Kaiba

In a dystopian future where memories can be transferred and bodies are interchangeable, a man wakes up with amnesia and a gaping hole in his chest. He discovers a locket containing a picture of a woman he doesn't remember, sparking a quest to uncover his past. His journey takes him through a society divided between the affluent elite who live in the sky and the impoverished masses on the ravaged planet below.
