Description
Clock Striker, the hit diverse manga, is finally collected in a handsome graphic novel! Shonen manga's first Black female lead hero, Cast, dreams of being a SMITH, and though she's rather handy with her tools, no one in her small town ever realises their dreams. These legendary warrior engineers haven't been seen in years and were never known for having female members. Fortunately, Cast meets one surviving member who promises to make her one—if she's willing to assist mankind in solving problems that are deadlier than expected.
Cybernetic desperadoes. Corporate thieves. Giant robots. Can Cast survive long enough to succeed in her goal to become a SMITH?
