the very reason the city exists. Found only in Lux, this rare substance is the basis of "texhnolyze" transplants, which let humans replace parts of their bodies with cybernetic prostheses. These have the particularity of not triggering an immune response in their hosts, and the "Class" has the privilege of researching them. This elusive organization, which also oversees raffia production, delegates its executive authority to a group called Organo, led by Keigo Oonishi, a self-righteous man with texhnolyzed legs who is rumored to hear the "voice of the city." The fragile balance of power in Lux is disturbed when a mysterious visitor named Kazuho Yoshii begins committing a series of crimes that turns the gangs against one another. In the middle of the chaos, new players appear: Ichise, an ex-boxer mutilated by Organo and recently texhnolyzed by Eriko "Doc" Kamata, and Ran, a young florist who can see the future. As Lux steadily sinks into madness, both Ichise and Ran find themselves caught up in the greatest crisis the city has ever faced.
