Jormungand

Synopsis

The series begins when Jonah, a former child soldier, is taken in by arms dealer Koko Hekmatyar to become her newest bodyguard. Although Jonah has an overall dislike of arms dealers and weapons because of his previous experience, he has no choice in the matter because of a deal he made with Koko's older brother Kasper to take care of three young orphans that he cares about. Koko's Squad, her bodyguard team, is surprised at who their newest member is but Jonah quickly proves his worth when Koko picks him to be her primary bodyguard on his first two missions. Koko's Squad then travels around the world to support her dealings on behalf of HCLI, an international shipping and logistics company run by her father. Along the way they encounter other arms dealers such as CCAT, the Tashinhai Consu, Euro Group, and the SR Unit. The CIA also begins to pay more attention to Koko. Each member of the squad's background is gradually revealed and plays a role in how successive story arcs play out. It is also revealed that Koko and her best friend, the scientist Minami Amada, are working on a secret project known as Jormungand, and Koko eventually begins to focus more of her efforts on her role in completing it. After learning about Jormungand and that its activation will cause several hundred thousand deaths by closing off the sky to all forms of flight as part of Koko's goal to achieve world peace, Jonah decides to quit working for her and runs away, finding refuge with Kasper. Two years later, with the world gripped by various wars and racked by terrorism, Jonah eventually finds his way back to Koko and decides to join her again, allowing her to activate Jormungand.
