FULL METAL PANIC SHORT STORIES COLL ED HC (2025)

Contains the Complete Volumes 4-6! Vol. 4: With his loyal(ish) assistant Chidori Kaname by his side, Sagara Sousuke is ready for his new career as a private investigator for Jindai High. Whether it's the murder of endangered snails or a local scam operation, Detective Sousuke is on the case! Vol. 5: Problem-solver Sagara Sousuke is at it again, from negotiating peace between warring playground factions to dueling for control of a dojo! Oh, and don't forget leading a yakuza turf war in a mascot suit! Vol. 6: Leaving the mercenary life behind sounds nice-until you realize high school is a battlefield of its own! Navigating romance, subbing in for a movie actor, drafting a prospective student pamphlet... It's all just as intense for Sagara Sousuke!

The adventures continue in a new collection of hilarious side stories, now available for the first time in English! Intriguing One-Man Band? Sagara Sousuke is an average Japanese high school student-totally not a war-addled military geek who mistakes love letters for bombs. He drives Chidori Kaname crazy, but even though he's agreed to date another girl, she just can't leave him alone! Unflinching Two-Out Inning? Sagara Sousuke is at it again, from turning a turf war into a hostage situation to sending a rugby team through boot camp. Meanwhile, he's growing closer with Chidori Kaname. Even when it looks like he might strike out, he never stops swinging! Unpolished Three-Ring Circus? Sagara Sousuke is here to yet again solve any problems that might befall Jindai High. With Chidori Kaname by his side, he'll seek out the truth behind a haunted hospital and lay a trap for a ponytail-obsessed villain, along with other misadventures!
