Rena “The Rabid Dog,” a gunslinger; Tohka, a sniper; Chris, a demolitions expert; Murasaki, a spy; and their handler Haruto form SORD: Social Ops, Research & Development. Mihama now entrusts these so-called misfit girls with live weapons, sending them on missions no one else dares to take. Safety is never guaranteed, as they plunge headfirst into high-risk, extrajudicial operations—fighting for their country, their futures, and each other. A gritty, action-packed visual novel where duty and danger collide. In Vol. 5, a few weeks passed since SORD successfully resolved the Kitaoka University incident. Murasaki’s older sister, Yuuki, returns to Japan to rejoin Class A.

Don't worry... I'm not... going anywhere... I'm here with you..." "I'm stumped... It's exactly as she said - and there's no way to cut a phantom..." "Come on. Chin up... Show me your courage..." Their fateful meeting was also the beginning of a tragic story... "Won't you... give me the order to kill my sister?" When doubt takes hold, will bonds be broken—or made stronger than ever? ____________ Crunchyroll Premium members enjoy an ad-free experience, with full access to Crunchyroll's library of over 1,300 unique titles and 46,000 episodes, including simulcast series that premiere shortly after premiering in Japan.
