In a place as violent and crime-ridden as New Port City a normal police force just doesn’t cut it. For that reason the city has created a special tank-based task force to stand up against the toughest criminals… while causing untold amounts of collateral damage in the process.

A conspiracy-themed, police-focused action series with a large amount of comic relief. Technically a sequel to Dominion, effectively it’s a stand-alone work.

With crime raging out of control the city of New Port decided the best course of action was to create a new police unit outfitted with military-grade weaponry. Come to be known as the Tank Police, the unit initially had remarkable success at reducing crime while keeping collateral damage to a relative minimum… until that fateful day when the reckless Leona Ozaki was transferred in from the force’s patrol division.

A police-themed cyberpunk action-comedy with a moderate level of ecchi and minor romance elements in the first half. The second half however trades most of the ecchi for drama.

Often mistaken for a gal due to her tanned skin and light hair, Momo Adachi frequently has to fend off assumptions about her character. Making matters worse is that the scheming and more classically beautiful Sae Kashiwagi seems dead-set on outshining her in every way. Particularly where boys are concerned. So it comes as a shock when Sae’s attempt to steal the attention of Kairi Okayasu, whom Momo feigns interest in, backfires spectacularly: Kairi has in fact been long interested in Momo. But will Momo ever return his feelings when she’s in fact interested in someone else entirely?

A school life romantic comedy with a large amount of relationship drama.
