Appleseed Comic Summary:
In the year 2131, after the Third World War, human civilization was almost completely wiped out. Cities were turned into ruins, government functions collapsed, and the world fell into a state of anarchy as survivors struggled to live amidst the wreckage. For the future of humanity, some scientists and elites established Olympia, a technologically advanced utopian city, which took over the functions of various governments and ended the meaningless wars. The female protagonist, Leona Ozaki, was originally a mercenary who had been fighting alone in the ruins for months after losing contact with her superiors. One day, a group of unidentified mechanized soldiers attacked her. In a critical moment, she was saved by E.S.W.A.T., a mechanized police force from Olympia, and was brought back to the city.
There, she was surprised to meet Briareos, her former lover whom she thought had died in battle. Briareos also lost his physical body during the war but was saved by the Senate of Olympia and given a mechanical body.
