Synopsis

Three years ago, an abrupt ceasefire ended a long and devastating conflict between the Republic of Frost and the Empire, bringing about peace and sending both nations on the arduous journey of recovery. In the battle-scarred Empire, sickness and starvation ravage the lands, and many former soldiers turn to crime, adding to a common man's misery. To combat this, the Empire has established Imperial Army State Section III, known as Pumpkin Scissors—a platoon dedicated to war relief and reconstruction.

Although the young and energetic Second Lieutenant Alice L. Malvin honorably leads Pumpkin Scissors, the unit is seen as nothing more than a shameless propaganda tool used only to placate the masses. As Alice strives to further her unit's cause and win the favor of the populace, she decides to recruit Randal Oland, a mysterious and kind veteran with a grim past.

One point I really liked about this manga is the discourse, specially in the later volumes, about the discrepancies between technological and social advancement in a particular society. Technology advances a lot faster than social conventions and, like in our own world, we get to see how most of the people making the decisions are not prepared ...

Preliminary (109/? eps)
Honestly speaking, despite this being pretty old and still running today, it hasn't gotten boring even in the slightest. The whole idea or premise is definitely promising and the execution of it, was definitely good despite it having a little bit of a slow start. One of the main characters, Lieutenant Malvin, has a rather hard to swallow personality to phrase it nicely. She is however, getting better as time goes on due to the learning process and development of her character, so that is a plus since I was afraid of her never getting any better. Regarding the story, I think that there is ...
