フルメタル・パニック!
Sousuke Sagara is not a typical transfer student. He reads military magazines, answers ordinary questions with a clipped affirmative, and thinks nothing of carrying grenades in his school bag. At Jindai High School his classmates write him off as a hopeless military geek, though Kaname Chidori suspects there is more to him than his odd habits suggest.
She is right. Sousuke belongs to an elite military unit and pilots a mech, and he has been sent undercover to protect Kaname, whose knowledge makes her a target for the KGB. When their plane is hijacked during a field trip, the pretense collapses.
Keeping her alive would be simple enough on a battlefield, but Sousuke has to do it in a school full of teachers, classmates and ordinary routines. His enemies are patient and well armed, and the line between his mission and daily life keeps blurring.
