Set in the fictional city of Newport, Japan, in a future in which bacteria as well as air pollution have become so severe that people must wear gas masks when outdoors, the series follows a police squadron that uses military-style tanks.

The New Dominion Tank Police series was also distributed in the UK, Australia and United States by Manga Entertainment, but later expired.

Due to unbearable air quality, the people who inhabit the metropolis of New Port City are forced to wear oxygen masks when outside.

Bandit Buaku, accompanied by two android twins called the "Puma Sisters", tries to capture a top-secret government project that applies a plant's biology to a human's genome allowing for self-oxygenation.

Captain Brenten and his squadron of Tank Police, composed of officers Leona Ozaki and Al'Cu Ad Solte among others, set out to put a stop to Buaku using their brute military force.
