SYNOPSIS:
Ancient curses, enchanted artifacts and plain old fashioned dungeon
diving: that's what Fam and Ihrie do for a living - whenever these
lovely young ladies can get someone to pay them for it, that is. As two
highly trained magic users with slightly faulty spelling abilities (Fam
can't do anything destructive and Ihrie keeps turning into a mouse,)
they're off on a quest for the "Ultimate Power." All they have to do is
find three artifacts: the Proof Of Royalty, the Sword of Sargus and the
Mirror of Truth. So how hard can it be? Unfortunately, Sorceress
Rasha and her muscle-headed partner Migel are on the same quest, as are
the mysterious Prince Lyle, the anything for a buck merchant Galuff with
his dog Gil, and the sinister magician Rugudurol! And to make this
epic odyssey even more odd and complex, it's not really clear as to
exactly which ones are the bad guys! Hold onto your talismans and
amulets, because the road to high adventure is about to have a
multi-mage pileup, and the fate of all humanity may just be in the hands
of two underpaid young women trying to make a living as RUIN EXPLORERS.

Giant Robots, sociopaths, madmen waving guns: these aren't just the
problems the Mobile Police have to deal with every day, these ARE the
Mobile Police! But in a world where giant robots called Labors are
frequently used for criminal purposes, the boys and girls in blue have
to face things that are even bigger and scarier! So when police cadet
Noa Izumi comes in to take a pilot aptitude test and instead initiates a
high speed chase after a stolen Police Labor, it's clear that she's got
exactly the right combination of guts, brains and just plain crazy that
the Second Special Vehicles Division desperately needs. But fitting
into the frequently insane lifestyle of SV2 won't be easy. She'll have
rivals for the pilot seat of the mech that's stolen Noa's heart, and her
patrol duties will include herding whales, exorcising hauntings and
fighting rogue military units on top of the usual terrorists. On the
other hand, she gets to carry the biggest handgun EVER. The wheels of
justice keep turning (or, in this case, running on giant metal legs,) as
SV2 hits the street in MOBILE POLICE PATLABOR TV - COLLECTION 1.
