The chief officers. ACCA's elite. Five of the most powerful men in the nation...Although their story has ended, the question remains-how did it begin? Take the chance to peek behind the veil of secrecy and intrigue to find out the origins and relationships of the final five chief officers.
Natsume Ono (Japanese name: オノ・ナツメ) made her professional debut in 2003 with the webcomic La Quinta Camera. Her subsequent works not simple, Ristorante Paradiso, and Gente (a continuation of Ristorante Paradiso) met with both critical and popular acclaim. In 2009 Ristorante Paradiso was adapted into a TV anime series. Her current series House of Five Leaves (Saraiya Goyou), also adapted into a TV anime series in 2010, is running in IKKI magazine.
Natsume Ono is one of my favorite mangakas. I love her short stories and ACCA 13-Territory Inspection Department is my favorite work from her. This should be a slam dunk. Unfortunately, this collection is a tad underwhelming. My frustration stems from the Suitsu story. It offers little that we don't already know. I don't get why two chapters are dedicated to it; it feels like filler. Still, I appreciate getting some backstory on how the chief officers come to their positions.
