Showa American Story

The Rise of
Showa America

Showa 66, Japan has bought out most of the United States with its strong economic power and a surge of immigration has firmly planted Japanese culture within the American continent. The United States, once a world leader, is now an unofficial colony of Japan, and the two cultures rapidly meld together. Although conflicts are inevitable, citizens gradually adapt to a life they never could have imagined.

A Star is (Re)born

Chouko, a 19-year-old stuntwoman, and her sister have come to Neo Yokohama (formerly known as Hollywood) to audition for a part in a new action movie. However, Chouko’s dreams are quickly shattered when a group of mysterious agents assassinates her upon arrival and dumps her body in the wilderness outside the city. An unknown amount of time passes, and suddenly air fills Chouko's lungs once more as she rises from the soil…

An Apocalyptic Nightmare
Come to Life

By some miracle, Chouko is still alive, but... something about this world is very wrong. In her absence, the world has become almost unrecognizable. Zombies roam the streets. The few remaining humans compete with monsters for scarce resources. War rages throughout the criminal underworld as different factions vie for power. All the while, a mysterious organization fights back from the shadows to rebuild social order.

A Cross-Country Quest
for Revenge

Who killed me?”
“How did I come back to life?”
“Where is my sister?”
“What happened to the world?” ...

With many questions swirling in her mind and no easy answers, Chouko doesn’t hesitate to take action. She recovers a vehicle from the ruins of the movie studio and embarks on a journey across Route 50 of the United States to find her sister, all while seeking truth and revenge.
