About this title

Synopsis

Many years after a devastating war killed 80% of the population, Earth is being watched by a group of beings known as The Third, named for the third red eye on their forehead that can access various computer systems. Navigating this barren, apocalyptic landscape is Honoka, a jill-of-all-trades that uses her powerful third blue eye to detect life forces in battle as she attempts to keep her friends from The Third's deadly grasp.

    Honoka is a cheerful young girl who works as a freelancer. She’ll take on almost any job, though she doesn’t really care for mercenary work. Because she spent most of her childhood in the desert, she’s a bit of a tomboy (and is often teased about it). Bogie, her A.I. partner, has been with her since she was very young, and she’s come to care about him just as much as he does for her. Honoka has many layers to her personality; she’s strong yet gentle, aggressive yet vulnerable. (Source: RightStuf)

    Bogie is Honoka’s partner. He’s an A.I. unit that acts as Honoka’s guide, guardian, and friend. The actual casing he resides in isn’t very large, but he’s usually fixed into Honoka’s tank to act as its pilot. He has a very straightforward personality and is often strict with Honoka, especially when it comes to her safety. He seems to nag a bit when she doesn’t wake up on time, or follow a specific course of action… but perhaps that’s to be expected of a computer. Regardless, Bogie cares about Honoka a great deal.
