Outside forces are closing in on Tatsuya, not through violence, but by employing international politics and societal pressure. These actions impacts his school life and forces his friends to make difficult choices. What follows is a story in which Tatsuya gets to show off, but more importantly so do his friends. As always, great world building, even if the kids get to do a bit more than makes sense, and some decent character developments, again, mostly from the gang as opposed to Tatsuya and Miyuki. Really curious what is going to happen next, since just blowing up things is not going to work...
