Battle Programmer Shirase

Akira Shirase appears to live an unremarkable life, but in the computer world he is a programmer of extraordinary skill. People with urgent technical problems seek him out, often discovering that rare equipment interests him more than an ordinary fee.

From malicious intrusions to crises that overwhelm conventional defenses, Shirase answers each challenge with unlikely speed and ingenuity. His eccentric habits and the people who interrupt his quiet routine ensure that the trouble is never confined to the screen.
