This was an enjoyable spin-off series that focuses more on the other members of the Defense Force. The first few chapters follow Vice-Captain Hoshina and his journey to becoming part of Mina’s team. It was great getting some background on Hoshina and his motivations for being a swordsman in an age of guns.
Then we jump to Kikoru and see her testing out a specialty weapon by fighting crab Kaiju. This does end in the middle of her test so I am very interested in seeing what happens next.
