Burst Angel hit our shores in 2007, and now a year later we are graced with the manga that started the series.
Burst Angel volume 1 takes place in the time before the team was put together. The story follows Jo and Meg as they try to make ends meet with their business “Jakes of All Trades”. They are not only looked for as one of the best people to hire for a task, but are also hunted as two of the biggest bounties there are. The story will also introduce a new character to the series, Takeru. He is the scrawny boy that wants to be stronger, and thinks that being around Jo will help him get there (if he survives the encounter).
Now even though the story is before the anime, don’t think that it means that the action isn’t there. This is an action packed book that shows just how good Jo is, even without a giant robot. It contains 5 chapters that range from the story of a retrieval of an heirloom, to them having to survive while being hunted by mercenaries.
If you liked the anime, or are just looking for a new action packed manga that has “girls with guns”, then you should check out Burst Angel volume 1. You won’t be disappointed.
