MEGAZONE 23 is set in a city not all that unlike the present day. Shogo, a young hothead biker, gets himself involved with Yui, a girl he nearly runs over in a high-speed accident. She and her friends (as well as the rest of the city) are enamored with a new idol singer, Eve, whose music is found almost everywhere. Meanwhile, a friend of Shogo's wants him to see this great new bike he's gotten secretly--the Garland. It turns out that this bike is something special, special enough that the friend is killed for knowing too much about it. Shogo runs off with the bike, and through using it finds out the secret that will change his life and the life of his friends forever. Turns out they don't actually live on Earth, but in a city manipulated by the military through virtual reality. Eve is a part of that virtual lie, but her program might hold the keys to more secrets held within Megazone 23. As he becomes Operator 7G, Eve's link with the real world, Shogo becomes more dangerous to the government, and the deadly agent B.D. is sent to stop him at all costs...even if it means the lives of his friends.
