***Warning, the following may contain spoilers for Aria the Scarlet Ammo AA. Reader discretion is advised.***

Series Synopsis

Crime has grown out of hand. To regain order, the governments of the world have relied on the expertise of highly skilled law enforcement agents known as the Butei.

In Japan, the prestigious Tokyo Butei High trains the next generation of agents. Along with actual field experience, the school offers the Amica program. With this, a younger student can go under the watchful eye of an experienced upperclassman.

First-year student Akari Mamiya (voiced by Ayane Sakura), a lowly E-Rank Butei, wishes to enter the Amica program. Her mentor of choice is none other than the internationally famous S-Rank Butei Aria Kanzaki (voiced by Rie Kugimiya).

To Akari’s shock, Aria decides to give her a chance. Utterly outclassed, Akari does manage to impress Aria. Although not ready to accept Akari as her official Amika, Aria agrees to train her bright-eyed underclassman.

The job of a Butei is a difficult and dangerous one. Making matters worse, at this moment, it is unclear whether Akari will be an asset or a burden for Aria.

Series Synopsis

To combat rising crime rates the world has relied on the talents of the Butei. Butei are special agents trained in various tactical and law enforcement techniques. They have the skills to wield a wide array of weaponry as well as the authority to make arrests on the international level. Due to their responsibilities, the job of a Butei is a dangerous one.

That is why only the best can succeed. And it is part of the reason Kinji Touyama (voiced by Junji Majima) wants out.

A student at Butei High School in Tokyo, Kinji wishes for a normal life. He has even sabotaged his standing at the academy in his attempt to get out. Currently, with the lowest rank possible for a Butei, Kinji is holding back his actual abilities.

Inheriting a mysterious family trait, Kinji, under the right conditions, can enter Hysteria Mode. While in this state, he can perform superhuman feats of strength and battle awareness. Because of his desire to quit, he tries to suppress what he can do. That becomes much more difficult upon meeting a petite, twin-tailed haired girl.
