Description:
Roberta's vendetta continues as Revy and Rock enlist some old acquaintances to try and catch up with Roberta before it's too late. They're going to have to get in line since Roberta's got everyone from a U.S. military black ops unit to her ex-F.A.R.C. comrades gunning for her, not to mention the CIA and the NSA. When the turmoil becomes more than the city's criminal underworld can bear, Balalaika and her Hotel Moscow commandos enter the game. With so many players at the table, it's winner take all, and the stakes couldn't be higher!
Story and Art by Rie Hiroe.

A love triangle forms between two reincarnated priestesses and a boy who represents part of their nihilistic foe in a series laden with fan service and mecha action but ultimately more focused on the development of the central characters' obsessive love.

Gestalt GN 1
Only the most devoted of Yun Kouga fans. The rest of the manga reading world is safe sticking with the likes of Loveless and Earthian and leaving Gestalt to its remote little island.

This isn't just a comedy or a slice-of-life drama; it's an indispensible snapshot of the otaku zeitgeist.
This isn't just a comedy or a slice-
...a unique adventure delving somewhere between giant robot action show and a school based romantic comedy. The setting, characters, and action move the storyline along briskly...
