It collects the next chapter of the steampunk adventure, blending mecha action with character-driven drama.
In "A Date In Asakusa," Ogami and Iris share a night at the movies, but when a monster film stirs long-buried memories, Iris’s past in France surfaces—unintentionally triggering her psychic abilities and shaking the theater to its core. Written by Ohji Hiroi, Yuko Fukami, and Lillian Diaz-Przybyl, and illustrated by Ikku Masa with inks by Star Print Brokers, this 2007 Tokyopop issue captures a quiet moment that spirals into something far more intense. The cover, a collaboration between Ikku Masa and James Lee, sets the tone with a vivid, emotional scene.
In "A Date In Asakusa," Ensign Ogami takes Iris out for her birthday, sparking a quiet tension with Sakura, while the vengeful Silver White Rasetsu plots retribution against the Imperial Flower Troupe for the loss of Pale Setsuna.
In "Gestalt Explosion," Ogami and Iris share a quiet night at a monster film, but the flickering screen triggers a painful memory for Iris—unearthing buried trauma from her childhood in France. Without warning, her emotions spiral, and her latent psychic force erupts, tearing through the theater in a moment of raw, unintended chaos.
