Summary

Sagara Sousuke isn't your typical high school student.

He reads military enthusiast magazines; he responds to questions with "affirmative;" he brings grenades to school in his bag. Though everyone at school takes him for a hopeless military geek, Chidori Kaname thinks there might be something more to him. When their plane is hijacked in the middle of a field trip, Kaname's instincts will prove correct: Sousuke is an elite, mech-piloting mercenary... and he's here to protect her!

Oh boy, I used to love the anime as a young teen, but it didn’t age as well as I hoped. Still very enjoyable if you manage to ignore the implications of the masculine characters’ actions and the casual sexism and heteronormative stereotypes. The performances are top notch, however, and make it much easier to swallow, especially considering how purple the prose is at time and amateurish the writing is. A classic case of great idea, good story, mediocre execution. I’ll be listening to the following books out of pure doggedness (and because I love the voice cast’s performances) and I hope that I won’t have to look into the distance with dead eyes as much as I did for this one.

Great performance of an unfortunately awkward text
