Ever since a terrible childhood tragedy, Minoru Utsugi has wished for one thing: solitude. Years later, a bizarre encounter leaves a mysterious artifact in Minoru's body that grants his wish--but that's far from the end of his troubles. Others have been visited and given powers like Minoru's, but their twisted desires are not so benign. When a murderous force threatens the people Minoru holds dear, will his newfound abilities be enough to stand in its way? And can there be a future for someone who craves eternal solitude above all else? The story of the Isolator begins here!

Though the infiltration team narrowly escaped Liquidizer's cunning trap, no one knows if Suu Komura will recover from her appalling injuries. Minoru begins to question whether all this suffering is worth it. Unfortunately, there's no time for him to be indecisive when someone known only as the Stinger launches brutal attacks at Jet Eye and Ruby Eye alike!

Seventeen-year-old Utsugi Minoru's only wish is to be able to live apart from the world and events around him. But will he remain the same after experiencing his new powers--and new dangers?
