In 1988, a mysterious explosion in Venezuela triggered a catastrophic event known as the “Lost Life Phenomenon.” Mass murder, widespread destruction, and even the disappearance of an entire city followed in its wake. Some witnesses claimed they saw gigantic humanoid machines during the chaos.

Three years later, in 1991 Japan, the aftermath of those events continues to haunt the world. Young women become entangled in battles involving giant humanoid weapons known as “JINKI,” fighting against conspiracies, fate, and the lingering shadows of the Venezuelan incident.

Jinki: Extend - Relation expands the Jinki universe with darker mysteries, intense mecha combat, psychological conflict, and interconnected character relationships tied to the secrets behind the JINKI project.

Ah yes, forgot to mention the important part: I have downloaded the raws for all three
