About Burst Angel

If you are hunting for a new adventure series, Burst Angel (Bakuretsu Tenshi) deserves a look (2004). The setup goes like this. At its core: In Japan's not-too-distant future, crime has become so common that the government has legalised firearms for citizens to use in self-defence. To combat this new wave of wrongdoing, the Recently Armed Police of Tokyo was established in hopes of hunting down criminals with lethal force.

Also worth knowing: Kyohei Tachibana is a gifted culinary student who dreams of saving up enough money to become a pastry chef in France. When four young mercenaries ask him to be their cook, he's pushed into making a tough choice. As Jo, Meg, Sei, and Amy take on the bloodiest jobs in the chaotic city of Tokyo, Kyohei accepts an imminent descent into the world of crime—and he'll do a lot more than just cooking!

With adventure at the core, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. If you count yourself among anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling, put it on your list.
