Résumés(1)
The horrors of war still haunt 20-year-old retired soldier Toru Acura. Disillusioned and unemployed, Toru spends his days loafing around without purpose, and struggles to adjust to a life without combat. However, his younger sister, Akari, is fed up with being the sole breadwinner, and this time she’s dead serious. Faced with the ultimatum of finding a source of income or meeting the business end of Akari’s spiked hammer, Toru is reluctantly forced out of the house to find a either a job or a gravesite. Instead, Toru runs smack dab into the mysterious Chaika Trabant, a 14-year-old girl from a faraway land with interesting taste in accessories. On her back is a massive coffin almost as large as the secret she carries, and although she may be small this girl packs a big punch. For Chaika is not just a stray traveler- she’s a sniper rifle-toting sorceress who’s a hell of a shot! Their chance encounter sets forth a series of events that will not only force them to confront their pasts, but will forever change their futures. (Manga Home Entertainment)

Avenging Battle (2014) (S02)
If you liked the first season and where others saw weaknesses, you found only strengths, you will adore the second season. If you want action and suspense, it is no problem, and if you want more interesting characters, there are enough of them. If you want Chaika, she is there in spades because there is never enough of Chaika! In other words, the second season is not only as good as the first one, However, because of the gradual unfolding of the narrative and the answers to some questions (which only bring new ones), it surpasses it. The only real shame is the somewhat rushed and unfinished conclusion because as excellent as the penultimate episode was, they managed to undo the good work in the last one. In other words, it has its quirks, but the moment Chaika starts talking in that weird style of hers, I pretty much start not to care. 9/10.
