Full Metal Panic! Short Stories

Sagara Sousuke isn't your typical high school student. He reads military enthusiast magazines; he responds to questions with "affirmative;" he brings grenades to school in his bag. Though everyone at school takes him for a hopeless military geek, Chidori Kaname thinks there might be something more to him. When their plane is hijacked in the middle of a field trip, Kaname's instincts will prove correct: Sousuke is an elite, mech-piloting mercenary... and he's here to protect her!

Lifelong mercenary Sagara Sousuke’s struggles to fit in at a regular Japanese high school continue. He turns a turf war with delinquents into a hostage situation, investigates a local shrine for nuclear weapons, and sends a struggling rugby team through boot camp! He’s getting closer with his friend Chidori Kaname, too... but between almost losing an important assignment of hers—forcing them into a race against time to get home and back—and running recon on her first date with an old crush, he might be a little behind in the count! But however the game turns out, this is one batter that always swings for the fences!
