Magical Girl Spec Ops Asuka Vol 1

Three years ago, alien invaders ravaged the Earth–until they were defeated by a group of young women blessed with powers from a mysterious source. The girls went back to their normal lives after vanquishing the ghastly monsters, but that time of peace is about to end. The same malevolent creatures have resurfaced, which means it's time for the Magical Girl Special Ops force to head back to the battlefront and defend mankind!

BLACK MARKET After her friend’s kidnapping, Asuka knows one thing for sure: She can’t hide from the dangers of the world’s magical underground. Japan’s newest special operations unit is more than happy to bring her on board, and their first test isn’t long in coming. In an age of magic and spirits, Earth’s arms dealers jump at any opportunity to seize some arcane relics of their own–even if the asking price is human lives. It’s time to send in the right magical girl for the job.

A RUSSIAN RAID Nazani’s infiltration of the Russian Mafia ended in disastrous failure, but a rescue operation is already underway. Magical Girl Chisato and the operatives from Public Security are prepared to storm the building–not just to save Nazani, but also to rescue Tamara from brutal brainwashing. To pull it off, they’ll have to prevail against a genius of hand-to-hand combat and a corpse-puppeting necromancer. The battle against the Babel Brigade continues worldwide!

BRAINWASHED Tamara has been rescued, but in order to free her from the Russian Army’s indoctrination, her teammates must torture her. Meanwhile, the U.N. calls an emergency meeting of the Security Council, gathering Magical Girls from all over the world, including Asuka’s Five. Behind the scenes, the wicked hand of the Babel Brigade creeps ever closer!
