Plot summary
Haruo Onose finds an unknown cargo in the back of his delivery truck and calls his friend Kouji Sugimoto, an engineering student who works at a car maintenance shop, to look at it. They take the cargo to Kouji's apartment, and Haruo passes on a message from Kouji's girlfriend, Shiori Nagura, who will be waiting for him at a building in Nishi-Shinjuku that night. Kouji opens the cargo, finds the MADOX-01, a heavy suit of armor meant to fight tanks, and gets inside. A software bug traps him there, and the suit alerts the military, which begins a recovery operation. Eriko Kusumoto, a test pilot and lead developer of the MADOX project, joins the recovery effort, and Lt. Kilgore, a tank driver with a grudge against the suit, sets out on his own.
