Arms dealers and child soldiers can be a regular,
tragic feature of the evening world news, so the idea of making an entertaining
anime about the subject may seem, at the least, a matter of extremely bad
taste. The makers of this superb series didn’t let a little questionable
judgment stop them, though, and the result is a heck of a lot of fun. The
series follows the story of Jonah, a child soldier who gets assigned to be the
bodyguard for an international arms dealer named Koko. While he has a personal
hatred for the profession and the people who are in it, Jonah tries to put his
feelings aside and use the contacts he makes to investigate who sold the guns
and who pulled the triggers that murdered his parents. Although he tries to
stay aloof, Johan soon develops feelings for the woman he’s protecting, as well
as the team of sharpshooters who make up her family. You will, too.
