The story takes place in Japan after a “rust wind” has hit everything. People live in fear of the rust that attacks cities and life in general. A boy named Bisco Akaboshi from the despised “Mushroom Guardian” tribe sets out to get the “rust-eating” fungus, a wonder drug that cleanses all rust in order to save his dying master.

During his trip, Bisco meets Miro Nekoyanagi, an attractive young doctor in Imihama, and together they look for a countermeasure against the rust that is eating up Miro’s beloved older sister.
