(Yet another) series I'm catching up on for Dragon Age. The third volume to be released early next year will come with a limited edition drama CD. In addition, the past two Dragon Age magazines all had bonus drama CDs for this series that I haven't been able to listen to until now. The author for this series did the manga for Real Bout Highschool, but he wasn't the one who came up with the story. This time, Zero In is his creation.

The story is pretty interesting. It revolves around a high school aged boy, Kou, who gets rescued by a girl he recognizes from school, Mikuru. While she's a regular high school student (a bit on the popular side), she also serves as an agent for Minkei, a private police force. She has her own background story of why she joined and why she can't kill people.

The artwork is excellent, especially when Mikuru is up-close and attacking the enemies.

Just a color page as bonus along with two side story chapters.

1. 爲妹みくる (Mikuru Nazume)
2. 白石光 (Kou Shiraishi)
3. 教官・久巻勇示 (Instructor, Yuji Hisamaki)
4. Switch Barrel
5. Wildcat Cartridge
