In the era of cavemen, a boy with white skin is born on the night of a storm. He is immediately outcast as a cursed child, doomed to bring disaster to whoever he comes across. This boy is set to be sacrificed to the Dragon King (a tyrannosaurus), but is saved by an ape woman, Kitty, and is given the name Ryu. Ryu grows up as her child, and soon encounters the world of the cavemen again - with Kitty dying in a skirmish between them and the Dragon King. Ryu soon learns that Kitty is not his birth mother, though she is somewhere out in the world. Faced with this mystery, Ryu ventures on a journey to seek her - all while dealing with discrimination from other cavemen, and the ever-present danger of the prehistoric era.

The manga's setting takes place immediately after the Kamen Rider Super-1 series, and is different from the TV Special "Birth of the 10th! Kamen Riders All Together!!" in 1984.In particular, this manga also contributes to supplementing and correcting missing details in the original series such as why Riderman is still alive after the Pluton warhead explosion in the series "Kamen Rider V3", or why Electronic Wave Humanoid Tackle was never recognized as a Kamen Rider. Initially, the series was published in the manga magazine "Magazine Z" and had to stop for a while because "Magazine Z" decided to cancel publication. Later, the manga was revived by "Monthly Shounen Magazine" under the name "Shin Kamen Rider SPIRITS" and continues to be published to this day.Since volume 3, Shin Kamen Rider Spirits has been published with a special edition, comes with a rare cover, and a separate volume of colorized version for a specific arc in the manga. The first arc which was fully colored was chapter 1 from the original run ("Skyscraper's Gale"). (P/S: Although there are differences in the presence or absence of the booklet and the cover design between the regular and special editions, the main contents of the manga themselves are the same.)
