Apprentice STRIKER Cast faces her biggest challenge yet—and she won't give up until she's used all of her smarts and all of her might!

In a thrilling new adventure, Clock Striker, Volume 3 explores Cast's obstacles to saving not only her friend Klaus but an entire town that's under the rule of a despotic king.

Cast finds herself face to face with a roomful of Klaus lookalikes and the terribly cruel Loki, a member of a gang of cyborg desperados, the Demon Bandits. While the townspeople of Alter have embraced Cast, their lives are endangered by a disaster that threatens to destroy their entire kingdom. With Cast's mentor, the powerful SMITH Ms. Clock, held captive by the secretive king, Cast must make the most of her intelligence and toughness to beat the odds. Can she do it?

The first shonen manga to feature a black female hero, Saturday AM's steampunk action-adventure series Clock Striker has received glowing accolades from fans and industry professionals alike.
