Full Metal Panic Novel Volume 3 Into The Blue

While on vacation, Chidori Kaname is invited to a Pacific island by Sousuke Sagara, the world's biggest war nut. She is really excited--until she finds out Sousuke isn't planning a relaxing tour of nature, but a high-speed adventure full of thrills, chills, and danger. Young adult.

Kaname is in the doldrums: There's just one week until the end of summer vacation, and she hasn't done anything interesting! Fortunately, Sousuke is here to provide a little adventure, by offering her a trip to Merida Island. But what starts for Kaname as a simple trip to learn more about the mystery surrounding her quickly snowballs into a firefight in a chemical weapons facility, a reunion with a mortal enemy, and a battle for control of a runaway submarine! However things turn out, at least she can't claim that her summer was uneventful...

Relates the adventures of Sosuke, a trained operative from a secret organization and a high school student.

Découragé et écœuré, Sôsuke a quitté son poste et erre désormais dans les rues d'un Hong Kong dévasté par les attaques du Vénom qu'il était venu intercepter. C'est alors qu'il remarque un message codé qui lui est visiblement destiné. Un bien sombre passé semble vouloir le rattraper...

Sagara Sousuke isn't your typical high school student. He reads military enthusiast magazines; he responds to questions with "affirmative;" he brings grenades to school in his bag. Though everyone at school takes him for a hopeless military geek, Chidori Kaname thinks there might be something more to him. When their plane is hijacked in the middle of a field trip, Kaname's instincts will prove correct: Sousuke is an elite, mech-piloting mercenary... and he's here to protect her!

Two months after Sunan, Sousuke and Kaname are in a holding pattern. He'll fire his rifle off the school roof; she'll yell at him to stop; lather, rinse, repeat. That all changes one day, when Sousuke's commanding officer Teletha "Tessa" Testarossa shows up at his apartment, trying to hide a key to a terrorist superweapon of unprecedented power. Tessa is brilliant, pretty, and the same age as Sousuke, and her presence might put a serious crimp on his relationship with Kaname... assuming the city survives the night!

Mercenary-turned-student Sagara Sousuke is here to solve any problems that might befall his new home front of Jindai High. He’ll investigate a threat to a schoolwide sports tournament, play unwitting cupid for two lonely teachers, and engage in a cat-and-mouse rivalry against a lunchtime saboteur! With his potential love interest (and eternal wrangler) Chidori Kaname by his side, he’ll also seek out the truth behind a haunted hospital and lay a trap for a fiendish after-school attacker—who forces women’s hair into ponytails! Life in Tokyo might seem like a circus sometimes, but ringmaster Sousuke is here to take control!

When Kalinin and Tessa investigate the capture of a suspected terrorist by the Japanese government, they expect the procedure to be routine--but find it's anything but! Then, when Tessa turns to Sousuke for help, a seemingly jilted Kaname only increases the drama quotient. And the threesome's problems grow exponentially when they learn about the existence of a mammoth AS known as Behemoth--with which the terrorists plan on destroying the city...Will it by "Sayonara Tokyo"?
