Storyline
Several years before the story begins, the city formerly known as Kajou City became connected to the mysterious Abyss, transforming it overnight into a supernatural and demonic metropolis. When immortal beings known as Witches began appearing, the government quarantined the entire area and abandoned it.
The abandoned city eventually became known as Pandemonium. With no effective law or government, criminals, illegal immigrants, black-market dealers, prostitutes, and yakuza moved into the area. Over the years, the population grew to around 150,000 people, creating a dangerous city beyond the reach of the law.
Shougo Tsunuga is a powerful close-combat fighter who has his own reasons for remaining in Pandemonium. His life changes when he encounters Carol, one of the mysterious Witches. Their meeting draws Shougo into a much larger conflict involving the Witches and the organization that effectively controls the city.
Determined to destroy the organization controlling Pandemonium, Shougo begins fighting alongside the Witches while uncovering the secrets behind the city and its supernatural inhabitants. As the story progresses, he is forced to confront violence, betrayal, and the brutal reality of a world where ordinary rules no longer apply.
Maggot Baits combines a dark supernatural setting with action, mystery, horror, and adult themes, following Shougo's struggle to survive and uncover the truth behind Pandemonium and the Witches.
