planet's automatic defense mechanisms are set in motion by the Sentinels,
guardians of a dying race.

                             ORIGINAL DIRTY PAIR
                                   Volume 1

On the heels of the best selling Dirty Pair Flash series, come the original 
Lovely Angels wreaking the galaxy wide havoc that earned them their name. 
This is the ORIGINAL Kei and Yuri, the gun wielding, Bloody Card throwing 
Dirty Pair that millions have come to know and love. Who else could destroy
half the city in pursuit of a walking arsenal disguised as an android and
still call it a victory? Older, sexier and able to cause every bit as much
collateral damage as their younger cousins, the original Pair are back at
last!

                                 3RD STRIKE

Eating is serious business in the military, and the announcement of a
ramen-noodle-eating contest is an event not to be missed. As casual
wagering on the outcome escalates into a frenzied multi-national gambling
racket, all eyes turn to the daring young men and women of the 801 T.T.S.
Airbats. Who among them will emerge as the ultimate victor? Rigorous
training, devoted practive and the mysterious arts of mass consumption
result in merciless culinary combat and dinner table treachery as the bowl
count rises. Bring your appetite for riotous comedy when you sit down with
the 801 T.T.S. Airbats 3!
