Virus Buster Serge takes place in 2097, in a little place called Neo Hong Kong, which I thought was rather cool -- finally a bit of a departure from constant Neo Tokyo references. The denizens of earth are currently being threatened by an entity that calls himself the Incubator, who has created an evil virus which can infect both man and machine. Infect machines? Sound rather weird? At first I thought so as well. The virus does infect mecha, called Armored Gears in this series, taking them over. Enter STAND, a group of elite individuals encased in really cool powered armor suits called Variable Gear. The Knight Sabers ... err, wait ... STAND ... uses these suits to great effect fighting rampant virus infected Armored Gears. Serge himself enters the scenario against his will, as all reluctant heroes must. He has been plagued by really bad dreams, which have convinced him that STAND's leader, Raven, should be dead. He decides to make this happen by assassinating Raven himself, but only succeeds in earning Raven's attention. Raven decides Serge is quite a potential fighter and manages to snare him through cunning and trickery into ing STAND to help fight against the Incubator's viral attacks.

Papacharino Nanadan, and his bumbling henchmen. But even worse than the incompetent bad guys are the disastrous cooking contests, exploding spas and cheerleading aliens...

Another sunny, peaceful day begins at the Kasahari Apartments in the city of Japoness for Bloodberry — female androids called Marionettes. Surprisingly, Faust's somewhat reformed Sabre Dolls — Tiger, Luchs, and Panther — are sent to stay with Otaru to learn more about being human. And so they undergo live-in etiquette training at Otaru's home. All marionettes under Otaru's charge are special in that they have the maiden circuit equipped. This allows a marionette to feel emotions, making his household especially lively at times.

Lorelei, at Castle Japoness, tries to repair Tiger's maiden circuit when a mysterious new marionette infiltrates the premises. Around this time the so-called Whirlwind Bandit starts stealing valuables and food all over Japoness city... Up in the mountains Lime then discovers the dark-skinned marionette NSM-X1 who is looking for a master. As it turns out, she also has a maiden circuit, and was behind the thefts. Since she came from the sea they decide to name her Marine and welcome her to the Otaru household as well.

But it appears that another country and Faust are very interested in Marine's awakening, almost fearful of it. And for some reason Marine harbours a deep-rooted fear of men...
