This is the fictional story of an all-female German tank squad, which was "lost in the darkness of history," called Schaferhund. They're fierce fighters who don't fear death, and who think of themselves as expendable. They are typically up against the resistance, who will even use children to murder German soldiers. One day, they get a new commander, a young man who values the human lives of the people under his command. There's plenty of friction between the former acting commander of the squad, Kaya, and the new commander--and not only because he accidentally saw her (and many other female soldiers) mostly naked. What will the future hold in store for Schaferhund?

According to AoiTsukiReviewer at www.mangaupdates.com, this is an enjoyable, intricate and beautifully crafted manga with nice ambience and enjoyable characters. The story revolves around a "older" (probably mid-20s but a mature type) woman named Alice who returns to live in the countryside after her grandma's death. She re-opens the traditional irori, a traditional Japanese open hearth. She reunites with her childhood friend and the manga follows the two (as well as people around them). The characters have a good dynamic and are well matched. They are also NOT dense when it comes to love, they do pick things up rather fast, and they don't sit on them which is refreshing. Art style is beautiful, soft and detailed. A lot of thought goes not only in drawing the characters but also in "background"; the room and items. This is a good example of a "classical", well drawn manga, not an epic manga like the more known ones, but rather that type of quiet, ambiental, beautifully drawn manga that's soothing but not boring, mature but not heavy, and light while not cheap.

Akira, the young champion of a street fighting tournament called Bl@ster, is suddenly arrested for a crime he didn't commit.

Note: There are two different versions of the Togainu comic by two different mangakas. One is being published in Magazine ZERO, the other is in Comic B's Log. This one is the comic running in B's Log.

Plot: Kinasuki Shin is a delinquent who always seems to get into trouble- but his martial arts skills usually save him from getting hurt during fights. One day, as he was being threatened by a group of gangsters, supermodel Takami Ukon sees him and is impressed by Shin's superiority in fighting against the gangsters. As fate would have it, Ukon discovers how Shin's bad luck has landed him in a huge debt involving an imported car. Shin's only option is to repay the money via monthly installments by finding a part-time job. Ukon meets Shin at school the following day and proceeds to explain that he saw the whole incident by accident, but promises not to tell anyone. He then offers Shin a job as his bodyguard. The initially skeptical Shin is later enticed by the high wages and signs a contract with Ukon.Ukon transfers to Meikyo High School ends up in the same class as Shin. Whenever both of them are together, they become involved in more trouble than either would have been in if he were alone. Eventually Shin confesses to Ukon that he seems to 'attract disaster and bad luck'. To his amazement, Ukon admits that he has the same problem.Predictably, the duo become quite popular at school; beautiful but wild Shin and handsome supermodel Ukon. Even so, no one knows about the fact that Shin is Ukon's bodyguard, as it was agreed that the matter should be kept confidential because Shin could not bear to let Houshou senpai (his benefactor) worry about his huge debt. What will become with the two of them as they go through high-school life together? Many new characters appear as the story progresses, and the ensuing drama and hilarity make this manga well worth a read for any BL fan.
