Falling in love harder. But getting the one you love to love you back is harder. What's a pirate empress to do but kidnap his female companions to learn how to navigate the way towards a rubber man's heart.

Just what would happen if a rag-tag group of bounty hunters tried to claim the bounty of Chopper?

As the only guy in the world who can pilot an IS, Ichika was used to everyone knowing who he was. Now, no one knows who he is. Not his sister, his friends, or anybody. Now there's this boy claiming he's Ichika. What's worse is that everyone believes him! Ichika's gonna figure out what's going on or his name isn't Ichika Orimura. At least… it used to be.

A young boy discovers he can activate the IS. This should be a dream come true until he realizes how insane these death machines are. Forget being a pilot, he just wants to live in peace. Now his government is forcing him to attend IS Academy. With rogue IS units, mad scientists, and terrorists targeting the Academy, the boys have one job. Stay alive.
